I'll stand by my long standing view that Reinhardt is all kinds of hot garbage.
Thanks, I don't watch them for fear of getting pink eye.

Probably just my buddy talking him up trying to justify the trade.

Reinhart is in the minors, and when Nurse was called up, it wasn't him who was sent down again, it was Reinhart. Now, Fayne is on his way down, outplayed by Davidson.

They're also borderline broke and that contract is atrocious.

If it was a trade and the Oilers retained 50% in exchange for future considerations then it might be on otherwise he can enjoy Bakersfield.

How many times a day do you suppose Chiarelli looks over at MacTavish and just rolls his eyes in wonderment and disgust?

The fact that he can look over and even see MacTavish says a lot about the oilers and how they're run. The guy was probably one of the worst GM's ever and he's still a part of the team lol.

Teach me for listening to Oiler fans. I heard he was playing great, had no idea he was in the minors.

Mind you, it's the same buddy that keeps saying how Hall is so much better than Seguin.

Reinhart has provided absolutely no offence and his possession stats are not good - relative even to his own team. That trade reeked of "we saw him a lot in junior and he was pretty good against 17-year-olds, so lets overpay for him!"

Fayne is actually pretty good.

He's a solid 2nd pairing shut down guy.

I'd take him over Engelland, both as a player and contract.

If we didn't already have Engelland and Smid on the books, I'd gladly see the Flames claim him.

Gods an the Oilers are incompetent.

Not to mention a professional franchise thinking it's a good idea to trade considerable assets for a guy who is close to being a bust but, having played for the Oil Kings in his junior years, is actually a sound investment. In fact, most of the Oilers management seems to anchor themselves on the nostalgia factor. This is why MacTavish and Lowe are still around. I don't know why Nicholson and Chiarelli think this is a good idea.

Disagree. The Fayne / Greene pairing is a very solid 2nd pairing on a good team, and at times were in sneaky first pairing quality territory - no one of course noticed, because they played for the Devils and weren't big point producers. But that was absolutely a good unit and if you can get a guy who acts as a solid 2nd pairing guy for $3.5 per, you do it.

Of course, this is purely from a hockey management perspective, not taking into account the financial situation in NJD.

He probably rolls his eyes more for the fact that he's not allowed to fire MacTavish. What a joke of an organization

Andy Greene, not Matt, but I know who you meant. They were indeed a great, underrated pairing.

He's not even close to a second pairing shut down guy, complete tire fire this season. He has been outplayed by every other defenseman on the oilers blue line, which is extremely disturbing.
