Why go 11-7 when you can have JP on the 4th line instead of f***ING GONE!! Lol

Might be the first title you've ever posted that I actually understood.

This team is in no position to be dressing anything but their best lineup to make sure we even make the playoffs. Demoting one of our steadiest Dmen so JP can play another game is crazy. I get it's not "easy", but there has to be another way given how long we knew this was coming.

Feel sorry for Desharnais, as it has nothing to do with his play, which has been steady and even excellent at times. All because of the team's cap situation. Which at the end of the day, is the GM's fault and/or responsibility.

 

[Oilhawks]

I’ve been more than patient with a GM that I feel has been more bad than good, which is about what one should realistically hope for from a GM that manages a team they are a fan of. (Unless, of course, one is a ‘genius’ armchair GM that thinks the real world is some variation of NHL23 or some shit.)

That being said, all that good will would be down the toilet if the move tomorrow is send down Holloway and (especially!) Desharnais to make room for a guy that won’t be on the team next season. Particularly if such a move and subsequent shortened roster leads to further issues such as (chiefly) losses leading to the TDL when such a cap clearing move is all but forced

I think its just frustrating because Holland has had literally weeks to months to get this figured out. JP/Foegele for example, I doubt have much value. They're either worth nothing or a late round pick. Whats the harm in waiving them? If they get picked up on waivers, probably just ends up making a Karlsson/Kane/Toews/O'Reilly/Barbashev etc trade easier because you dont have to trade a contract back. I dont think its the end of the world but its honestly just puzzling/frustration at this point.

 

[Coffey]

Can this team even win without Desharnais?

 

[ZJuice]

Desharnais was out sick was he not? I don’t see why the Oilers media would lie about that but I could see them lying lol

Ah I saw the tweet.. he may get sent down to make room for Yams? Lol!!!!

I thought we hated the 11-7?

I hate 7-11. Disgusting places and they smell bad too. They do have good cheap coffee though.

It all started with insulting Warwick Davis. Sounds like you need to make amends.

Demoting someone who's been good and opting to have only 20 players is worse than 11-7.

 

[tinfish]

Would it not also work capwise to send Holloway down, put Puljujarvi on waivers and send him down, and then keep Desharnais on the roster and insert Yamomoto, or does that leave us short 1 forward?

 

[Dorian2]

Nope. He's the missing link.

 

[oil Leaks]

Nurse - Karlsson
Kulak - Ceci

I believe that would still have us $1.25M over the cap.

Dang. Don't want to send Desharnais down myself. I really like what he's bringing
