*Because his team sucked too hard to make the playoffs. Taxes, license and rebates extra. Dealer may sell for less.

I don't think he was ever a first-liner. A solid top six guy, but he was never near elite level status. Kind of like a Shane Doan type, but I think Doan has had a better career in the end.

True

If Ekblad is gone top 2, Oil will have a deal in place to get a top tier active D-man or trade down.

Wait, that's what a smart team would do. The Oil will draft Reinhart 3rd or trade for Phaneuf.

-----This is an Emergency Broadcast Alert for North America-----

Ensure all your loved ones are accounted for and take shelter immediately. Stay away from any windows or movable objects.

There is an unexpected Cat 5 hurricane potentially unleashing on residents of North America.

This unprecedented event seems highly probable in the event the Edmonton Oilers win their hockey game, due to a huge sigh of relief from Aaron Ekblad.

---- End PSA ----




Note: Before you panic, yes this is in jest, if you can't tell by now.

I mean I think he did his job in front of the net but nothing like what the oilers think of him must just be from how long he's been with the club

well he used to be a better player...you don't score over 800 points on longevity alone

Probably the weakest slap shot in the history of the game.

Or maybe Buffalo takes Ekblad and trades Myers to the Oilers, if the Sabres angle towards a long term rebuild, and are really sold on Ekblad.

[pylon]

Hall shoulda toe-dragged that.

"Away", you keep forgetting to say "away" when you say that.

[Flash Walken]

I hope the oilers pick another ineligible player this year.

I hope they draft Nylander and his mother refuses to let him go there.

Man, that droopy dog soundboard is awesome.

This is the announcer, followed quickly by Lowe seeing the draft position because they're winning.

[saXon]

This was the poorest Canadian matchup I've ever seen. What a snoozefest.

Talon has said he likes Ehlers. If he's serious, he may be willing to trade down.
