Oilers: Caggiula, Slepyshev, Pakarinen and now they've added Jujar Khaira
While ours is filled with Sam Bennett and then a combination of locker room allstars and outdated plugs like Tanner Glass.
The NHL is moving in a new direction and with defenses and systems being better than ever, you need four lines that can put the puck in the net on any given night. Mark Jankowski not being on this team is criminal and I feel like players such as Morgan Klimchuk and Emile Poirier could slide in other teams' bottom sixes and not look out of place, but on this team, unless you were a top 10 pick then you have virtually no chance of making the roster regardless of how you perform in camp.

This just sounds like more of the same whining that's been popular as of the last two weeks.
We're all unhappy Brouwer hasn't worked out and that Jankowski is not on the team at the moment, but it's early in the season and Treliving has shown he isn't shy about correcting mistakes when possible.
It's easy to point out the grass is greener because of a few teams' rosters, but the fact is every team makes gambles and has contracts they'd rather not be stuck with.
At the end of the day pining over what New Jersey is doing is pretty pointless with how currently terrible they are.
The Flames have room to make a few improvements but this woe is us routine from a vocal minority of this board is getting really tiresome as of late.
