The Oilers cannot score when McDavid isn't involved

[PromisedLand]

I still remember the draft and the reaction after being pick #1 overall

wonder if he still feels that way............

 

[PromisedLand]

He’s going to ask for a trade soon.

Nylander for McDavid.... lmao the chia special coming right up

Edmonton has to retain 40%

 

[Section88]

Was it the Oilers who traded the barzal pick for Griffin reinhart? Or am i misremembering

 

[Freudian]

Relax. Lucic is 40% faster this year.

Chiarelli wouldn't value Nylander.

He'd ask for Brown++

 

[WilliamNylander]

Keep McDavid trade Nurse, Poolparty, RNH for picks and do a quick 3 year rebuild.

 

[780il]

Yeah, our team sucks. We know, and until we can get someone competent as a gm/head coach its gonna stay that way.

 

[Brobust]

part of the problem is the gap in games played, cant get a groove, i think once they string some games, the oilers will get more consistent. But they still need better players.

Devils just blew out the Caps.

 

[Halla]

they just plain Mcsuck the 35 mins/game Mcjesus isnt on the ice

team >>> 1 player

 

[PromisedLand]

A bad gm who doesn’t know how to put a team together and a coach who doesn’t know how to use what he’s got.

To be honest I think oilers missed a boat while rebuilding; they never had good vets to mentor the kids IMO

 

[Cellee]

Its ****ing Todd McLellan.

Ah yes, the easy target.

Devils just blew out the Caps.

the other argument would be rest helps, but generally playing gets you into a groove, devils are a nice exception. Check out the various teams record post by week you will be surprised.

Oilers banked their entire season on Ty Rattie to be a top winger...once the fans figure out that the management group and local media hoodwinked them... The jersey's will start to fall back onto the ice

Hall trade is one of the reasons Oilers cant score, and it's a pretty big deal. Hall won the MVP on a team that doesn't have McDavid, imagine what he would do with McDavid

The best use of them would have been to have each drive their own line. That's actually what they did the season they were togeather.

Your argument would have more merit if they actually played well in their season opener. They were brutal in Sweden.

Yeah, I'd definitely have Hall on the 2nd line and put him with McDavid on 1st PP unit

 

[The Burdened]

lowkey what did Oiler fans do to deserve this?

The fact that Vancouver looks like they're getting their shit together before Edmonton is troubling.

 

[bukwas]

I only watched tonight during another games intermissions but i noticed a similar lack of drive from many players like last season.
That gets old in a hurry.

NOPE THAT WAS CERTAINLY US. We traded the 16th AND 33rd pick for 2 points in 30 games

 

[Foppberg]

It’s been 2 games let’s give this one some time boys

More like over a decade.

 

[BudBundy]

Stop kicking us when we are down. Its been a generation of suck and we kept supporting this tire fire. No hockey fans deserve this level of punishment. None.

 

[Varan]

Send him to Washington lmao

Sure, but playing games spread out is not helping.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Three major moves:

- Traded Hall
- Traded Eberle
- Signed Lucic
