Prospect Info: MacT thinks he has more picks (UPDATE 2/16/15 Stauffer Says That We have Two 3rds)

[McOilers4cup]

I'm going to apologize to MacT as this condition wasn't made public from what I understand and I criticized Craig MacTavish for what I assumed was a mistake in this thread. I'm sorry Craig for any comments that were offending in nature.

Also, we have another 3rd rounder, WOOOOOOO!!!!!

Not to mention that the pick is 4 or 5 slots better then the 4th round Pick

 

[TheGuyInTheChair]

Maybe we're actually in a playoff spot we just don't know it yet!

 

[ChaoticOrange]

The way this team drafts we may as well wipe our ***** with it for all the good it'll come to.

The most successful 3rd round pick in the entire history of the organization is Mike Comrie. 2nd most? Tom Poti.

I rest my case.

I excluded the obvious Moose but back then 48th overall was in the 3rd round.

 

[TheBrew]

That was a fun thread to read. Haha Egg meet Face

 

[Tw0Shoes]

Does that mean we get Weber?

No one else has appreciated this gem.
First thing I've actually laughed out loud to in a long time.
Thanks!

Wow this chamber is echo-y.

So, this entire thread was basically "Dummy, doesn't know draft picks, derp", when in fact he was correct about his total amount of picks. The rest of his tenure is what it is, but it's stupid and disenguenous to act as if you were in the right in the "Derp, doesn't count picks, derp", when the GM had it correct, ALL ALONG.

He's still derpy, derp.

 

[Digger12]

Stauffer tried to explain this, apparently there was a stipulation in the initial Perron trade that if the Blues finished above the Oilers by "a certain amount" in the standings, the Oilers would get the Blues '15 3rd and the Blues would get the '15 4th pick of the Oilers.

It was something like that, at any rate.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He's still derpy, derp.

Mac-T? No question, the echo chamber just gets to be a bit much, plus there are valid reasons to not like him without having to jump on misunderstood things. You (the posters) made a mistake, He (Mac-T) was right, probably time to get over that.

 

[oilerbear]

inb4 nikitin is traded for a 3rd and he is the best GM in the league

1st comp:
14-15
Nikitin - Fayne 2.21 EVGA/60 with .890 Fasth and Scrivens
12-13
Smid-Petry 2.24 EVga/60 with .920 Dubnyk
11-12
Smid-Petry 2.63 EVGA/60 with .914 Dubnyk

Might want to look at facts before you speak out your.......................

This is an interesting hedge for someone who seemed VERY confident at the start of his tenure as General Manager. I'd be curious to know what the terms actually are. For interest's sake last season the Blue finished 10 spots and 44 points ahead of the Oilers.

There is going to be very little difference in the end..

We will pick 80something instead of 90something

I was over that the day after it was brought out. I didn't even know it was newsworthy until it was brought to the forefront. I haven't back to check all my posts but I'm pretty sure that everything I have stated lends itself to the idea that he is a terrible GM. Would it surprise me for him to make this kind of mistake? Not at all. Does he deserve a cookie for knowing how many picks he has? I don't think so.

Wanna move on to other things that MacT has gotten wrong or reasons why he should be fired? I'm all for that.

 

[BarDownBobo]

So, pencil Vladdy Tkachev into that spot??

There are plenty of spots in the this echo chamber where you can find that.

 

[Beerfish]

I'll gladly trumpet that I am wrong and apologize as soon as mact or lowe do the same for any of about 50 things over the last 12-13 years.

You earn cred and you earn a skeptical eye and this front office has earned the fact that no matter what they do their moves will be assumed to be screw ups.

This type of attitude is what (IMO) some posters take a little exception to.

It's fine to bash MacT for the mistakes he's made, but for the sake of a level playing field, maybe some of the good things he's done should be discussed as well.

I think his biggest mistake was the Eakins hiring and the waiting to fire his sorry ass. And his mistakes so far out weigh the good things he's done.

But he HAS done a few good things.

Maybe we're actually in a playoff spot we just don't know it yet!

Ha ha ha not bad

This announcement would make everything better.

When do you think it's coming?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I'd be fine with that unless a couple of really good players fell to that spot.

I love Vladdy, just like most of us do, but he isn't exactly lighting the world on fire this year.

Still take him but 3rd round might be a stretch.

Probably because he doesnt have to. I'm sure theres been a handshake agreement that the Oilers are going to draft him at some point.

and you need to actually watch games before spiting out numbers every post
the reason Fasth/Scrivens had such poor save percentage was due to all the grade A scoring chances given up by Nikitin...he was slow and horrible

If you have two 3rd rounders and he is there you take him. He has as good a chance as any of making it and statistically there is very little difference between a late 3rd and a 6th rounder in terms of producing NHL players.
