LOL. Another one from the church of more scoring = more wins

How has that worked out in the first 8 McSeasons?

They're already running the two best offensive players in the league together and can't outscore teams right now

Their goal preventing ability is getting worse by the day

If they get Karlsson they will 100% find ways to lose 7-6 in the playoffs, if they even make it

Skinner has a poor record despite his decent numbers, and they are steadily declining as his workload increases. It means he has trouble closing games out. And rarely does a rookie make a team dangerous in the best of 16 tournament when your defending is as pedestrian as edmontons. Experience counts for something, you know

Are you from Edmonton? 1/10 take. Do us a favour and reach out and strangle yourself.
