Easily losing 4-5 turn overs a game alone would help :p Too bad Connor McDavid isn't gonna make this draft  | ||

We always knew he had high potential in Toronto, but it wasn't easy for Toronto Draft Picks in the Cliff Fletcher/Pat Quinn eras. It was very rare for them to see any ice-time in those days. Sure, Pat Quinn had a thing for guys like Nik Antropov and Alexei Ponikarovsky but there was always nagging questions about their development. >_< We rarely kept guys. At least our system is much better, but under the new policy it's really hard to keep players regardless.

I mean, I love Pleks, I like Gio, I don't mind Briere or Desharnais, I'd be happy to have 1-2 *preferably 1* in our top 6, but having all 4 is just......bad. I think you guys could do without Gionta. I like Pleks too but he always gets injured. He's as injury prone as Lupul, but he still produces when he's in the line-up. Briere was a stupid signing (I know how much people love Vincent Lecavalier in those parts too, but he isn't the answer either). Their glory days are over. | ||

Yeah, Pleks problem is Koivu's problem, he's our most consistent forward by far, so he does 1A center, PP, PK, dude is a workhorse, and he's stuck with Gio/Bourque >.>. Briere was dumb as shit, if we had to go get a French guy, I'd of rathered Vinny *really preferred neither but*, at least Vinny isn't another smurf, and maybe coulda helped Desharnais/Patches a little more, at the very least, he can't be worse then Briere. | ||

for Lecavalier, he got old very quickly. He got to a thousand nhl games at age 31. I agree he had a ridiculous contract though lol. And I dont get how Plekanec is injury prone. The guy hasnt missed more than 5 games in a season since 2006-07. | ||

I have never seen a coach pull a goalie because of goals allowed and then send him right back in one shift later like a line change... Apparently, Dubnyk Sprained his ankle on the way to the net in Pheonix. -.- He injured. Apparently the hockey gods hate edmonton. Our Injured reserve list: Taylor Hall Sam Gagner Ryan Hamilton Jesse Joensuu Tyler Pitlick Ryan Smyth Corey Potter Denis Grebeshkov Devan Dubnyk In before the Oilers set a new record for man-games lost again like they did the first year they finished 30th. Like ffs, our main guys get injured, and then the guys that come in to replace them hit the IR right afterwards. -.- | ||

Well, Carle is pretty fucking good. Because TBL traded him so quick to PHL, it was more like Boyle for Downie, Eminger, a 4th, Wishart, and a 1st. That's not the worst return, especially as Downie had a few good seasons for TBL. That said, they should have just kept Matt Carle, because he's awesome. That goes for TBL and PHI. | ||

The guy is a legend considering how he was treated on the way into the league and how tiny he is and how old he is. I dunno, during that 2004 era, I'd say Boyle was the best for sure. He has been a damn good defenceman for awhile. Boyle, as far as I am concerned was 100% the reason Brent Burns looked like a player for awhile there, similar to how Weber was only so good (not that he isn't really fucking good still, but he is no longer "potentially best defenceman to ever play the game" good) because he had a Suter pivot beside him (kind of like Jonas Brodin now.) Boyle can skate, hit, shoot, is solid defensively, has such great poise with the puck. People give a guy like PK Subban a ton of Credit, but if you take away all the flashy spin-a-rama's Boyles been doing that same thing for years. Thing is the Eastern media has no idea what it is talking about when it comes to the west because they are all tucked into bed by the time the western teams play. A good example of this is Calder voting, eastern teams ahve won that trophy about 80% of the time, and the western teams players that win are usually eastern west teams like Detroit/Minny/Columbus/Colorado. (Funny enough, three of those teams now in the east, and the other one wanted in the east so bad its not even funny...) | ||

The sharks always lost because despite always having a really solid 2 line attack, they have never had really solid depth on Forward in the sense that if you got rid of one of their lines, they couldn't score. Every year they've just ahd that one injury in the playoffs that killed their two line attack. For example, in 2006 after Torres head hunted Michalek, the Oilers just put Pronger on Thornton/Marleau/Cheechoo and the sharks couldn't score. | ||
