@onionweigher Heading looks accurate

@OilersNation @bet365ca Remaining cap 😬 😬
Guys like Bunting need to come in on 1yr cheap-ish deals. McCann and Tippett are spend the cap types - guys like Bunting, Giroux, Tarasenko - no rush see how it plays out. Last season they landed Rosolvic on a value deal, even if he was dog 💩 in the playoffs

@LeafsUpdates21 I don’t agree with the being better, and both brought in for different needs/roles.
A+ on the Nurse trade (and return) and really like the Shea signing.
Raddysh is higher risk/reward but he fills a need if he can come close to last season, it’s a big win for Leafs.

@phillyrich1 @oilers_hub Does that reduce the amount of players they’ll have for a full(ish) line up?

@OILfanincowtown Tarasenko brings 5v5 scoring and isn’t the worst defensively
If they can get him in on a 1yr under $4M you do it all day.

About six weeks ago, I posted on Facebook that my 5-year-old son, Declan, had his hockey gear stolen from Legends Arena in Oshawa. I asked people to share the post in hopes it would be found. Sadly, the bag was never returned, and inside was his favorite Patrick Kane jersey. Declan was heartbroken, but in his usual way, he told me that even though he was sad, he hoped another little boy would get to play hockey with the equipment.

Today, Conlan’s Tyke 7 Oshawa Minor Generals team traveled to Pickering for a game against the Panthers. The coach of the Pickering Panthers heard about Declan’s missing gear and shared the story with his players and their families. Together, they raised money and surprised Declan with a new hockey bag, a box of hockey cards, a Sport Chek gift card, and a brand-new Patrick Kane jersey.

It was such an amazing act of kindness, sportsmanship, and community spirit. The coaches, players, and parents on that team had never met Declan before today, but they went out of their way to bring a smile to his face and remind us all how many good people there are in the hockey world.

A huge thank you to Brendan O’Hanley, Kevin O’Hanley, and the entire Pickering Panthers Tyke 7 hockey team for this incredible gesture.

@miguelouis @podgoalzin17 No, I call a career NHL regular‑season save percentage of .913 and a career GAA of 2.59, stability. Whole body of work tells a better picture than 1 season.

@Morons4Trump @oilers_hub Pre cap challenges I agree that would be a starting point. Not likely to happen but this deal does give a 1st (recoup picks), a hobey baker winner who was also a 1st rd pick, and a young dman ready to step in and play who has a high ceiling, both on a cheap contracts.

@JoePompliano Stick to the NFL
Watching 3 weeks of footie and being bias to your own nation isn’t it.
It’s not as laid out as you say it is.

@BleedOilBlue Me too - it’s easy to say you want something then when you get it you quickly realize well maybe not this …

@FB_FilmAnalysis Integrity doesn’t seem to matter to one nation - we get it, but this is the beautiful game, were integrity had meaning. The rule is the rule and Infantino is a cuck willing to circumvent the rules. It’s not about facing a team’s best players, terrible and useless take.
