Far fetched, but I wonder how he'd do as a forward? He isn't good defensively and his only upside is offensive skill, I would try him out on forward. Can't be worse than what were seeing now.
not skilled enough for the top 6 and too weak for the bottom 6.

Byfuglien and Burns are two defenceman converted forward that I recall playing actually pretty solid.

Both of those players are big boys, but it would be interesting nonetheless; who knows, maybe he was a forward all along at heart? :sarcasm:

Maybe his soft ass wristers and slapshots will hit the net if he's actually closer to it. :laugh:

Larsen was also decent as a winger, so it doesn't necessarily have to be big players. You'd think we would try it once or twice before we deal him. But mind you, maybe that's sending the wrong message to teams that are looking at him

Jultz as a hypothetical forward only makes sense next year. For whoever takes a flyer on him.

Right now the Oilers should get rid of him asap. Is it tampering if another GM were to ask they Oilers to try him on the wing?

I was going to sit down and see how many players NHL careers ended with the Oilers. The truth would've been to painful I think.

How many players had NHL careers with the Oilers who would have never made a team with a decent roster or would have been at best injury fill ins?

True that, I believe at one point Liam Reddox and JFQ were on our top line.

Players who would have never had a chance to make the NHL were given opportunities during our darkest times, I wonder if they are appreciative of that lol

Yeah totally forgot about Larsen. You are right though, if other teams see that we tried him on offence it could portray that he is done as a dman, and only way to salvage him is on Forward.

Ugh.

After watching that, it's making me despise The Jultz all over again, like a fresh wave of hatred washing over me. :rant:

The only one I could perhaps give him a pass on was the SJ goal where it looked like he *might* have been hauled down.

The other GIFs make me want to attack him with a baseball bat.

I remember that Charlie Huddy Sucks montage video from a few years bad. The one with Bad by MJ playing.

We need that for Schultz
