Post-Game Talk: Make Edmonton Great Again (MEGA)

[KidLine93]

But Manning and Petro...

neither of them have been good but its not like they are costing us games, were getting blown out. I don't even know how to fix the mess that Chia has made, and it was present before we brought those two in. Even on our winning streak where koskinen was playing lights out we were not carrying the play. The only guy in edmonton who has had a longer leash than lucic is chiarelli

 

[Magnum23]

I feel bad for the guy. He seems like a guy with some pride. He’s a shell of his bruins self. Seriously when’s the last time Lucic got fired up like that handshake line. I honestly believe he’s devastated that things have gone this way

I agree - over time I have grown to forget about the contract and put the blame on Chia for offering that type of money.

I actually want to see Lucic do well - seems like he still cares a lot but his skill set/speed just isn’t there anymore to help him dominate in today’s game.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Alright chia after this loss what other healthy scratch overpaid Dman are you going to get?

Seabrook for RNH.

 

[foshizzle]

If I was Hitch I would load up the first line. All the other lines play the trap hardcore. Lines 2-4 are not allowed to make any passes in the offensive zone- they cross the line and have to shoot with the other 2 forwards crashing the net hard. Hope for a scoring chance or a whistle so the big boys can come on.

 

[Magnum23]

Do they make 6M each for the next 4 years?

No they don’t but the contract isn’t really his fault - who says no to $$?

 

[oobga]

I feel like we are legit killing McDavid's will now. He does not look like himself out there. What this management group, from katz on down, is doing is seriously criminal.

Honestly at 2-2.5/3 million id love what Looch brings

 

[Del Preston]

Basically the same story as us tonight. Except they probably played better.

Ripped this from the mains.

They're gonna shit on the Oilers next game.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Theo Peckham would be top 4 on this roster

Teddy Peckman!! I hope he’s doing well.

Fully agree. That tenaciousness isn’t there anymore. He rarely puts it into 6th gear like we are used to seeing (although that maybe due to the 5 guys that are hooking and holding him)

 

[space321]

more $$ more problems, more $$ is why he is scrutinized

 

[thadd]

Still can't wrap my head around this trade.

But I guess it's karma for getting away with this.

 

[McDrailers]

Teddy Peckman!! I hope he’s doing well.

I’d take Ryan Whitney too. At least his podcast is funny

 

[CycloneSweep]

Still can't wrap my head around this trade.

Strome, Caggiula, Garrison 3rd, 6th

Salary’s excluded this is trading a half empty bottle for a half full one lol

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

At least we know what the Oilers will be doing in April...

 

[MinisterOfSinister]

Over a decade of sucking hind teet, and outside of fluking into McDavid this franchise has sweet. f***. All. To show for itself moving forward.
I'm all out of care.

 

[oil4life97]

Seabrook for RNH.

Don’t give chia any more sexy ideas!

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

He was a god when he was healthy...

Great work.

 

[CycloneSweep]

We moved out 5.25 and brought in 7.3
We paid a 3rd and a 6th, added 2.05 mill in cap and made the team worse in the process.

 

[Jumptheshark]

YES U CAN AND YES U WILL

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

kind of...."hopeful trades"

but why on earth do you have to give up anything to trade players who are playing well/playing roles for players that are struggling to get ice time.

should you even do that in the first place let alone add to that?

That takes talent. A generational talent.

And take on more cap. Our cap is in a worse position, we sent away 2 picks and the team is worse after all the trades than before.

It has to be intentional right?
