Reply With QuoteIf they offer sheet anyone, I'd rather they try Benn or Subban.
I only meant that Gagner is the least valuable of Eberle, RNH, Hall, Yakupov in terms of offensive production, therefore the one I'd be least likely to miss if traded. Honestly, I love the kid, but I'm not sure he has big offensive upside, nor do I think with those 4 young guns ahead of him, the Oilers actually NEED Gagner in the longer term.Originally Posted by BlackGold
Horcoff could potentially fill-in on the second line, he has played with Hemsky in the past, but wouldn't it be a hoot if they put an offer sheet out for Ryan O'Reilly. The Avs already have Stastny and Duchene at C and might honestly prefer to reap a package of high draft picks from a potential lottery team like Edmonton! Roll the dice...come on lucky 7...
Still wouldn't address the defensive issues, but at least O'Reilly has a defensive conscience.

#- denotes number of years I have kept a player. 2 = I need to trade him this year, (F1) = Franchise Keeper, up to 4 years.
Both Benn and Subban are way, way superior to O'Reilly, BUT their respective teams would match in a heartbeat. With O'Reilly, he's pegged as the third line C on the Avs and he's likely looking for 2nd line+ money. There is a much better chance of success going for him and he's a pretty sweet player. Not going to happen, but one can dream!
O'Reilly would centre Landeskog in Colorado
Thanks Ev. Last season, O'Reilly and Landeskog played a lot together and Stastny played a good chunk of last season with Duchene. Just another delusional Oiler fan here...
Fantasic ending in the Oilers / Kings game tonight!! Yakupov went all Theo Fleury on the goal celebration which was beautiful and Gagner ends it in OT!
I can feel the hate building against Yakupov with every game he plays. He'll feed off it. I love it!

Just need 45 more like that.
Gotta admit the team got lucky time and time again tonight but at least they played with passion as evidenced above.
I thought they were just fine 5 on 5, and both teams couldn't finish off on the PP. Very strange in that regards. If they are going to play such a defensively suspect system though they need to learn to finish their chances.
Yeah, I'm just saying three posts, two on that first 5on3, easily could've been re-run of the San Jose game.
Turned out to be an exciting game with all the last second dramatics, but the officiating was just weird tonight. It's like they were going through the rule book and saying, "Hey, we haven't called that in a while..." They weren't wrong or biased, but the officials were FAR too noticeable tonight. Good ending for Edmonton tonight, but they were lucky to come away with 2 pts.
Not sure how I feel about the Ray Lewis-esque praying on the ground vibe.....
Meh, it makes for great theatre! Hockey is far too stuffy sometimes...let the kids celebrate exciting moments. Too many Buzz Killington's out there (yeah Don Cherry, I'm looking at you...and the Tampa Bay Lightning players as well - remember the uproar when Linus Omark got a little too fancy in the shootout?)

That still pisses me off. That move by Omark was so much fun and St. Louis is such a hypocrite for getting upset considering some of the shit he's pulled. Thanks for reminding me that I hate St. Louis.
i have been to A LOT of oilers game and this was probably the loudest!!
