Can't we stop talking about this Hamilton trade already? Jesus christ.
Good idea. Its very depressing.
Here's hoping the Oilers upgrade their D this week.

Hamilton 5.75 x 6.
**** OFF.
Where does Semin sign now?

A player as smart, fast and skilled as McDavid will have very limited growing pains and at worst will look like Taylor hallUntil we actually see what he does in the NHL, I'm not banking on him having that kind of impact. And even if he does get into the top 10 of scoring, he's still a rookie and there will all kinds of growing pains in other aspects of the game.
Again, I'm confident McDavid will become an impact player. However, for this Oilers team, if I could choose between McDavid or Hamilton for only 1 year, I'd take Hamilton. Long term, totally different story.

Not necessarily okay, but Sather will always have Edmonton as a home. You have to love a guy who, no matter the longevity of his current engagement with another franchise still shows favoritism to his old club.
What'a'guy.
Pittsburgh needs scoring wingers. Maybe they take a flyer?
For a generational talent it is.I hope you're right... but going from junior to the NHL is no easy task.

Imo nurse is probably aa better skater than anyone we could get in fa and likely nastier too.
It's possible he could be sheltered and still develop in the nhl. It might be the best thing for the team, imo. As for reinhart he could be versatile enough to play anywhere.
I assume the plan is to push reinhart and nurse to take jobs from ference and Nikitin but to play the latter unless they really cost the team games.
I predict by february
Klefbom-schultz/trade
Reinhart_fayne
Nurse-gryba

At what point do we worry about actually fielding a complete (or complete as can be) team rather than having an albatross contract?
We've waited for the 'right defensemen' for years and its lead us nowhere. We can't field a green D and waste the first year of McDavid's ELC.
If that's the lineup next season then I'll be happy to make the Fire Chia thread
Calgary
Only if the Oilers are interested of course

It's so wierd for them to always be mentioned going for the same player as us.
Like a annoying little brother that wants exactly what big bro wants.
Like they were even trades talks for Mike Richards! Granted im not really sure why
the oilers wanted richards but why would calgary want him and with that salary?
