This was from Rick Nash's return to Columbus

from the CBJ broadcast

Nevermind, I had javascript disabled. Was just showing the first frame (no animation) which didn't have anything funny or remarkable in it.

:drunk:

And I thought it was bad in Vancouver, lulz @ Edmonton.

wonder if you can blaze in the stadium since its legal in Colorado :high:

LOL. probably just with a vape indoors? i can't wait to make my first legal purchase in colorado!!! :alonehappy: i should be posting in the other thread ahaha

That Edmonton vs. Calgary game yesterday was ridiculous!

I don't even think you can use a vape indoors can you? I mean, you can't vape tobacco indoors can you?

So what did all those high draft picks do for Edmonton? Looks like they move up a spot and get to finish possibly 2nd to last instead of last :facepalm:

Just a brief history what picks they had in the last 7 years.

2013 - 7th pick
2012 - 1st pick
2011 - 1st pick (Also 19th pick)
2010 - 1st pick
2009 - 10th pick
2008 - 22th pick
2007 - 6th pick (Also 15 & 21st pick)

Which ended up being these guys.

Jordan Eberle
Magnus Paajarvi
Taylor Hall
RGH
Oscar Klefbom
Nail Yakupov
Darnell Nurse
Sam Gagner
Alex Plante
Riley Nash

Look, I know it isn't easy to build a winner but this is pretty ugly. Under normal circumstances you would see a team make an improvement each year wouldn't you? Even if it's a slow one? I have yet to see much of a difference. If I was a fan I'd be pretty pissed as well.

Oilers fans might as well suicide if they don't draft Ekbald

i see people do it anyway :accepted:

The oilers issues begin with Management. I've said it many times, their 1980 Alumni needs to stop running the show

Players like Hall, RNH, Eberle, Yakupov, Gagner, are all getting free passes to suck because they're promising young players.

Time top break up this core, starting off with gagner and then eberle

They definitely need to move at least 2 of those young pieces to pick up some defensive help.

Problem with their young players is that Gagner is making $5 mill ad produces 33 points. Yakupov is a complete wreck with roughly the same amount of points and leads the league in worst +/-. No GM in their right mind would make a "fair" trade with the oilers for those two players, even though they're both the most disposable of the group.

Eberle is probably going to fetch the best return and they're probably have to part with him.

:derp:- "What if the oilers were smart and drafted these with their 1st overall picks?"

Seguin
Landeskog
Murray

Josi?

I think Hall is their best bet if they're looking to unload one of them. He can slot in at centre or the wing.

Oilers management wanted Murray but the owner jumped in and vetoed it and had them pick Yakupov.

I don't even think Murray could save the Oilers lol


Guy has been unlucky with injuries

The only way to save the Oilers is to bring in new management and a brand new mentality to this core

I don't think blowing up this team is going to do much if the management has this retarded thinking

I wonder if we can trade Edler for any one of theses kids.........

if they wanted cory, its possible

Oilers are sorta fucked. Even a 1st line star player is not worth a #1 D or a top pairing.

The return will be a shit load doe, similar to these

A Schneider trade to EDM made so much sense at the time, but the whole "don't wanna trade within division" mentality ruined it. From a hockey perspective, it was the perfect team to trade with

Canucks were forced to trade Bure. There's no comparison there

Oilers also didn't want to pay the piper.

Which is why they're a bottom feeding team. No matter how good your team is, you ALWAYS need a good goalie.
