Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
What a fucking joke, rewarding incompetence with McDavid. 4th first overall pick in last 6 drafts, the other two were a 3rd and a 7th. Way to go Edmonton, you reeeeeeeeally deserve another 1st overall. Worst outcome possible. What's worse is their 2nd pick is higher than our first not to mention our best players are in their mid 30's. Whoa is me

Pretty much the worst outcome, yeah. Buffalo would have been great for us. McDavid could've terrorized the leaves for years and obviously won't have been out west.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I'm really happy for Edmonton. They've won 4 Stanley Cups, or is it 5? We have None, and we've been in the league longer and we've never tanked.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Throw in Nurse, McDavid, Draisaitl and Pittsburghs 1st overall, I wonder if the Oilers 4th rebuild in a row is over yet

Yes.The kid did not look thrilled at all and it is really possible there may be another Lindros situation here. I sure hope so. To see those jerks get the most talented player in years really hurts. They have got to get D and a goalie so if Mactavish is smart he may parlay this luck into some real talent on the back end. They have the cap room. The only question is does he want to be known as the man who traded McDavid, so I think not. They will just score a couple more a game and continue to lead the NHL in goals given up and back-end ineptitude.rats19 wrote:Is it possible they can screw this up?RoyalDude wrote:Throw in Nurse, McDavid, Draisaitl and Pittsburghs 1st overall, I wonder if the Oilers 4th rebuild in a row is over yet
I call upon all the hockey spirits to make them trade him. They do not deserve him. He is the real deal, but without back-up talent he could end up like Crosby, the man he mostly compared to, and struggle to make the playoffs.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
They have Hall, RNH, Eberle, Yakapov, Daraisatl at forward and the Pens 1st pick which is in mid teens to trade for help on D or in goal, they also have Nurse coming on defencedamonberryman wrote:Yes.The kid did not look thrilled at all and it is really possible there may be another Lindros situation here.

They could trade with Buffalo and take the Big D. Get Kane or take their goalie.damonberryman wrote:Yes.The kid did not look thrilled at all and it is really possible there may be another Lindros situation here. I sure hope so.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I guess if Pittsburgh can have Lemieux and Crosby in the same lifetime I guess it's only fair Edmonton should get Gretzky and Mcdavid...
Hopefully the cap, free agency and Kevin Lowe will conspire against any real success

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I agree, they deserve their 4th first overall in last 6 drafts, they deserve the next superstar to help them win more Cups. It's been far too long since the Cups Gretzky and Messiet won themukcanuck wrote:I guess if Pittsburgh can have Lemieux and Crosby in the same lifetime I guess it's only fair Edmonton should get Gretzky and Mcdavid...
