Only thing I can think of is that Regier was kept on to trade Vanek and then let go afterwards. I'd like to bring in Regier as a special consultant ^^ but that's not really feasible.

Thank you, sweet rabbit
Vanek could've arguably been considered the biggest asset, but you still have upcoming UFA's like Miller and Moulson that could fetch a handsome return as well. Something had to have happened behind the scenes for Pegula to make this decision at this time.

Really horrible news about Stamkos. Great player in our game and hate to see that happen, hope he still comes back this year.
Not surprised Rolston got canned, I'm usually never a fan of firing a coach after less then one year like Edmonton stupidly firing Krueger, but Rolston really seemed to have no grip on his team. Regier sure cashed in on trades, but he really struggled in FA and developing players.
Still, I'd be shocked if Regier doesn't get a job again somewhere.

Look, I know we're all pretty pissed about what happened in the game tonight but can we at least put our anger aside for a brief moment and laugh at Edmonton some more? They just got shutout for the 3rd straight home game tonight against the Stars.
I should feel bad for Nick Schultz, but I don't. Can't explain why. Those Oilers' fans shouldn't have been so cocky about stacking up all the "talent" in the way that they did. Makes them look pretty silly right about now. I think Yakupov is going to be chased out of town sooner rather than later. Fans already turning on him.

I'd hate to go there... but in the two preceding games they only managed to score once in each game, making it 2 goals in their last 5 home games. Their home record is 1-6, and the lone win was in a shootout. But in all fairness, their schedule has been heavily slated towards road games thus far.
The Oilers are a mess. I do think they took steps in the right direction in the offseason with the Perron trade and signing Ference, but those moves were not enough. They need more than just Ference when it comes to veteran leadership. They have been an obnoxious young team with basically no strong veteran presence and this problem has yet to be fixed. They are probably going to get rid of Yakupov at some point, but I actually think trading one of Hall, RNH and Eberle would have a better long-term effect. Those three have seemed to have their own little club. Ironically enough the Wild have several players for whom the Oilers should be willing to sell the farm for.

We have no room for him and he won't be better than Coyle or Nino. Third line, maybe, but he'd be more useful in a top six role.
A Minnesotan playing elsewhere that would be a cool addition would be someone like, oh I don't know, Ryan McDonagh?
too much to get him. i was factoring in price in my list because while yeah, i'd LOVE to get a lambo a M3 is feasible.
But "he won't be better than Coyle or Nino" is not a fact, when Nelson's rookie year is already (slightly) above Coyles in terms of PPG
edit: also like Coyle, a C who can play wing.
right now with a bigger sample size Coyle is safest. Nino has the highest ceiling. But Nelson could be a happy medium between the two.
Aaron Ness from Roseau, MN with his first NHL goal tonight!
My girlfriend, a former Roseau native herself, just had a minor freak-out after I told her

Speaking of teams in our division shellacking teams...
STL 7-3 over COL
DAL 7-3 over CGY
On the brightside though, I was some 30 points behind my matchup in fantasy tonight, but I have Seguin, St. Louis and Filppula on my team. Now I'm 25 points above.
Thanks Seguin lol
