The Oilers Fanatic goes over all the latest in Oil Country!! #Oilers #EdmontonOilers #LetsGoOilers #connormcdavid #samoreilly #jeffjackson #jackcampbell #calvinpickard #camdineen #jakedebrusk
I'm so damn excited about the end of that draft!!! Jeff Jackson got asked by Friedman about their UFAs after the O'Reilly pick - "nothing imminent, we're talking to them. Obviously because we played so late we're a little behind the 8 ball, but we've had good discussions with all of the guys who are our own UFAs, and *we're optimistic we're going to be able to bring all of them back."* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy to see Picard return. I hope he gets more ice time this year. He's a great compliment to Skinner and it's nice to see how much they support each other. I think Picard played a key role in helping Skinner, who is still a very young goalie, to find his game. Picard, in is own right, is a solid goalie who plays with heart and is fun to watch.
Sam is a great addition, he's a defensive forward which is kinda needed. He started out on defense so he's kinda exactly what we need. Top6 material? Don't know about that but he definitely adds some depth
my thoughts exactly! How bout both? Man that would be worth gettin drunk on jaergermeister! To have them both AND bring up big Lavoie would mean we gotta say goodbye to henrique, Perry and Derek Ryan. Jeff Jackson is lookin to score big time off the ice.
Great signing for pickled and bringing Brown back for hopefully a low amount would also be great. They honestly should trade Campbell to Utah or someone who has a lot of cap space and send a 3rd round pick for a 7th round pick just to get his contract out. DeBrusk would be an upgrade at wing for the team as he has way more upside than most of the forwards now with scoring. Physically like Kane or Foegle.
Picard deserved the resign. Like you, DeBrusk is an annual rumor. Nice to have but can they afford him ? If Brown can continue his playoff run in the off season it will be awesome. Thanks for the update
Watched pretty near all of Sam O'Reilly home games last two seasons, first for the junior B Komaka Kings and this last season for London Knights. This kid has no stopping in him, he'll go until the lights are all out. It might be too soon, but I can honestly say the Oilers have just got themselves their second Mark Messier, mark these words
He's one of the feel-good stories of the year. Another Holland gamble that, with patience, paid off. I gave him a lot of leeway because of his injury, then lost hope in him before he restored it.
This was a sneaky good move, I see reactions like waste of draft capital for nexts years deadline but we know the oilers first round pick will be a late first round this kid goes out and has a monster yr in the O and increases his value and he’s one year closer to NHL ready now the oil have a very good trade piece at the deadline think as the same framework that got us Ekholm
Yeah agree I wish he was more NHL ready because he's the exact player type needed but he could be another Reid Schaefer btw do the punctuation keys work on your device
We need veterans. Especially on defense. Nurse could go if anyone will take him. Bouchard needs to be better in his own zone, Kane performed in year one and nothing since. Drysaitl couldn't hit the net in the final. Lots i don't know the details of why, maybe injuries or personal issues.
Why would the flyers trade this years pick got a later 1st pick are they trying to extend their rebuild or are they just saying there are no players in this draft that were worth their pick? You know it’s a bad year for draft when the flyers don’t want any of them
Don't like the trade of 1st round for future 1st round. We don't have any draft picks for next year's deadline deal. Unless they can trade Kane or Campbell away, I don't see we have the cap space for Debrusk.
@@ryans413 Yes I know, but I was joking that (assuming Ken holland didn't plan this deal before his tenure was up) ken Holland doesn't like the trade Jeff Jackson made for the oilers in getting Sam O'Reilly.
Yeah man you got a new fan for sure. got to tell you I really appreciate the chill attitude and insight but the best part is not begging for likes and subscriptions and all that stuff like what seems like dozens of oilers specific podcasts that are either too greedy or insecure to let their content determine their support. I'd sure hate to see Kane go, especially before he gets an opportunity to knock kadre out of this league and into the KHL where he belongs, lol. Eckholm for 25, Conn Smythe, I ABSOLUTELY KNEW that bouchard would make a fatal mistake, 1st rule is DEFENCE FIRST EVAN, 2nd and 3rd rules are DEFENCE FIRST EVAN, Could u imagine the hunter family alumni and toughness influence to go with Gretzky brains, Keith G has done an awesome job, after the cup win next year he'll be here, for a long time. aren't really many slackerds on Bakersfield condors. Hmu if your going to be down here.
