They were both dumb and should sleep in the bed they made.

Draisaitl should've known most of that contract would be after their contention window.

It's gonna be bleak there as soon as McDavid is out. Enjoy it bud!

Maybe they should try playing McDrai 60 minutes every second game.

Pissy’s comments COULD be interpreted as the coaches rely only on 4-5 guys night after night … what about all the other players?

This, of course, ignores that there is a total of 180 “forward minutes” (yes, PPs can increase this a bit) in a game and 3 forwards hog around 70 of those. He’s blaming that on the Knob. As if, Knob doesn’t pull them off…

In any event, the other 8 get to share all of the 110 remaining, almost none of which is PP time either.

Really? Seems rather self-serving to me.

I'd trade them Kadri, for their next 3 first round pics. 27/28/29. They'll be JUICY.

That 2028 edmonton 1st should be a target.

I dont think any vet we could trade them would change their fortunes.

They're too steeped in the mindset of winning now that they probably aren't protective about a pick thats a few years out.

For sure, but give my Hyman's dad and I'm still division 5 beer league at best. Even if my dad bought the beer league.

It may be weird, but the fact he wrote a kids book always made me assume he was less scummy than the rest.

Maybe on the ice, but off the ice you dad could buy an OHL team and then make you the GM:

Or buy a tier 2 Jr A team and make you the director of player personnel or skill development coach:

  1. Todd McLellan
  2. Ken Hitchcock
  3. Dave Tippett
  4. Jay Woodcroft
  5. Kris Knoblauch

Draisaitl also had Dallas Eakins and Todd Nelson during his half season with the team in his rookie year.

I'm not going to lie, if I was coach of the Oilers, I would play McDavid and Draisaitl as much as possible and play the rest of the forwards as little as possible too. As my kid would say, their line-up consists mostly of toot morsels.

the first 3 are all in the top 20 for coaching wins of all time- so they have blown through some veterans of the biz

Staples back with another article in the Journal. No powerhouse references this time. Is there a “journalist” with less credibility than Staples? What a loser.
