Their media says because Mrs. McBaby opened her restaurant, they aren't leaving. Ha. Ha.

60% of restaurants close within the first 3 years. The restaurant, and her Oilers clothing line, are the last two efforts to grift as much money from Greaser fans off of McDavid's name before they run out of town.

Funny, but also 100% true.

I keep seeing articles about the Oil trading for different players, latest was Marchand, and my first thought is "with what". They have one prospect, absolutely no draft picks, and no players anyone would want. Truly no good

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

You mean they wouldn't want 31 yo RNH with term? Unpossible!

Actually Oiler fan proposals would be something insulting like Brown and two 2nds.

Who? Matthew "Philips 2.0" Savoie? Savoie will be lucky to match Philips 34 GP and 5 P in the NHL. He has the value of maybe a 3rd round pick, more likely 4th.

Maybe Sam O'Reilly? 44 P in 45 GP in his D+1 year? He's being outperformed by Jaden Linpinski in his D+1 year, and Lipinski was ranked 19th in Flames prospects last offseason. I doubt he has much more value than Savoie, only being that he's younger.

Beau Akey? The 7th defenseman on the abysmal WJC Canada roster? Only on the team because he was nearly 20? I doubt any Flames fan would trade any of our top 6 defensive prospects for Akey 1 for 1. That's how little value he has.

That's it. The rest are projecting to be AHL middle 6 at best. 29th ranked prospect pool is being generous because maybe Savoie defies the odds and becomes a marginal player. They'll be filling the team with overpaid UFA's for years.

You seem to be forgetting about their 4 draft picks this year. And they have one in every round next year too.. Checkmate

They let Lowe’s hockey news subscription go.

Therefore, no idea who to draft and accordingly no need for any picks.

I assume the oilers will try to get him around 16 in that case. Toronto may be willing to go higher though, if money is even an issue

Can you imagine the temper tantrum and throwing things around the room if the Oilers open with $16 million?

Jackson better keep his head up because lesser things have happened and a headshot is the outcome.

I keep a journal and 6 years ago today the Oilers gassed a 2-1 lead in the 3rd period to lose 6-2 to the Blackhawks. Three jerseys were tossed on the ice.

I'm looking forward to more jerseys being tossed on the ice when they lose in the first round.
