But outside of us... Oilers are highly thought of. That someone here has the opinion they might be junk shouldn't make you start saying they can't be a fan of another team while saying Oilers might not suck.
You've posted this a couple of times - are you under the impression that you are the only one here that is aware of that?

Also, pretty sure that poster you are defending is an Oiler fan.

Colorado and Dallas have improved more than them and were better to begin with, other teams still with improving left to do. Heck even the Jets with Monahan and 7 goals so far.
The lack of respect Vegas is getting as the defending champs is odd too.

They are going through a bit of a lull right now, but as soon as they dial it up they are going to be just as scary as they were last year and with Mantha and possibly Hanifin coming in as well, they could be even better.

Might as well trade them as well.

Don't even know what cap the Lightning had in the first place to do this...

Cap Friendly has them at $0.

So two more forwards for a team that has possibly the worst defence and questionable goaltending. Great job Edmonton, way to identify the weaknesses in your lineup.

I mean they were missing their top 2 forwards...how would the Oilers do without their top 2 forwards?

2 goals against or less in 14 of them. They played a bit poorly towards the end as one would expect.

But if you actually look at stats..

Look at the ‘current cap space’ column. It says $7,383,333.

Sergachev, Seabrook, and Brown are all on LTIR. You can't bank that extra space, so you might as well use it.

Stupid Oilers needed help on defence and in goal. This trade won't get them the Cup.

Holland pushing all in with a questionable hand. Sacrificing more future. If they don't win it all, they are sewered for years to come. I don't think this trade alone does it for them.

bottom feeders with backups...every single year the Oilers are the best at this and the best at that. Why no presidents trophy? Why no division crown? Why no cup? those are the best teams
