Maybe we can trade Ritchie to Edmonton now
If we still had Pateryn we could've gotten a kings ransom . Who else did Hitch love last year thats still on the roster we don't need anymore ?
Hanzal would be a perfect fit. I think that signing was totally inspired by Hitchcock.
Oilers fan here. So what was your guys' experience of having Hitch as head coach last year? My initial reaction was this hire for the Oilers doesn't seem like the best choice.

He will turn Conner McDavid in to the league's first $15Mil checking center...….Oilers fan here. So what was your guys' experience of having Hitch as head coach last year? My initial reaction was this hire for the Oilers doesn't seem like the best choice.
Thanks for the responses. That's pretty much what it looks like from the outside. I was wondering if he had adapted much to the faster NHL game and the nuances were only more apparent to people who regularly watch the team he coaches. However it sounds like it's still defense at the expense of offense.
Also should mention, the team and players did not seem too thrilled with him as coach. Sounds like he is a pain to play for and that players do not care for him all that much. His style is just so old and the way he treats his players doesn't help
So uh Patrik Laine has 5 goals so far in Winnipeg's game...
It's a safe bet that both Connor and Barzal, had more points last year than Guryanov will in his career.Connor with more points tonight than Guri has in his NHL career.
Schmaltz is an established top 6 player.
It probably would’ve cost Hintz or Shore and more, though.
Is he ? He had one strong year last season and has been somewhat disapointing this year so far . Wouldn't call that an established top 6 player.
He had 20 goals, 50 points, and good numbers all around on a pretty abysmal Chicago team. He’s had a slow start to this season relative to last, but is still producing at a 40+ point pace. Some of that is due to Chicago trying to force him out of his comfort zone.
