What will be management's next reluctant move?

[Up the Irons]

Who knows. Hopefully Katz is as sick as we all are and steps in to finally clean house. I know one thing: these clowns from Lowe on down need to be elsewhere when McDavid is drafted. If they're still here, we're at risk of ruining a generational talent. Painfully obvious that these guys can't build a team. McDavid lands here, these guys are going to think their saviour has arrived and they're going to sit back and wait for wins

If they're still here on draft day, Mcdavid might not come here, and Eichel definitely won't.

Someone needs to fall on their sword for this travesty.

I doubt that.

 

[flashy]

Fire Mact and replace him with Eakins.

No interviews.

Fire Lowe and replace him with Mact.

No interviews.

Hire Lowe as HC.

No interviews.

Draft McDavid, hike ticket prices ten percent and beer prices thirty percent.

Profit.

and the world keeps on spinning

 

[Up the Irons]

I doubt that.

Really? Do explain.

 

[Captain Catatomic]

Sign UFA Horcoff

 

[I am the Liquor]

Really? Do explain.

McDavid went to Erie the Edmonton of the OHL, in an age where top picks are flat out telling teams they wont report.

Perhaps it's you that has some splainin to do.

 

[monkeywrench]

My guess is they're going to start classifying some of us fans, as tier 3 fans... It's bold!

Connor says he despises players that refuse to report to where they're drafted so he'd come for sure, but the NHL will not allow the Oilers to win another draft lottery, especially not this year's.

Arizona will win the lottery IMO. They need to secure an owner, NHL will make it happen.

Eichel said he would come too, but who knows. Maybe he would waver.

 

[White Water Kayker]

McDavid knows he only needs to play out his rookie deal and then can move on - all by legal drinking age in the US...

genuinely wanted poster to expand on why.

thank you. And it will be interesting if 'zona wins the lottery which i do believe the league has set up in the past. (Probably only once, but no one is gonna convince me the Crosby lottery was random. Too perfect).

Our 3 consecutive first overall picks when Katz was negotiating the arena deal was convenient too.

 

[Up the Irons]

Trade for Roy. Draisailt traded to Kelowna (probably going to be sent back to Jr)

Looks like we didn't have to wait long for managment's next reluctant move, did we.

We told you so.

 

[Mr Sakich]

i think they claim paajarvi. they tell him he has one last shot at being an nhl player. to keep a job, he has to be more physical.

if he had any sort of edge, he is a legit player

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

They'll give Yakupov away for nothing in a last ditch effort to save their jobs.

I think this is what will happen as well. It's going to be a complete waste of a 1st overall pick.

 

[thadd]

What they should do? Trade Eberle.

What they would most likely do?

1) Trade Purcell with 1/2 salary retained.
2) Trade Nikitin with 1/2 salary retained.
3) Trade Perron
4) Roll the dice on a fringe NHL player via giving up a 6th or 7th rounder
5) Trade a 3rd rounder for a young fringe 3rd line center.

 

[Captain Catatomic]

not really a total waste. im sure all the beer cups were recycled that season.
