I don’t want another small skilled forward. I want to build a team of bullies (on the ice). I want to be done with the guys who just look around when your top forward gets destroyed. Samuelsson should have been gone when he did nothing. Kesselring and Doan bring that toughness mentality so I expect almost every pickup that we get via trade or FA should have the same imo.

JJ is only 23, he can develop into a 2 way player unfortunately our assistant coaches are trash and not helping at all, how they are still employed after 2 separate losing coaching regimes is only 1 the owner or GM can answer.

Now trade Byram for a JJ replacement and if that means the 9th overall pick goes with it I’m cool with that. Add a defensemen and legit goalie option in FA or trades and we’re looking up.

I can't lie I don't hate this trade which is why I don't think it's Adams who made it LOL we get 2 guys who arent afraid at all mixing it up and throwing their body around. Shane Doan has a that fire like his dad did and is growing more and more into it. The only thing I don't like is that both of them are RFA's next season and we could be going through the same thing again next offseason but I don't hate this at all.

Going on 6 years, this broken record gets old.

How is he not in already, NHL is an abomination, the red headed step child of sports.

Every time I hear any of our staff talking I just picture them in full clown outfits. I’ve never seen failure on this scale rewarded all because the GM kisses our owners ass. I will never pay a single cent to this organization until they’re a cup contender. So I won’t have to piss my money away for a very long time!

I don't think we can afford to lose a player like Tuch, a player that has said to want to be here and on most nights gives it his all. He does come with flaws but alot less than a bunch of these other guys, I'll worry about those later years when they get here.

I'd prefer a true RHD.

If it was an epidemic I’d say do it but fights rarely occur anymore and when they do they seem far less brutal from the Bob Probert days. I mean we get to watch Krebs attempt to fight then go into the fetal position while falling to the ground. Also tell me those 3 fights at 4 nations wasn’t epic, if you do we’ll definitely be fighting 🙂

Maybe the least entertaining Stanley Cup final I've seen in some time. Congrats to the panthers though, they make everyone look like crap.

For me it’s Jarmo in the front office, if he’s actually doing the deals we have a chance otherwise it’s pretty doom and gloom for us imo.

Oilers self destructing, If McDavid or Leon doesn't take over they're toast again.

These refs are hot garbage, it barely grazed his helmet.

Really, Swift/Kelce in NHL now? It's not nausiating enough in football I guess.

He does look promising, I really like Östlund, Novikov also.

Why do we want yet another LHD that has -120 for his career, i already know what some of you will say ... "He's just on a bad team", Hello! Buffalo is a bad team also and has Ferraro been good at all defensively?

If we're picking at all in the 1st round this is a failure imo. Draft picks who may or may not be good in 3 years does nothing to help us right now.

Who else fits the bill as a solid 2 way 1st line forward other than Jason Roberstson who's been rumored to be on the trade block? Because right now Robertson is the only player I'm trading him for. I'd definitely not be dealing him for draft picks, I don't think trading him makes much sense unless it's a player of Robertson's caliber.

The messed up part about this is that we probably care more than the players do. Right now Tuch is probably making a baby in his mansion without a care in the world while we’re on here talking about coaches, assistants, new players etc , sometimes it sucks to be a fan.

So he’s allowed to trade Eichel, trade Reinhardt, trade Dylan Cozens at the deadline but even though Adams himself said that was on him , he should have acted on the trade, now it’s Pegula who said no trades? I’m not buying that. If it’s a money thing then why trade cozens for 2 higher salaries than the 2 guys we traded out?

I think I grabbed the wrong quote my bad.

Doing nothing when your team loses 13 games in a row is inexcusable. Nobody can tell me otherwise, your job as a GM is to put together a winning roster. You had to know losing 13 games would derail your entire season, his excuse was nobody was willing to come here yet we traded Cozens for Norris at the deadline. Adams is terrible at his job and now we have to suffer another season with this clown.

Well we now know Edmonton will win the Stanley Cup, that's how it works doesn't it?
