The real and only reason the Edmonton Oilers have not won a Stanley Cup during the McDavid era is simple: The goal song. They can change all the coaches they want but there's no championship to be won when that song plays for you.

Foley@NHLFoley·
I can not physically fit Ken Holland's 26-year career (since 2000) in the cards. What I can fit is a great display of team-based drafting He picked for the Red Wings - a European champion who lean heavily on some of the best, most tenured scouts in the biz. We see that reflected

@NHLFoley I’m very curious about Kenny Holland. Worst. Drafter. Ever.

@Madi39 I am not sure why this is controversial Dickinson, Kapanen and Murphy don't count Nurse for Shea has to be lateral at best We lost Roslovic ~ 20G ES scorer only addition is Frederick the goalie ~ 30 games Joseph ~ PKing 4th liner Most of the improvement is internal

With Mantha signed, I’m all in on Tarasenko to Edmonton. Get him on a cheap deal and he can play Top 6 minutes until the deadline where we acquire a real forward and he shifts to the 3rd line. He was on pace for 50 points last year and can score #LetsGoOilers

@BlueBullet1981 After, Levi and Andersen, they have 4 other goalies under contract who could easily serve as backup for a game to get through an illness situation. If Jarry isn't the starter, there's no reason he needs to dress if the other two are healthy options.

For those saying Oilers can just sit Jarry in the playoffs, you must present me with your strategy if Frederic is in the lineup and one of the 2 goalies has an illness that emerges post 5 hour to puck drop-off deadline.
Blue Bullet Brad@BlueBullet1981

Using PuckGM, adding a 3M UFA, waiving Janmark, and trading Stastney leave the Oilers with 3.5M in cap space and 6.8M in playoff cap space. This means that at the deadline, if you moved, for example, Emberson and Joseph, the Oilers could add a F and a D worth 9M in combined AAV.

@TopDownHockey In franchise mode, have the ability to start in previous years and redraft or match offer sheets that obviously should have been matched.

If the Oilers vets are indeed committed to playing off the puck, it shouldn't be a problem to give Howard some time in the top six to begin the season. If it doesn't work, then you look to your list of teams with poor playoff outlooks who also have wingers available with term

@builder56207 This is flat cap era thinking. That era is over. Cap space doesn't have the value that everyone's brains have been wired to measure it over the last six years. CAR just won the cup with 8m in cap space. It's more important to put guys in positions to succeed. Let Howard play.

@Oil_Drop @dstaples The 2022 Avs lost a total of four games on their way to the Cup. Do we think any less of them? Handicapping Cup wins is a ridiculous effort. There's nothing easy about it. Ever. Having enough left is what makes it so hard to win. There are no asterisks engraved with the names.

@oiler @dstaples Great, the actual matchups were favourable. That's not their fault but doesnt change it. Regular season numbers against the league, doesn't tell us how a series will go. I'd argue Ottawa was their toughest matchup & Vegas didn't have a lot left. Canes 100% deserved to win

@Oil_Drop @dstaples Here are the regular season rankings in 5v5 xGF% for each of their opponents: OTT - 3rd, 55.6% PHI - 7th, 52.24% MTL - 20, 49.6% VGK - 4th, 54.39% CAR was 2nd, behind COL, at 56.4% They won the Cup. Their dominance shows how good they were, not how "easy" their path was.

@dstaples I get everyone wants to give Carolina their flowers for being this consistent club year in & year out. Fair enough. I can't remember a recent club with an easier path to a Stanley Cup. It's not on them as you play who's infront of you but all the matchups were rather favourable.

@Asnow119 They have a ton of waivers exempt forwards, so could in theory go 12 + 8 + + 3 to start the season and bring guys up to fill injuries to the forward group.

Love the depth, but you can only carry 7, and I count 8 D. So, feel like im waiting on something to happen here. Especially when you intentionally plan to carry 3 goalies.
Edmonton Oilers@EdmontonOilers

Serving up some Sunday signings ✍️ The #Oilers have signed Shakir Mukhamadullin to a two-year contract extension with an AAV of $ 1.75 million & Spencer Stastney to a one-year contract extension with an AAV of $1.525 million.

@AzorcanGlobal The other reason I wouldn't be surprised they carry 8 defensemen to start the season - look at how many waivers exempt forwards they have. Tons of options there. But on D, not many. So when they need a guy to step in, especially now that they are playing 84 games, they have it.

@AzorcanGlobal I think they will be load managing Ekholm during the regular season, thats why they have 5 left shot guys. Also, Joseph is a lock to make the roster. DJ Smith knows and loves him. Joseph & Dickenson will be 3rd line and 1st line PK. So my guess is this is the starting roster.

@Oil_Drop @Kgill39 The last time they panicked during a period of rapidly rises costs, they signed Nurse to a buyout proof contract that overpaid him by at least 2 million a year and included too much player trade protection. EDM is lucky Nurse agreed to a move when he did. There's time still w MS

@Kgill39 It would have to be a drastic overpay for his camp to even consider. From an Oilers perspective, not sure I'd be willing to go there just yet.

After witnessing the utter stupidity Verbeek is putting the Ducks through, shouldn’t the Oilers lock up Matt Savoie now?

@VanLathan A English League team will be the easiest entry point. First decide if you want a London area team or not. If not, find a town that best matches your values and go for them. Consider anyone in Premiere or in top half of the Champ league. Make sure to learn who owns the club too.

Okay. It’s happening. I need a soccer team. Seriously I need a side. A kit. I want to say “fair play,” I want to wake up early and go to the bar. I want to know what “transfer fee,” and “on loan” mean. What’s a good team?

@oiler The management knew the rule perfectly. A fan read incorrect information on Wikipedia (which I corrected when I found it), and then spread the misinformation on Twitter. 80 games played never had anything to do with Group 2 RFA. It's been the same for several decades now.

@JeanFrancoisCBA Yeah I was going to tag you into this but eventually found the language in the CBA (v 2022). The way it's worded I wouldn't be surprised if Oilers management at the time didn't understand it either, not just their fans.

@oiler @McBilly_Son @PuckPedia To be eligible to be Group 2 RFA, you need enough pro season. Broberg and Gauthier needed 3 pro seasons. One of them played 10 professional games in each of their 3 seasons while the other didn’t do it. Broberg was a Group 2 RFA, Gauthier is a 10,2(c)

I’m not surprised they went for it, I’m stunned Carlsson signed it. Was he that unhappy in Anaheim? $18 million is a lotta money though. Let’s hope Anaheim either declines to match or they work out a trade

@McBilly_Son @PuckPedia Actually, those rules determine the offer must be a one way deal. 80 games is the threshold for games played in first 3 seasons. I can't find a link to it, but its a number Oilers fans know well because they let Broberg play in those meaningless late season games to get over 80
