@TheMrWilhauk My concern is do we actually think Stan Bowman can better spend 9.25 mill elsewhere.

History has shown that that’s far from a slam dunk.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@_TheIronCowboy The rumoured numbers on both players are bizarre. How is Murphy getting only 3.5 while Dickinson, a 4C on the wrong side of 30, is getting 5+?

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@Kgill39 @klimaslid Fans haven’t been this aligned on something since the Trent Frederic extension.

@mane8610 @MikeGil03013681 @FriedgeHNIC Not yet…

@nielsonTSN1260 If you did a poll like this on every Oilers move, “fan consensus” would ouperform every Oilers GM of the McDavid era.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@FriedgeHNIC Not hard to identify top coaches.

Use xGF% and compare to some metric of roster quality. Completely ignore goaltending.

Berube is most certainly not the answer here.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@dantencer @Lowetide To me, Dickinson is the buyer beware for Bowman. Depth player that he just paid up for and is on the wrong side of 30.

4C moving forward which is great but not at the rumoured $.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@dantencer @Lowetide I’d go hard for Alex Tuch and failing that, dabble in the discount bin.

Pay for top of the lineup players and squeeze the bottom for 6 figure contracts. Pretty simple.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@jmmaczsports @AzorcanGlobal Dickinson is a stretch as a 3C even.

Give me Ryan O’Reilly in that spot.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@futurdgduCH @HommedePaix1 @akaRCN Agreed, you shouldn’t have to give up your 5th best asset for the best player on the planet.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@Petespucks @Oil_Drop They should play the duration of all PP’s and zero PK.

It’s the PK minutes that are exhausting and unnecessary.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@Sumit_Tripathi_ I’d wager a significant sum of money that his next job is as an NHL assistant coach.

Doesn’t have the presence to be a head coach above junior hockey.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@TheLineBlender Kulak’s getting 5-6 AAV this summer. Great player.

The correct move (in hindsight) was shipping out Kulak and keeping Broberg.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@Steele131 The guy was an absolute dog every year in the playoffs. Not to mention a solid 4-5 every regular season before this small sample. Probably best not to throw those guys into already lopsided trades.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@dstaples @KevinMcCurdy @50in39 I’m no Nurse fan but do we really trust Stan Bowman to better spend 9.25 million bucks elsewhere?

For reference, look at what he’s paying Jarry and Frederic combined.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@itsWozzz It will be nice to have a coach with some form of presence behind the bench. The “corpse” was funny when they were winning.

Not having your players back gets old real quick when the team is mediocre.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@thackattack41 And it will.

Zero chance you can let him make the McDavid trade. This mess is primarily his own doing.

[Lessy @Lessy19]

@jimmathesonnhl Woodcroft should never have been fired.

Knoblauch is not NHL head coach material.
