Dizzle Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, stawns said: Why? They made their move with EL and they'll gain much needed playoff experience. Go in with this lineup, keep your top prospects, go as far as you can and re-callibrate in the off season. There are varying degrees of succes, it's not a binary all or nothing situation Maybe they see things differently than you? To be fair... you've been expecting the team to fall off a cliff all season; maybe they're better than you think they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilers are effectively a 1 man team - they have other pieces but its all McD. Avs are a formidable opponent I agree but the Canucks depth could be better with a guy like Toffoli. No ones saying it would be easy but those teams are looking at us as a formidable opponent aswell. And I don't think so. I think the AVS, jets and oilers are all better teams than can. The oilers are not a one man team. I think the Oilers or Avs win it all this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To move on from kuz To help down the middle To keep him out of the west Insurance policy if Petey didn't sign lol enough with the insurance policy if ep doesn't sign crap.. he turned down 9mil from calgary.. if they signed lindholm for 9mil as an insurance policy? PA an JR should be fired.. the guy is on a steep offensive decline for like 2 years in a row since MT and JG abandoned him you just said why bother trading asset and future for 1 or 2 round.. is the 1st and hunter and the 4th etc not an asset you can use in the future when we are legitimate cup contender?

Not having Nuke/Landeskog are massive holes that haven't been filled from their cup team. Mittelstadt is good but has never played in the playoffs himself & they subtraced from their defensive depth to add him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So something would have to be done to sign Phil or to bring someone else in. He'd just displace one of PDG/Aman or you send Podkolzin down.

Dizzle Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, stawns said: I'm just likely to be right as you are The difference is that I was in agreement with you at the start of the season.. other than the post allstar blip - which is starting to look to be just that - they've continually shown themselves to be better than the wildcard(ish) team many of us thought they were. It's going to be real tuff to come out of the west this year... they've shown they can play with every single one of these teams though so why in the world would you just cave and say, 'maybe next year'? By all means... if the price is too high, than stand pat, but at the same time this team has earned the right to be supported in competing as much as is possible/reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFaithfulcap Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I'm going to try and stop tdl watching for a few. Wonder what we'll do. Insane level: crosby for lind/1sts/mik Medium level: 1st + raty or dpetey for toff Eberle for future 2nd Greenway for future 2nd and 4th Low level: Kessel Sillinger for 3rd Do nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I cant imagine us making a deal. Prices are sky high, and we have already made our big bold moves in Zadorov and Lindholm. Also made early season additions with DeSmith, Lafferty and Friedman. Additionally having a healthy Soucy comeback recently and hoping for Joshua and Myers coming back healthy - those might be our deadline additions. I fully expect a quiet day for us. Let the team gel and develop chemistry and we are starting to see that now. Dont mess anymore witht he team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
