They should be focused on getting a healthy Kane back in line up he has got the oilers into its position now he loves Edmonton loves city they love him and he is a better player then Perry why they resigned him but they need kane his toughness and goal scoring a has earned a spot he isn't going to leave he started a new life he puts his money into charities not casinos he has no trade clause they need him who is going to be tough guy on ice dropping gloves for team mates and his toughness finishing hits behind net causing havoc with goals get off of kane he built or building a new house he wants to live in Edmonton
All Stan did was call Sheldon Kennedy for some "advice", he didn't join Sheldon's organization as a spokesman or anything else, nor did he do anything else of substance for SA prevention since he was fired. He hid in his basement for a few years, popped up after his suspension was lifted, and said the things people needed to hear. He learned nothing and does not care how he failed Kyle Beech nor that he was directly responsible for another high school kid being SA'd by this guy (the video coach). In the end, Stan is a member of the old-boys-club and the NHL loves the old boys. Sad
MCLEOD SUCKS ASZZZZZZZZ what kind of hockey player is scared of human contact. Waste of speed, low hockey IQ, no grit and no consideration for teammates. He should've been benched a long time ago, he made many game tilting mistakes for no other reason than being a coward. He was definitely a liability for the Oilers and became worse under the playoff pressure, not better. The team gave him so many chances but each time was too scared (apparently?) to step up to the occasion, winning the cup demands sacrifices but at least don't drag your team down if you're too scared to play. Bad teammate.
yeppers.... Skins doesnt give me any confidence for some reason... even though he didnt play extremely bad... just too many stinkers at the worst moments
The Oilers need a power forward.....and until they find another...he is the man. Too many liberties were taken against McJesus and Drais in the playoffs....they have to get some more grit....not chase away what they have.....Dasharnais is gone now too.
errr.... Cup Final Game 7 = Round 2 Game 5 ? dun think so...... the only thing the same is they both got eliminated by the Panthers in each of their best runs! :P
Agreed. LTIR Kane. Get a decent D to pair up with Ekholm, maybe talk to Trodz. He needs to clear books with a couple 100k too. Ceci needs to go. Force Nurse to focus on the defensive on 3.pair and use that as little as possible
this is the stupidest video ive seen regarding the oilers all year. another packie that knows nothing abput hockey let alone the oilers spewing garbage takes for clicks
What is this for craptalk about kane he is 1 of The best player in nhl and edmonton realy realy needs this type of players how is big and strong and play heard and psykical why are we even talk about trading KANE he is going nowhere if you ask ME I just love EVANDER KANE ❤❤

Kane has a NMC you just can't trade him he would have to waive and he won't he just built a house in Edmonton why people keep suggesting this makes 0 sense, the Oilers have said they have not asked him to waive and will not
The same thing people say about Nurse. They both have to agree to the trade for it to happen and the contract of the salary isn't easy to move. People for some reason think it's easy like it's a videogame.
Matt Savoie is young but he is little . Buffalo is deep with talented prospects. McLeod is exactly what Buffalo needs , a defensive center with speed.Good trade.
Funny you hate McLeod for being soft. Savoie even softer. Blaming all those goals on him when Oilers defense throwing the puck away and not tying up forwards in front of the net.
I wasnt trying to blame everything on 71, just showcasing where he screwed up in costly scenarios. Anyways, Dman or forward , you gotta step up and cover for your mates when they screw up rather than chickening out of a shot block or hit - u cant win if you u dun sacrifice , could learn a thing or two from cats in this dept.
