But anywhere after that would be great. I'd personally love to see Ryan Murray in an Oilers uniform. Or Matt Dumba... Or... well I'm getting ahead of myself. The important thing is the kids are competing hard and giving their opponents fits. That's all we can ask for at this point.
i agree with you here, we came up short at the end, but to see the fire and passion those kids were playing with was exactly what we were missing all last year. we kept up with one of the better teams in the NHL. All of those draft picks sound great but ya i would like to see them progress and maybe climb 5-7 spots up the standings. If not im afraid that this maybe the end of tambi.
And I agree with you 100% DYZ on Sutton. The guy has been a warrior out there and is really helping with the PK and punishing guys in our own zone. We havent had anybody like that since Smith. Its gonna be an exciting season for sure. Hopefully tambi is working that phone and can get us some more help on the back end for Omark/Gags
