Not saying they aren't good players. I'm saying they went in the spot they we predicted. I would get your point if Keith reached to get them and the panned out. I think Bruin fans wish he would have taken Connor, Barzal, Chabot and Boesser where they were predicted. Imagine the Bruins now If he did!

No. Not with Dzingel being a UFA this summer, and with him likely wanting to be paid for this years production despite it being uncharacteristic when compared to the rest of his career. Someone is going to overpay Dzingel. With Edmonton's cap situation, I don't think it can be us.

With the exception of Bear they are a dime a dozen depth players that every organization has. Thinking this is good prospect depth is a great reflection of the Oilers organization. It stinks.
Gotta love how Oilers brass buys into Central Scouting. Jesse probably falls into the late teens on draft day if Eddy doesn’t take him.

Benson leads the team in points and is 20
Marody is a PPG player at 22
Jones leads the defenseman in PPG and is 21
Starrett has one of the best save% in the league and is 2nd year as a pro
oh yeah, every one of the players I mentioned are leading Bakersfield to 13 straight wins
these are legit prospects and the development system is light-years better than it was even a year ago
you couldn't be more clueless if you tried
That is just flat wrong and revisionist history. He was widely considered the 3rd best prospect at the draft. In fact, the Jackets brass was torched by the media for passing on him.
20/20 vision, looking back it was the right call, but even if the oilers had passed on him, he would have been in the top 7 or so taken and the fan base that got him would have been talking about the steel of the draft.
I am not an Oilers fan in any way shape or form, but I don’t blame them for taking him at all. Now.... they completely busted up his development and that is fair to take them to task over.

Not sure if anyone else brought this up (I haven’t read through the rest of this thread and apologize if this was already discussed) but i don’t think Nylander loses his waiver exemption net year, does he?
Nylander signed his ELC at 18 but it slid the last 2 season and only kicked in this year. He has either 5 years of waiver eligibility or 165 NHL games played. And he still has 2 years remaining on his ELC
Puljujarvi is in the last year of his ELC already and he’s apporoaching 165 NHL games played, where he will lose his waiver exempt status.
I’m actually not sure if buffalo makes this trade.

Stockton’s top 5 scorers are all 25 years old or more. Tune him out, haha.

The exception of Bear? Benson and Jones and Marody are all better prospects than him. He's just a bigger name. Try to do your research before posting nonsense like that.
I also don't think every team has a rookie in the AHL who is leading the league in assists.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
I want the Jets to give him a chance because I think there's potential they turn his game right around and save his career. Tampa Bay too maybe, but I think the Jets might be the best fit out there for him. The best the Jets could offer is a conditional 2nd and either Petan or Comrie.
Much like Strome, Jesse will go elsewhere and thrive, with a bit of confidence he’s a heck of a player. If the oilers weren’t clueless and left him in the A when he was sent down earlier this year, I’d bet he’d be dominating with a solid squad down there. And we wouldn’t be speculating on this.
I hope he ends up elsewhere and the oilers don’t wait another 2 years till they’ve completely wrecked him, he’s 20, not every player is a stud at 18, I’d bet 3 years for now we’re talking about him as a top 6 forward

Sure. But Strome at that time was producing around the same as Puljujarvi no? Im just trying to get a comparable sense in trade value given age and where both were drafted.

How bout no.
Why would CAR trade a top pairing RD for an 20yr old forward who’s greatly underperformed? EDM can’t afford the huge adds it would take as well.

1 for 1 trade.
Drafted in the same year, only a few picks apart. Jost has the better NHL career, from Alberta, higher IQ, good defensively and plays Centre. Doesn’t have specific elite skills for the fast pace AVs, but hard working and good work ethics. Poolparty with size, elite skills and plays RW which the AVs are weak. Former international teammate of Rants including the Gold Mdeal WJC. Reuniting the players is appealing. Low IQ is the main problem.

I was thinking the same thing. Especially if the Avs end up with another Finn in Kakko this summer.
Sucks because Bakersfield wasn't all that bad 20 years ago. Then Southern California migrated and took over the city.

Dube and mangiapane have been great down there, same with kylington and valimaki. Even then, dube shouldn't be near the roster this year, and mangiapane is borderline useless. Really wish kylington had a better camp, because he's clearly ready at this point, and we burned a year valimaki's elc for nothing. Good for you guys guy having some good prospects, but don't bank on all your guys panning out.
