how would you improve the Oilers....

[snopro]

They need a big name goalie more than they need anymore scorers. That’s where I see the need

Need to build the team from the goalie out....We seem to be building the opposite way. Offense doesn't win championships anymore like it did in the 80s

They've been trying to do this for close to a decade. Heap on scoring and pay no attention to goaltending or defense.

Oilers have no defense.

Agree to this. When the oilers ran up to the cup final in 05-06 they did on goal tending, defence and the scoring up front came from non star forwards. To put things into perspective there highest point guy was Hemsky that year and that was with only 70 something points.

Oilers could have a prime Pat Roy in nets and he’ll still have terrible numbers with all the odd man rushes and grade A chances from the slot. It’s wild how management can’t see this.

They don't need to win. They can suck every year and people will keep buying tickets.

We need to do a big, unpopular trade. We need to unload nurse as well but we are handcuffed there.

Get rid of McDavid or Draisital...or Nuge. Buy 2 actual defenseman and your mid grade goalie with me able to keep up.

 

[snopro]

Crazy to give up your big two. Best one two punch in the league by far. It will be like trading Gretzky.

 

[mclean]

A lot of good it's doing though...

Get rid of McDavid and Drai both. With the money you save there you could buy a whole bunch of hot young talent.

I guess they heard the snow and mud threat today. Boys are playing well...so far

Well I fell asleep last night with the little guy. Looks like I missed a gooder

Maybe, just maybe, they might be on the road to recovery.
Skinner is still a little shakey and the defence are running around but there is hustle and bustle.
Does “on a mission” fit the scenario last night?

they look better but unfortunately with out some changes in goal and or defence we'll just keep slipping back. better yet we need to do something behind the bench in regards to goal tending and defence coaching.

 

[mclean]

Defence especially. They always look out of place and scrambling

 

[teeroy]

Well, I sure wouldn't be signing Corey Perry off waivers lol.
