ROFL Toronto lost Pickard and Curtis McElhinney on waivers. Guess they only got Sparks to fill in that role now hahaha.

Vegas won't win the division again but they could very easily compete in a mediocre division like this one.

Who'd they go too?

Edit: Disregard, I got my lazy ass fingers to do the work. Carolina for CM and Philly got CP.

 

[Paralyzer]

Toronto will be desperate for a goalie now. Wonder if Chia makes a phone call to them about Montoya? Montoya for a 5th?

Well if anyone looks at his Yahoo Fantasy draft we should probably get a 1st and a decent player

Chia played it well with Montoya.

Apparently they sent Starrett overseas because Montoya is expecting a baby in the family... that's what McLellan said in one of the pre/post game interviews that I listened to... so the Oilers may indeed have been a little lucky sending Montoya down early and not having him picked off waivers.

That also helps with the whole "we are screwing him over" theory.

 

[GodPucker]

Even TSN was talking down the Oilers coaching staff tonight. Talking about how they look like they haven't changed the PP and Pk and have all lefties, etc.

No way Rangers trade away a cornerstone player like Montoya, especially for a 5th.

What do you mean?

TSN predicts the Oilers to finish 4th in the Pacific and make the playoffs as the second Wild Card.

Works for me


As long as we're in it I can stay invested

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

TMac says that he believes Khaira, Larsson and Russell should play in the opener.

None of them will play today though.

Toronto sports network what do expect.

That network will be 99% leafs this year and 1% running down other Canadian teams

Probably about right depending how the other teams perform.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

I'm not a big believer in Oilersfan1991 on twitter, but I find while many rumor mongers while wrong about trades, not many bother to lie about illness stuff. Just wondering if anyone else heard Caggiula was ill through most of the pre-season.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

YES IT'S FINALLY OVER! BRING ON THE REGULAR SEASON!

Yes...I heard it mentioned a few times over the course of the past few weeks. I was bouncing back and forth between radio programs so cant recall specifically who reported it but I know I heard it more than once.

Yeah, McLellan mentioned it specifically in one of his recent pressers...said something about Caggiula was just now getting back to good health.

Thought I heard right from the team he had been battling a sinus infection. However, every pre-season there's been some kind of excuse for him.

Those suck, they affect your breathing big time. And you get to shoot snot rockets all day long.

Fighting one myself right now. Affects breathing, and when the pressure starts pushing on your ear drums makes you feel like you are losing your mind.

That's probably the if everything goes right prediction right now. I see us missing the playoffs this year and squeezing in next year with a new head coach.

To flip the switch and play optimist, I disagree. If literally everything goes right from here on out we're Pacific division Champs or close behind the Sharks. That of course means absolutely everything, like Klef looking like 16-17 Klef, Nurse, Pulju, Yamamoto, Khaira etc all taking steps forward and our power play getting fixed. But if that somehow happens this team is a legit contender, much like 16-17.