I will say you guys got a good one in Savoie, no doubt about that..but rumor I heard is you guys wanted Kulich and thankfully we did not bend there whatsoever and gave up Savoie instead..so far Savoie is made of glass it appears..but you Oiler fans keep on about the physical play of McLeod..why???..reality check, we did not get him for that 🙄..we got McLeod for his speed, defensive play and faceoff ability..the Sabres addressed their physical play already adding 591 hits with our new 4th line alone and that not counting the hits Gilbert and Zucker bring also ..as for physical play? it was all the Oilers who were guilty in that Finals for not being physical enough against a far more physical Florida squad..the Panthers outhit you 6 out of 7 games and they outhit you 296 to 181..and thats the fault of McLeod and not the entire team itself?? ..the Sabres as I write this?? still have the deepest center prospect pool in the NHL by far..but if you want to blame McLeod on not winning the cup? then I thank him for that cause I was 100% cheering for Florida lol
Thx for your long detailed reply ! Perhaps if you have been watching this player (#71) since he stepped foot in the big club and thought that he would progress rather than regress then you might understand my disappointment in this player. He is very fast, not bad defensively when he is moving around as a fast disturber - BUT - he does definitely will not play HARD. Not just blaming the loss of the cup against FLA all on 1 guy here - the whole team had issues in the last round (even especially Draisaitl) - but I was pin pointing some of the stuff that made him the odd man out. When everyone knows whats on the line, and are suppose to up his game - clearly 71 did not and showed he rather not sacrifice his body to help his team win. You guys got a good player for the regular season - but not one that can be counted on for the playoffs. Best of luck to the Sabres next season anyways! We have gone thru the same dark days many years ago as well!
Mcleod's been in many playoffs and proven he cant perform - case closed. Green apple might turn into a Mac Pro one day, and we dun need it now anyways.
@@fthockey id like to see it. But I am concerned about the weight loss diet the team has had this summer. Foegle, Desharnais and McLeod are all big guys, tough on opponents. Arvidsson is still tenacious, but Skinner and Savoie aren't going to bring any physical elements. That's why I'd be more concerned if they move Kane...they are short on players of his archetype.
a big DESERVED! he had his chance to redeem himself, and yet he didnt improve in the finals and cost the team the cup. thumbs up to Jackson for emptying the garbage !
@@fthockey he played for us last year and the preseason and was alright like nothing special. Benson was his teammate and got drafted 1 pick after him by the Sabres and search up his highlights from last season.
Savoie way overrated.Small forward Gets knocked off the puck easily. Turnover machine awful defensively. Watched him play for team Canada and in the memorial cup and wasn’t impressed at all and I was really excited to watch him.
Still top heavy, but I hope this improves their 5 on 5 play, Skinner is ok but I think his numbers were inflated by playing behind a solid defence, still think that position should be upgraded, defence we still need help, another 2 RD would be nice, Nurse is overpaid and tries to overachieve which ruins his game. But I know it is impossible to move that contract so all I can hope for is that he plays the best game of his career next year. Just need him to be solid defensively.
Ya, Nurse contract is a monstrosity.... if he wasnt so greedy and only took like <$7M we woulda had some more wiggle room to upgrade the D at the deadline and not only bring in Stecher to sit in his suit and tie...... hopefully Skinner & Arv can fill that 30 goal scorer hole that Kane left open
The curse of 1988 will continue in perpetuity. You can add all the overpaid players you can afford ( like you already have), and it won't make one iota of difference. Selfish superstars, burger flippers for D men, complete sieves for goaltending, and absolutely no heart. You play in the softest division in pro hockey, and it makes you think you are special.
Mr. Dithers would never have done half of those moves...maybe less.....Jackson did a great job. That's what I never liked about Holland he sat idle until there was no one left...then signed some 4th liner or a reclamation project.
Holland was like a an old man waiting for the sunset.... he was way too conservative and wasted a few good yrs of McDrai.... and also giving Nurse the horrible contract.... he can now go back to Detroit since he mentions it like every press con !!
Like they dumped Campbell theyMUST dump Nurse. He is the wurst.Skinner will probably be on McDavids line. Kane will be LTIR for the season. They'll work a lot with the AHL this year.
yup they totally choked up in game 7 and McDavid and Draisaitl were ghosts in that game also, plain and simple..now they are stuck soon having to pay Draisaitl 14M per season
If they want a cup, they will need to. But McFlop is a selfish child. He demanded too big of a contract. The greats take team friendly deals to add talent. But not McFlop.
Crazy magic done by JJ , getting all these high end players at near dirt cheap deals just by UFAing, we still got some stash left to grab a top dman by deadline, this is a MUST if we want that cup, the same D core will not be able to complete the mission!
