What was Stauffer's prediction on those two? 40 points each this year?

Heard Andrew Walker on the Oilers pregame radio yesterday. What an Oiler knobgobbler that guy is. Claiming that Big save Dave would come down with the Oiler flu and chicken out from playing the Oilers. How'd that turn out, ya fanboy? Does all media working in Edmonton have to wave the Oiler pompoms?

In any games that I've watched they've been invisible.
It makes you wonder why Buffalo a team that needs youth badly was so happy to send him to Edmonton.

Howard's skating is not at an NHL level.

IMO, Howard is the most over-rated prospect/young player in the NHL right now.
I don't see anything with him, other than cockiness (which seems to be the most important attribute for a player, in the eyes of Oiler management)

Howard isn't even that young, he turns 22 this season. He wasn't on any top prospects list until he got traded to the Oilers. Winning the hobey baker at that age isn't that special, the top end guys are already in the NHL by then.

I'll have to check out the highlights of last night's game against the Islanders. I've seen two articles now on how bad 'ole 10-5 Boooooooochard played.
The athletic had one (behind a paywall) and this one from Sportsnet:

The Edmonton Oilers took the train to their game on Long Island. The train wreck came later, in the form of their No. 1 defenceman’s performance.
Evan Bouchard had perhaps the worst night of his NHL career Thursday, and everyone on both sides knew it...

No prospects and their supposed two can't miss prospects have zeroes across the board.
McD was a goof to stay any longer.

Ray Ferraro said it's the worst 2 periods he's seen and NHLer play. Love it.

The whole league is crazy with that player...he puts up points because of McDrai. Tyson Barrie had 48 points in 56 games in that spot and was out of the league a few years later.

Bouchard is really bad at hockey outside of PP situations with two of the top 5 players in the world.
I hope he is Edmonton's #1D for a long time.

Over on the HF cesspool, many fans are pissed at McNoD because he's given up on D even more, and seems to be phoning it in on the offensive side, passing on high-grade A shooting chances.
McD playing 4D chess with that terrible, no good franchise. Phone it in so he can request a trade by the deadline when the Oilers are out of the playoffs and his cheap salary next year helps whatever team he chooses to go even more.

Lol at believing you can contend riding the corpses of McDrained and Leon WornSaddle for 82+ to compensate for an AHL level supporting cast, a goalie with Mike Smith's tourettes, and D that doesn't know how the defending side of the position works.

But if the team trades for him gutted the roster, he'll be back to square one, wouldn't he?

Could have gotten 4 firsts for Bouchard but chose 10.5M contract

Oilers aren’t smart enough to gut the other team’s roster. They’ll ask for their Howards and Savoies.

McDavid is tied with 26 players at 37th in points. He is last in goals.
