Should be bringing up a bunch of kids. Give them a taste and let them experience the NHL. Shows them how hard they must work.

Yeah, but how are the Oilers going to convince a real NHL team to help their prospects like that?

Ludicrous speed, GO!
Lord help this roster if it's both of Hall and Pouliot out.

Rebooting myself
I'm really hoping that this is actually a sign that Fraser is going to sit a few games, since he's been relatively underwhelming after a hot start and Pakarinen has played well with Lander (I believe they were on a line?) before.
Of course, by now we should expect the worst, and we've probably wound up losing both Hall and Pouliot for the season
No the roster would be...
Yakupov - RNH - Eberle
Pakarainen -Roy - Purcell
Fraser -Lander - Gazdic
Hendricks - Gordon - Klinkhammer

he wasn't bad. Fraser will have his work cut out for him if Iiro keeps the pace up.
Any word on Nikitin? Who gets called up on defense? Marincin's stats have been lousy.

Marincin was the Oilers best defenseman at the end of last season. I don't care how lousy he's been in the AHL, get him up here especially with Nelson coaching. The way they've handled him is pathetic.

I wouldn't mind calling up Marincin just to pull him away from the Barons. Things aren't working for him there. Klefbom struggled for the Barons too. Marincin can be the 7th D for the Oil and can practice with the team. I swear there's something going on with Marincin that we don't know about, and the people in charge don't want to talk about it.

I would agree with you if Marincin were doing better with the Barons. If management were just stupid and were making the wrong call, wouldn't Marincin go down there and tear up the AHL and force his way back up here?

and again...
I said very early in the season that Pakarinen would be a full time member of the Oilers by the end of the season... sticking to that prediction.
He's exactly what this roster is lacking... a player that is good at all aspects of the game... has a decent shot... plus he has decent speed and size.
I know some will obviously say... wait until we see what he does before we anoint him as a permanent contributing member of the roster... but I'm very confident he'll step right in and be one of the best all around players on the team.
I guarantee within a few games we'll be asking ourselves why this player wasn't in the lineup much earlier.

That's great to hear considering that it seems every article seems to bash him in some way. I actually googled what you said and found an interview. I guess he's getting better.

Re-defining Rock Bottom since '07
Pakarinen new first line winger?
Pouliot stays on second?
It was so much funner to predict the lines when Eakins was here.
