I want to see Vancouver just blow up the team, tank, get the #1 pick and rebuild. Now that'd be some good fun.

Vancouver doesn't have the fan support for that.

they literally already burned through their Season Ticket holder list after missing the playoffs one year.

If Vancouver went full Edmonton up in this the team would fold.

Miller is like the best hope you guys could have at goalie. Maybe a 2-3 year deal would be good until Markstrom is rdy.
I agree he is a douche but his stock has plummeted so badly last year, vancouver could probably give him a cheaper deal in the 4 million $ range/season.

Erhoff really wanted to play in Pitssburg. Oilers overpay for Pouliot

Edmonton making splashes. SIgn Fayne and Pouliot.

Hall-RNH-Eberle
Perron-XXXXX-Yakupov
Pouliot-Draisaitl/Arcobello-Purcell
Lander/Gazdic-Hendricks-Gordon

Nikitin-Schultz
Marincin-Fayne
Ference-Petry

Scrivens
Fasth

Thats pretty competitive, actually. We need a center though. If we dont get a center its kind of mediocre, but if we can somehow get a legitimate top 6 C, that is a playoff team, in my opinion. MacT is doing some great work.

statsny at 7 mm to the blues? I guess the Blues got their man, now they better hope that Elliot is their goalie.

Talk is Edmonton looking to trade Petry for a 2c. As per Bob Stauffer, Oilers radio guy who called Fayne and Pouliot Signing like 3 days ago, and has hinted Petry might be on his way out.

o.o

This is a good day for oiler fans.

Certainly exciting. Some real depth here suddenly.

Miller ends up getting paid more per year than either Luongo or Schneider. hilarious. Well, at least he's used to facing a lot of rubber

Yeah, i think that is pretty funny.

Lots of twitter buzz about Patrick Berglund being on the move trade wise. Hmmm...

well there you have it, the final proof that Caps suck because their owner is an incompetent, nothing that either a new coach or a new gm could fix

I think Vancouver will become the NHL's new goalie graveyard. Philadelphia is packaging the sign as we speak lol

Unlike Lou though, its only 3 years, not 100 or whatever Lou signed
