And Slepyshev? He could not even manage 0.5 pts/game in the AHL last year. He is playing on the second line.

Yup, hockey is weird like that.
Game time 7:00 PM? Puck drop at 7:10 sharp.

Oiler fans on the other board were crowing about how weak the Flames were on the wing.
but with Versteeg, I'd honestly take the Flames wingers over this mess. Even center wise outside of McDavid, its pretty close.
That forth line is just really kindof gross.
Also in a day and age where speed kills. Outside of McDavid and Eberle and JP, that's a really slow group of forwards.

Well to be fair, the only exciting part of an NBA game is the last 5 minutes, so they want to get there pronto.

They're playing Russell on the second pairing... on his off-side. Lol.

This is a tough exercise because the Oiler RW depth is such a mismash but Brouwer, Frolik and Versteeg combined for 109 points last season. Unless Neon Leon is there the Oilers right side won't beat that.
The Oilers have Eberle - ___+ ___ + Zach Kassian. They can crow about Pulljujarvi, Drasaitle, Drake Cagguila and Anton Sleepshev all they want but besides the hulking German (who we don't count because he's back at center) it's a jumbled mess of fill the holes with whatever's available.
I could improve the Flames RW depth is if I suddenly tossed Mikael Backlund there too.

Which is why Chia is being lambasted for not signing Versteeg. And I think it came down to him telling Versteeg you are below JP which would have been silly.

Is Edmonton ####ing kidding me? Just when you think you can't hate the oil any more they go and screw over all the east coast fans on opening night. I just moved to the east coast and have an exam tomorrow... Guess I won't be getting as much sleep

Nobody should be sitting in favour of Grossmann. Grossmann shouldn't even be on this team.

I just hate this Grossman signing. The guy has a long, long way to go if he is to win the fans over. I am hopeful, but sceptical that he can do that.

I would too. Get them out on the ice after the Oilers have finished 'satisfying' themselves all over their new arena.

I brought this up yesterday and no one seemed to notice or care. It was odd. Grossmann was paired with Hamilton during the practice. I thought the board would be in a rage.
