I feel for the guy because he gets tough defensive assignments fairly often, or else he gets terrible linemates and has to cover for them. So he takes penalties.

I do agree his shelf life is pretty much gone, at least here. I think he's a pretty good expansion team pickup. They'd get a faceoff guy, who knows the game and who'd provide some decent leadership (the guy's seen a lot of life in his career). And he'd help them reach the cap floor.

Edmonton is truly terrible. They should be forced to draft give up there first round pick in exchange for a 5th.

It is a gimmick, but after what Edmonton has done (and continue to do) you can't blame them for trying something different.

You can blame them for implementing the wrong solution though. 50% is as low as the odds should have gone for the last place team imo.

Dougie reaches 40 points with an assist on Bennett's 2nd goal.

But he's just Justin Schultz 2.0 according to Oiler fans

So annoying hearing national media talking heads say he is not having the season we were hoping for. I'm sorry, was a 22 year old DEFENCEMAN supposed to come into a new team and score 65 points? Is 40 not good enough? Gee whiz.

I'm sure he is a Justin Schultz 2.0 on a roster full of Giordanos

For some reason it's six minutes behind now.

Even the forum clock is affected by Coyotes hockey.

McDavid not helping much this season but I guess he'll just will the Oilers back to relevancy next year.
