We are now in the world where an Assistant General Manager & advisor won the Canes the Cup.
Happy for both of those guys but let's take it down a few notches.
To every Edmonton Oilers Media member that ever argued with @mc79hockey/Tyler Dellow:
You just lost all those arguments and Dellow just won the Stanley Cup.
Fully expect the Oilers to go after Desharnais, Murphy & Oleksiak via free agency. Depending on what happens with Emberson, who may be included in a trade to get it over the top, they could sign all three. Wouldn't be surprised if they land two of the three.
Gotta give Marsch credit. The duo of David & Larin hasnt worked & he left the latter out of the starting 11.
Bringing in a guy late, who's not happy about being left out of the starting lineup & going against a tired opposition, was beautifully played.
Canada needed this badly.
Raptors fans have to be in a tough spot when it comes to OG.
Most wanted him moved when he was but no one was happy with the return.
On the cusp of a championship and Finals MVP, those who were balking at his salary demands have to feel a tad silly.
Per sources, the Kings and Penguins are two teams Nurse would accept a trade to.
More on that, Hellebuyck, and other chatter across the NHL in today’s latest piece thefourthperiod.com/pagnotta…
If the Oilers are able to move Nurse to the Sharks, any deal should include them aquiring the last year of Logan Couture on LTIR at an $8M cap hit. Not sure San Jose would play ball but if it were up to me, that would be all I'd be looking for in return.
Good on Nurse, for taking the time and coming to the decision he did. It's probably the best for all parties and hopefully Darnell goes somewhere and figures it out. Oilers fans will have to find a new whipping boy.
Oilers have been given an opportunity to play dumb about this entire Babcock situation with Columbus being worse than we think. Take the olive branch and walk away.
The good ol' amateur hour approach surrounding all things Oilers since being bounced from the playoffs is rather alarming. Figure it out, do your business and do it quietly. It really shouldn't be that difficult.
You gotta feel happy for Knicks fans but that is self-destruction at it's finest. San Antonio literally gave the game away.
Please, no more of Wemby being the best player in the game. The guy sat back & watched his team implode. Grow a pair & stop watching others take shots.
I mentioned weeks ago that if the Oilers were looking at previous Cup winners, Darryl Sutter could be looked at. Given the choice between him and Babcock, give me Darryl.
Like most, Babcock wouldn't have been on my list as the Oilers next coach. I'm curious if he was always the target.
We all assumed it was Cassidy but all we knew for certain, they asked for permission.
Create this mess surrounding Vegas & slide in good ol' Mike last minute 🤷
Just getting caught up on the Babcock news and listening to Stauffer.
Bob has been on this being a possibility for probably a month or so.
He didnt pull any punches today. Interesting decision by the Oilers organization. We shall see how this plays out.
Lewis Hamilton says there should be a limit to how much wealth one person can have
"One of the things that I struggle with every day is that there is such a disparity between the wealthy and the poor”
"When you drive around LA there's still so many people living on the streets. You shouldn't be able to have billions"
"I think there should be a limit to how much you can have because there's enough to go around for everyone”
