Okay so you move your most valuable prospect, Pulju who is a solid middle 6 guy with lots of potential + for a second pairing guy. That’s abysmal.
Jesse is our most valuable prospect? After playing pro for 5 years? Uhhh.

Ok. My misunderstanding, and my bad (CycloneSweep was referring to Broby). This made me giggle though, so I'm leaving it up.

I posted on page 2 of the GDT that sometimes these tweener game are fun.

This was not one of those games.

Time to start trimming the roster.

Lovely to see good old dinger has nothing better to do with his evening than troll through the Oilers GDT.

Have to think that this is Rodrigue's final camp in Edmonton. Hard to see him getting much time in Bakersfield behind Pickard and Fanti. And it's pretty easy to see Point winning the starter's job in the ECHL.

I think he is referring to broberg.

And yeah I would move them. In my mind broberg probably doesn't become better than chycrun, and if he does, not for a couple seasons.

Oilers need to win now.
What better defenseman could they aquire with that package?

Cut Virtanen. He's got nothing left in the tank.
He hasn't shown enough to stick around, no. Benson has however. Janmark didn't have a good game either. Ryan had an ok game, but got pasted a few times. Hamblin continues to impress, as does Wanner and Nemo. Broberg had a so so game.

I forgot how much people over react about preseason. NHL regulars don’t show up for preseason really.
The guys you want to show up and need to show up are guys who are FIGHTING for roster spots not guys who are trying to figure out which top 3 lines they will play in, especially when their linemates aren’t even there. How Pulju or Yamamoto play with 4th liners and AHL guys doesn’t say a lick about how they fit in our top 6.

Jesse is our most valuable prospect? After playing pro for 5 years? Uhhh.
reading comprehension is important! Our most important prospect COMMA Pulju. Two separate things.

The team didn’t actually play too badly, but considering they had 1 top 9 forward, 0 top 4 defencemen, and their third and fourth string goalie, this was a scheduled loss. I like what that Peters kid has been bringing to the table, I’d like to see him get another game.

You mean Petrov? The Kraken pxp guy kept calling him Peters for some reason.

He didn’t show a ton last game and tonight he wasn’t there. I’d cut him some slack tonight as it was a back to back for him, but he didn’t do enough last night.

Where as Benson is playing like he wants a job
