Oilers: Biggest Fraud in SCF history

[TheJackBurton]

Goaltending pure and simple. Bob was better than Skinner.

I believe the next critical step for the Oilers to become true contenders is securing a reliable, high-caliber goaltender. If I were in Stan Bowman’s position, I’d strongly consider trading a first-round pick to acquire one. With the depth of prospects in the system, the Oilers could build a compelling trade package to address this key need.

They don't have a first rounder until 2027. Based on more than a few publications have a prospect pool ranked in the low 20's, right around 28 or so.

They have a few prospects, nothing elite, and not much other teams would actually want.

The good news is a decent goaler doesn't cost much, the bad news is teams aren't trading them.

I would trade them Binnington for a couple of their top young players, like Holloway and Broberg.

Oh wait…….

Man if Army could pull off that trade....

Substitute some picks instead of Binnington, and you got a deal!

I mean you could, but do you really think a team would take a 2nd and a 3rd rounder for two first round picks just off their entry level deals?

The Oil shouldn't have made it out of round 1. The Kings dropped the ball with one of the worst plays by Byfield seen in a long time at the end of that game 4. If Byfield doesn't make that play, the Oil aren't even in the conversation. But that's hockey. They got momentum going after that and covered their weaknesses for 2 rounds. But they got utterly dominated for 6 games where they probably lost 15 of 18 periods (not including the OT's). They legit were getting crushed most of the series and found a couple ways to tie it up in bursts.

I was hoping for an electric series that went 7. 3 of the first 4 games were entertaining even with how odd they were. But games 5 and 6 were so bad, it really makes you wonder how the Oil got there. It was one of the worst Stanley Cup finals in memory. Lots of questions to be had in the Oil locker room. It's one thing to lose, and it's one thing to lose similar to last year where you clawed your way back in. But to go out just getting thrown to the curb and swatted like a bug. That has to hurt for 2 of the best players hockey has seen.

If the Leafs don’t hit the post in Game 3 the Panthers don’t beat them.

Neat hey

And the Oilers ended up throttling the Kings. Keep up old timer.

You still need depth to win a Cup ... (Oil don't have it)

You need to have a shut down line ... (Oil doesn't)

Still need to adhere to a game plan ... (Oil strayed. Fla didn't)

Still need to be disciplined... (Kane.)

Still need a timely save... (Skinner / Pickard didn't. Bob did.)

Still need to take it up to the line, and don't go over it ... (Fla did this to perfection. And it frustrated the Oilers.)


Oilers aren't a fraud. They panicked in much the same way DeBoer panicked in Game 7 of the Conf Finals.

Oilers should build around Draisaitl and trade McDavid, Go with the team approach.

Which has nothing to do with my statement.

Substitute "flawed" for "fraud" of you prefer.

You are so desperate to score points. It isn't working. Run along little boy and let the objective adults converse.
