I wonder how Sutter and Beagle compare to Cave and Haas.

I wonder how Sutter and Beagle compare to Cave and Haas.

I’m willing to bet similar results

 

[Cupless44]

Our 4th line is just putrid.

 

[Kel Varnson]

"Congrats on making the team Adam. Now enjoy your seat in the press box."

Now i wonder how Cave and Haas compare to Gaudette.

Best popcorn in the league kid. Enjoy

Over under on the number of times the Edler-Myers get caught flat footed by McDavid for a good scoring chance?

Number of times McDavid has to wait for Neal to catch up to the play?

 

[Bankerguy]

Baertschi Gaudette Virtanen
Leivo Beagle Sutter

That looks so much better for a bottom 6

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

That oilers wings though....

I don’t know of many dmen in the league that couldn’t get caught flat footed by McDavid. No shame in it.

If this team wants to contend we need to win games like this. This and the Calgary game may set the tone for the entire season. Relatively big turnover team looking for an early season identity.

 

[Red]

What is the point of Gaudette making the team to sit in the press box. Sigh.

The Oilers forwards past McDavid and Drai are just putrid.

 

[Green Blank Stare]

Still can't believe Tanev is second pairing over Stecher.

 

[Knight53]

That's the oiler roster after 4 first overall picks, a 3rd overall, a 4th overall, a 8th overall, and a 10th overall from 2010 to 2018.

 

[DL44]

I know the Oilers have last change, but I'm looking forward to our top 6 playing vs their bottom 6.

Has Drai played much with Nuge? I dont recall seeing that last yr outside the PP.


Edit.. talking real hockey again!! Wohoo

 

[StreetHawk]

Our 4th line is just putrid.

Guess $10.9 mill in cap spending only gets you so much.

 

[Fire Benning]

McDavid’s wingers combined for 7 NHL goals last year.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

That's the oiler roster after 4 first overall picks, a 3rd overall, a 4th overall, a 8th overall, and a 10th overall from 2010 to 2018.

I think that the Oilers D will be very good in the next few years ,especially if Bouchard and Broberg fulfil expectations.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Peter Chiarelli: Not even once.

 

[GetFocht]

My god, Kassian is a top 6 forward again.

Im actually a fan of the bottom six, there is alot of size and grit in this lineup.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

After all the offseason changes it’s mind boggling that that’s our fourth line.

 

[MadaCanuckle]

Of ccourse Gaudette makes the team to be healthy scratched....

Very little skill though

 

[Soups On]

I'm glad Gaudette made the team. So he can sit in the press box
