I'll start. I hate Derek Ryan, and for no good reason. He isn't that good, I am glad he left the Flames. Not sure what it is, but #### that guy.

All of them! I didn't particularly like Derek Ryan when he was with the Flames, and now hate him!

Draisaitl is a year behind Matthews so he should be looking for whatever Matthews gets which I assume will be in the $13 million range if the salary cap increases as expected.

When Draisaitl signs he will be the highest paid player in the league or just a shade behind Matthews, totally agree with you.

McDavid, Draisaitl, and Matthews are going to sign in Arizona as UFAs to play with Bedard.

Draisaitl signs as UFA in Belgium because it’s almost home but he doesn’t have to put up with family being too close.

I hate Draisaitl and mcdavid equally but differently. Draisaitl because he plays dirty; slewfeet, slashes when he can’t be detected, and of course doesn’t comply with the code as held up in greaserville. Mcdavid for the grabbing opponents sticks and basically falling over. It seriously diminishes their skill as players.

After nurse punched out Draisaitl, does anyone know if nurse’s sister was at the wedding?

Hey, I thought Edmonton was this hockey mad city. At least that’s what many Edmontonians tell Calgarians on a regular basis, that they are the better hockey city. So how come they can’t give tickets away to the world junior games? Can’t get people into the urine smelling Rogers place unless the Oilers are playing?

It's strange, but everyone seems to have left edmonton at the same time. Seriously, it has been strangely dead in town for the last 2 weeks now. Tumbleweeds abound.

It's extra strange because this is basically the best it gets in Edmonton? This is the time of year you want to be here.

Don't know where everyone went but they ain't here.

Don't want PK slewban in our division :d

[Enoch Root]

The Oilers have $300k in cap space, with 11 forwards and 7 D in the mix.

I suppose they could sign Subban for about $1M, and drop Broberg or Koekkoek off. But they can't sign Kessel unless they move out a forward.

Surely Staples is just flat out trolling with that post

[CalgaryFan1988]

So, Staples placed a $1 bet on where each player will end up to manipulate the odds so that he could write a tweet? cool

[topfiverecords]

Do they really need any more wingers and D when Draisaitl and Nurse play 30 mins a night.

[direwolf]

Judging by the responses to that tweet, even Oiler fans are like "nope, don't want either of those guys."

[Sofa GM]

God Staples is an idiot…. Kessel isn’t going to play in Derpville, they are not a contender. He will play in a sunny destination, guessing Florida or back in AZ.
