Kinda feels like the @EdmontonOilers think they can just flip the switch when they’re in trouble. It’s worked before—but the @AnaheimDucks are playing like they’ve got nothing to lose. What could possibly go wrong?
The infraction was never the issue. He was in the wrong and he behaved like a Friday night beer leaguer. He brought on the attention and has no one to blame but himself.
I’m not a curler but based on a strict reading of the rules and irrefutable video evidence, Kennedy was in the wrong - deliberate or not. It doesn’t matter. His subsequent behaviour reflects poorly on Team Canada.

@dstaples@edmontonjournal I don’t understand the hesitation. RNH and Roslovic should switch positions. Nuge would be an outstanding 3C and Roslovic doesn’t belong at Centre. McDavid & Hyman will do just fine with Roslovic. Why is this so hard to see?
@dstaples Rob Brown said Frederic doesn’t have it in his DNA to be the kind of player the Oilers thought they were signing. I agree with him. It doesn’t say much for the Oilers pro scouting. Big miss!

@JasonGregor Not sure he was ever given a fair shot. Hard to make an impact when you’re in and out of the lineup like a revolving door. From a hockey standpoint, cracking the bottom six shouldn’t be that hard. Cap-wise maybe, but the bottom six hasn’t exactly been lighting it up.
@Bob_Stauffer@EdmontonOilers I don’t understand. We have the pieces that allow RNH to center his own line. Strength down the middle. Balanced production. Shouldn’t that be the goal?
@dstaples@edmontonjournal I don’t understand these line up choices. Pulling Frederic makes sense. But replacing him with Lazar while sending Hutson to Bakersfield makes the team better? If your bottom 6 aren’t producing why not slot in some skilled kids who are lighting up the AHL? Where’s the downside?
@kennethdavid@inthe306@Martyupnorth Let me explain it this way. By taking the $10 million you are assuming the cash flow stream will be worth zero after 2.3 years. $10 million / $4.4 million per year = 2.3 years. I’d do that deal with you in a heartbeat!
@kennethdavid@inthe306@Martyupnorth You might want to brush up on time value of money. A true perpetuity of $500/hour (24×365) generates ~$4.4M per year. Even using a conservative, market-standard 10% discount rate, that cash-flow stream could be sold today for >$40M.
