If we are signing players because of friendships still, lol Brown will hit Father Time quick
The defense were the weakest part of the Oilers game, that's where they need changes
Coaching changes, i think so. Coming out of your own end needs to be more than shooting the puck down the ice hoping our forward touches it on the way into the offensive zone and then chase it. The Oilers couldn't do anything through the neutral zone. Problem? Coaching or skill level.
Make the stand-up goalie great again.
First dump Schwartz ffs. Bouchard kane skinner should be gone. Perry will prob resign but he was one that showed up at the end.
Definitely would be happy seeing Brown and Perry back. Brown is a solid penalty killer and was actually great in regular season and portion of the playoffs. We all know why we want Perry back right? Lol.
Goalies, not sure. But pickard makes more sense if gonna be changing one out or replacing on roster. Skinner still has a ceiling he has yet to reach being he is still a young goalie. No on Gibson, but someone like hofer from st louis, or lyon, or even Demko if could make money work.
I think it's reasonable to think that McDavid will sign, but not long term – my guess is that he'll do like a 3-4 yr then see after that.
The nice thing about having all the same defense is that we dont need to get defense at trade deadline so we could focus more on forwards at that time
The oiler’s don’t have the money to change anything
I think moving on from Kane and Arvidsson should happen. I'm a fan of Kane but his negative performance in the final was enough for a must move on situation. I'm not a fan of Skinner he just doesn't have the agility and quickness for my liking, so moving on is something I'm in favor of. I think we missed Holloway, now we need a burner who can bring what Holloway did. Would like if they could move Nurse but I doubt that will happen with his ticket. He could be harder to play against in my opinion. Make him watch Chris Pronger clips all summer or better yet hire Chris to advise Nurse.
The Oilers problem is lack of cap space. Any increase is going to Bouchard so making changes won’t be easy. I’m not saying to do this but management should be examining the possibility of trading McDavid to get the depth players this team desperately needs. I’m not sure it’s feasible but would be interesting to think about.
😂how meny p did mcdavid brin on finals😂.
Barkov is animal
Face the facts
The only change needed is in goal. Edmonton needs a goalie…currently 2 above average goalies.
Imagine you're McDavid relaxing at the Canada day BBQ when you check your bank balance and notice it just went up 11 million dollars. Now you're thinking, which other team can I go to that has gotten close to the Cup recently other than Edmonton, where my teammates are and who will undoubtedly offer 15 or 16 million per year.
here is a idea, how many years have GMs, Coaches, and whever runs this team is trying to put together a winner with McDavid and Leon. To many as far as I am concerned expert hockey minds cant put a winning team together, so my suggestion is hire AI put it a office and have it run the team and you can pay McDavid what he is worth and forget all the expert hockey minds who dont know a da m thing
A new goalie coach to help Skinner learn how to use his stick hopefully . Wtf
I wonder if Anaheim would be interested in Kane. It’s California, I could see Kane accepting a trade there. I also wonder about Radko Gudas. He’s a PKer, is intimidating to play against and is a shutdown style player. Like Kane, he has one year left, but for 1.125 Million less. Oilers would have to add more if Gibson is involved.
As a goalie I hate when critics and fans blame everything on the goalie (i.e. my Red Wings) as any NHL goalie that has laced his skates up in the modern era is 9 times better than any of the critics have ever played against. That being said Skinner looked out of place in several key moments and I don't blame him. That position is mental and when you don't know who is starting game 6 it shows that the team has a lack of confidence in you, how are you supposed to have confidence in yourself. I've said the problem with Canadian hockey is Canadians and their toxicity (see Toronto) and I am glad that the community you have here isn't nearly as toxic as across the river from Detroit but when the fan base hates you and management has no confidence in you, if you don't have that internal drive you don't have a chance. Just saying maybe Skinner is out of that drive and it would be a good thing for him and you guys to see different faces in the locker room.
As to McDavid's extension, I am interested to see if he's going to grab the money or do a more team friendly deal to leave cap space for depth. I can't imagine him in any other jersey except Edmonton. I say this because personally I think you ran out of depth, lets face it Panthers had Marchand on the third line. You had Jeff Skinner, who had less goals than Wallman. I hope he takes a team friendly deal and all the hockey fans get to see the best player in the world hoist the best trophy in the world.
Defence and some of those lack luster forwards should go, Jeff skinner was the only
One who showed up in the final game, Bouchard or nurse one goes one stays pick one same as Pickard and stu pick one
Oilers need a M letter Goalie or a F
conor brown is needed, just get healthy
1:40 The Oilers would be absolutely nuts to not make changes to the blue line because, well, the team allowed, in all six games of this past Stanley Cup final, at least three goals, including at least four goals in each of the last five games.
Gibson is certainly not the answer; goalie coach most definitely. All of Edmonton's goalies for the past 11 years have not been crap. Who's the common denominator? Trade Skinner and he'll become a star somewhere else.
Connor Brown is definitely a keeper, hardest working guy on the ice.
Like twice to the finals should mean they are one or two peices away from winning the cup ..if mcdavid returns
You make a good point. I believe that Edmonton had the better players this year, but Florida had the better team. Teams win cups. Maybe a different strategy is needed from the coaching staff.
They need a Scott Stevens type defenceman. They need toughness. Imagine if Gretzky was nudged by a player like Brad Marshand like MacDavid was!? Semenko or McSorley would have pounded him into the middle of next season.
What about Joel hoffer? St. Louis RFA
Get rid of Bouchard !
There was nothing positive about what McDavid said especially if you read between the lines. He has a pretty good chance of not signing an extension. He would be nuts to stay in Edmonton
Demko ! And he’s had lots of time to rest 😂
Package skinner & Bouchard for a goalie & offense…… Thats the only way
Nurse can clear some cap space…
Thanks Patrick!
Oilers need defensive coaching changes asp or this happens if they make it far again, they also need physical additions to protect offensive players, Knobluach is a great coach still new to NHL defensive toughness and grit required to win final games of cups series.
The Oilers failed to score goals so let's trade our goalies for a goalie who's basically retired.
Gibson sounds like a Campbell mistake. I have no issue with the defense except Nurse over paid and Bouchard joining that club. Goaltending coach a must. Need youth and speed in the bottom 6 and a winger for Drai. Brown was ok. Podz was good and improving. Thanks for the update
Gibson is old fogey! And he is made of glass. No thanks!
Pickard is better imo. Trade Skinner.
Why is Dustin Schwartz there still?
Zach hyman was the biggest missing piece. Everything changed after he got hurt. The hitting stopped. From everyone. The lines changed a lot because of him. He was the catalyst.
Mcfinalsloser is a one dimensional player …offense only. Spend money on more well rounded players.
Think about it. Our defence if remains mainly the same. They will actually have a chance to finally click. Big changes last year didn't give the Defensive core to gell. Having familiarity with your team mates is big. To me it makes a bit of sense.
Darcy Kuemper
Hire Bill Zito as general manager.
I like Stu. Having been in two cup finals is a pretty big asset. If McDavid doesn't stand behind him and wants a change, I can respect that. But as a fan I 100% believe Stu has what it takes to get us all the way next year.
I think keeping him (and Bouchard) is the right call they're good, they're young, they might be great.
Like many people, I'd like to try and part ways with Kane, Henrique, and Arvidsson. Nothing against them, just that we seem to be over cap and getting under it without moving at least one of them or trading Bouchard is probably impossible.
A better goalie is needed and they need to get rid of Bouch!
If brown and Perry are willing to accept team-friendly contracts I'd be happy to see them stay. I think Jeff Skinner, Arvidsson, and Kane are going to have to go for cap space reasons.
