@KauseKyle @TravisDakin The value contract ship sailed the day it was signed! 😜

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

If the rumors are true Ill grade the Oilers day as Cossa 👍, Babcock 💩 (I woulda waited on Cassidy).

- move Nurse
- sign Murphy/Dickenson to 2 year deals
- find a top line 2 way wingers
- load up on college and euro prospects
- keep the powder (cap space) for deadline

🚀

@oilerjay 💩 means I agree with you. UFAs will still chose Edmonton cuz of 97/29 imo

[Murat Ates @WPGMurat]

Edmonton's desperation to go brand name, despite how broken down/rusted out, in what's become essentially a one-year McDavid window, is perfect.

It's been the Oilers' way since they won the 2015 draft lottery and hired Peter Chiarelli to celebrate it.

Perfect coda, no notes.

@EthanJMarcoux Samdesk is a must have on your list!

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

Nelson lets go!

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

@JasonGregor Good article. My prios are:

1) find a defensive top 6F so they can put Nuge on 3rd line. Find the next Hyman who wins pucks and does the little things (like 92). 97/29 will make it a value contract
2) move Nurse or Wallman
3) give Parkatti 2m and a pick to find a goalie

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

@OilersNation @tyleryaremchuk @bet365ca No. The type of player that do well with 29/97 are 2 way types (18, 92, 93, Perry). Get more of those.

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

@HernanDaMan Ya the coverage up the middle was scary at times. They moved the ball much better in the 2nd. I liked Nelson as well.

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

Very informative!

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

I thought he was the most noticeable 🇨🇦 player tonight

[OneSoccer @onesoccer]

So… After his goal vs. Uzbekistan, should Jayden Nelson be Marcelo Flores’ replacement at the World Cup? 👀🤔

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

Ok its good enough. Go Canada!!! 🇨🇦

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

Id have a hard time seeing this soccer game tonight going through. This weather imo is worse than the Nov game that was -10 with snow.

[watty9 @hockeysw]

The cost of playing hockey in this country will continue to push Canadian kids to the sidelines and allow the rest of the world to catch up.

[Thomas Drance @ThomasDrance]

Logan Stankoven, 23, and Jackson Blake, 22, will combine to take up $11.1 million against the salary cap for the next eight(!) years.

Whether you’re a contender or a rebuilder, this is the level of efficiency that you’re up against into the mid-point of the next decade.

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

👏 congrats to Michael!!!

[Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers]

The #Oilers have announced a number of hockey operations promotions including Michael Parkatti to Vice President, Analytics & Technology plus former @EdmOilKings President & GM Kirt Hill to Assistant GM, Player Procurement. https://t.co/DChRYuRdJQ

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

@Josephk90 @KevinMcCurdy Getting it right is a real top 6F and a goalie. I think D is good enough to get them to the TDD (pending Nurse decision)

Arvidsson one could blame on fit or KK's usage. He had a good year in Boston.

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

The gap btw spending your money on Marner, Hart vs say Wallman, Mangiapange, Frederik and Jarry is why I think the Oilers can be right back in it next year.

Given Bowmans body of work so far I fail to see why they think hes the right guy to call the shots.

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

@GoilersGunners @KevinMcCurdy If wheelers an idiot, who do you suggest that has Oilers ranked highly?

Letting Holloway walk
The Jary/Kulak trade
Frederik contract

[Sean Solbak @frozenpools]

@KevinMcCurdy Definitely more to the Marner and Hart moves. I see no reason not to give up a Nick Roy calibre player and sit Marner in a room with 97/18 and shoot your shot. But also likely he wanted out of the Canadian spotlight
