Oilers sign Hyman to a 7 x 5.5M deal, re-sign Barrie to a manageable 3 x 4.5M deal and deal playoff scapegoat Ethan Bear to Carolina. |

Jonathan Willis pointed out that McDavid's metrics are actually take a dip whenever he's on the ice with Barrie. That's not what I would have expected. Thought for certain Seattle would be interested as Barrie grew up not far from there, but as it turns out Larsson was the Oilers d-man they were interested in. |

Was hoping GMJB would pick up Bear and have a 2nd unit pairing called "Huggy Bear"... |

The Foegele/Bear deal might turn out to be one of those moves where both sides get what they want. In Foegele, the Oil finally have the bottom six catalyst they've been looking for for years. Meanwhile, Bear looks like a cost-effective Dougie replacement in Lina. |

Woof. Can't imagine having a worse NHL debut than Dmitri Samorukov did last night. Got absolutely scorched for two goals against in less than three minutes of ice time, gets benched for the rest of the game. |

This team desperately needs a goalie. Maybe that goalie can be Carey Price. |

I hope they hire Babcock. Like, if you really, really want Connor to put in that trade request, by all means, get Saskatchewan Ditka. |

Kenny fucked up big time not doing everything imaginable to snag a legit franchise netminder. |

Team defence sucks too. Almost as if Keith was bad and everyone saw it coming. |

You didn't think he could repeat his .923 in 32 games from last season??? Wings have got a Tomas Greiss for them with a lower cap hit than Koskinen. Send over picks with Kosk. |

Send over picks with Kosk. The question isn't that, the question is whether or not an already injury-prone netminder who's roughly two months away from 40 and has already missed significant time this season can even be relied upon. And while he put up .923 in 32, he went 0-4 with a .912 percentage last playoffs. Not horrid numbers by any means, but if you got a team that wants to run and gun all the time, you need someone better. Greiss to me is just more of the same. Kenny needs to do way better. Unfortunately, this last offseason, he looked at the awful team defense, and the shitty goaltending, and concluded that what this team needed was...Zach Hyman and a washed-up Duncan Keith. |

I hope you know I was being entirely sarcastic there! Of course he wasn't going to repeat last season. I'm entirely fine if the Oilers want to do more of the same and give Detroit assets to do it. |

And yes I am perfectly fine with the brain trust in Edmonton being handed a generational talent and another elite-level scoring forward and completely wasting their respective primes. |

Brutal 6-0 loss to the Panthers. Their season has fallen off the rails. |

They started off so hot, you had to know it would fall apart. |

Their even strength numbers have been terrible from the start, they were getting by with an insanely good power play and goaltending that was good enough. Once both of those two things came crashing back to Earth, well, we're seeing the results. Fun fact, Boy Genius over at The Athletic pointed out that RYAN HARTMAN has roughly the same point totals at even strength as Connor McDavid. |

I'm hearing Darryl Katz is now getting involved, so something may happen...I'm not sure. Feels like the Connor McDavid trade request is inevitable at this point. |
