Like, how does that happen? I know the Lucic contract is bad, but who else are they spending way too much on? One bad contract can't be the entire cause for them spending to the cap, yet having zero depth.

47% is tied up in McDavid, Draitsal, Lucic, RNH and Talbot

We pay less for Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Kessel and Murray. Not by much but our group is way better and they’ve overpaid a lot of their depth. Some of them are straight up bad. It all adds up in the end.

Why'd they dump bob? Why of all things to your rival?
You mean the original Bobs trade?

Because they signed that idiot Bryzgalov to that hilariously bad contract and had to move Bobs. They got impatient and went all in on "Why you heff to be mad" and got rid of the stud goalie that they found and then had no patience for.

Aye, here-here!

May they be subject to another 43 years of mismanagement!

Would a random Oilers fan be worse at GMing the Oilers than Chiarelli has been? It's tough to say.

Agree...but I think the more relevant question is, if you had a random board with a spinner or dice, and you made random trades or non-trades or organizational decisions based on the spots or numbers landed on (I.e. luck), would those decisions be any more effective for the Oilers than the ones Chia makes? Now if that’s the question, I think the answer is more clearly yes than your posed scenario...therefore, why does he still have a job is an excellent question...

Whyyy is NBC making me watch the Blackhawks still. When will it be enough

It’s never enough....no matter how bad the Hawks are, we get to hear about their tremendous top 100 players for the rest of our lives...and why would we complain about that...

I have the Calgary / Colorado game on, but for some reason I thought Capitals had a late west game tonight... what the hell was I thinking.
Some hockey and afterwards, to watch some of Ragnar's crazy kids in Vikings.

The Lucic (6 mill per season) and Russell (4 mill per season) contracts are killers. Because 10 mill could get a decent winger or two.

Nine straight losses for the Ducks, you just know the Pens will underestimate them on Friday.;)

Forsberg undressed Mr. Intangibles Toews in OT, that was beautiful.
