Too bad us fans can see these moves happening weeks before management does. It's like facing a 5 year old in a chess game

Awesome. Still doesnt explain why they played him so damn much. He's played nearly 100 ev minutes and 0 goals scored by him or his teammates. Bruutal.

No ****, eh?

Every single one of us peasants knew that it was a bad idea to have Hunt in for Marincin and it took them 5 games to realize what we already knew and called Marincin up finally then Nikitin gets injured and instead of calling Klefbom up which all of us knew was the right move, here's freaking Toby Pete.... err i mean Brad ****ing Hunt again. Hunt alone might have cost the Oilers the last 2 games, not kidding.

Maybe we should all pitch in and run this organization. Hell, we couldn't do any worse than these clowns have.

Thank god the Brad Hunt experiment is over. He definitely does not have all the tools to be successful in the NHL.

Took long enough. Gotta assume Ference isn't being suspended

The stupidity of the oilers upper management astounds me. They should write a book called "how to ruin an organization for dummies". I wish we had a group of owners who are fans of the team like us and truly want to win. Instead, we have an owner who doesn't give a rats ass about what happens on the ice. He just wants to make piles of money and have pizza parties with his old oilers friends (Lowe et al)

Maybe keeping Hunt was just so Kelfbom can get his legs and game up to speed. Also, maybe just to check if he can develop an offensive game

Yeah I don't really have an issue with Hunt being here are a 6/7 if he's playing 15 minutes a night (or less). Give him the PP time and shelter him harder than you shelter Leon Draisaitl.

Of course that's not how he was used and you could see the results.

It's amazing how us common folk know how to manage who should and shouldn't be on the team better than the team's management.

Joke of an organization.

This also likely means that Nikitin is a bit more hurt then they had hoped, possibly. Good move though.

Either that or a move is coming.

This is news?

15K people at Recall in a draft chanting "Doan, Doan, Doan, Doan Doan"

Oilers pick Steve Kelly.

Org has been a joke since.

That was the quintessential any fan knows better moment.

The org just keeps reminding us.

Goodbye Brad. I'll always remember that time two days ago when you showed up on my front step dressed as a pylon.

IS there a trade coming? With Nikitin on the IR, we only have 6 healthy defensemen, right? Slava Voynov maybe? At least he beats something. ( allegedly) And Ferrence may be suspended. Why send Hunt down without knowing if Ferrence will miss games too?
