The funny thing is that Maroon is basically what they though Lucic was going to be. So they will now overpay Maroon and have a vastly overpaid Lucic sitting on line 2 putting up 3rd line offense numbers.

Maroon will have slowed down by next year and they'll still overpay

If the Flames take care of business, Saturday could be huge, and squiggs could finally post the snake he's been waiting for all season. Crazy.

Um what does this have to do with the Oilers?

Seriously.

Accept your 10 demerits and go sit in the corner, the adults are talking about the Oilers here.

Helping to build the case for a "Boo" button to offset the "Thanks" button.

Given a decade of history though, what would it matter if 3 on 3 were in the playoffs to the greasers? Just superfluous rule changing.

I thought the talk at draft time was that skating was a weakness.

True, but the guys at EA Sports NHL Department of Accurate Player Skills have worked super hard with him to get his rating upto 90.

Kudos EA. Kudos.

Last year. The work he put in on his skating the summer of 2015 made a noticeable difference in 2015-16.

One is a guy leading his NHL team in goals, and the other is a guy who may never play an NHL game.
