Tanking is ruthless, it's like a shark smelling blood in the water, once you smell it (Top pick) you do whatever or say whatever in this case to get it.

Congratulations you not only made up stats but you also picked the outlier that will likely prove you oh so wrong sooner rather than later.

As an edmonton oilers fan, i don't know if this is the right way to go. When do you draw the line where the rebuild has gone far too long? As you can see, the players have now develop a loser attitude in the dressing room, which is still hard to get rid of even with competent coaching.

They are about 1000x more likely to become the Blackhawks than we are fyi

Double down! Jimson says we're on the right track and we'll be more successful with our young core going forward than the Oilers young core!

The Oilers young core will want out of Edmonton before they win all those cups.
So weird, there has been a group of Canucks fans who- for the past few years have just been envious of that Oilers franchise and always predicts that this next one will be there year!

I didn't know that you knew the young players of the Oilers and what they will want in their future. You have an unfair advantage, therefore there is no point in continuing this off topic debate.

Oh their rebuild has gone on way too long but I'd think that getting McDavid makes the last few years worth it.
Oh I agree. But Biega's actually been our second or third best dman a lot of nights so sending him down on top of Sbisa jumping back in will be a Tanker's dream
I know, but it's hard to dick Biega around considering how he hard he has played to earn that spot.

San Jose have really started to click the last few games, they should push us out.
Just need the Coyotes to keep up their play.
Points percentage wise we're not looking too bad for the tank. Just need one run of losses before the deadline and I think we're set.

Why are you posting in the tank thread? You're the one who was shouting about how great this team was and how they're going in the right direction.
A tank team doesn't trade away picks and be tight against the cap.
Oh for sure, I'm just looking at the silver lining of Sbisa coming back. Honesty it's meant as a compliment of Biega if anything. He's played well but isn't going to take the spot of golden boy Sbisa. Not under Benning or WD's watch.

Watched 3rd period + OT just for fun, plus some highlights.
Basically Oilers pissed away a 3-1 lead, gave Domi a hat trick, failed to scored in OT despite being in Yotes' zone against tired defenders for half a minute, took an incredibly dumb penalty near OT's end and proceed to hand the win to the Yotes on a silver platter.

No doubt about it, I am ready to get hurt again
They had the Coyotes at their mercy, they couldn't even move in the 3 on 3 shift and the Oilers never even hit the net with 2 clear shots from the slot.
Then Hall takes a bad penalty which loses them the game.
That core has gotten so used to losing that they actually may have to start over their rebuild around McDavid. Pathetic team.

McDavid is definitely the man in Edmonton already despite only playing 13 games. When he was in the lineup they were a different team and had a different vibe.
