@Steele131 I don't think Rielly is the better player age seems to be hitting him harder as well.

@ConorOrConor @akaRCN you are only saving 2.75 that isn't a top line player. This Nurse trade has been under thought by a bunch of people that think just moving him off the team makes the team better.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

@ConorOrConor @akaRCN You still need to replace Nurse on the D. just getting cap space isn't a win if the replacement isn't in place.

Nick Kypreos: It’s a lot more likely Jordan Kyrou will be traded this summer than most other players on the Blues’ roster - Sportsnet (5/27)

@yolo_pinyato I am sure next year Lindy Ruff will have no struggles either.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

This is what Bob Stauffer was referring to on Oilers Now about not hearing Owen Tippett linked to Edmonton except on this clip. He didn't name the show it was one.

Owen Tippett to the Oilers? https://t.co/iO55dLv1eg

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

The dumbest conclusion you can reach from this Vegas run is that Bruce cassidy isn't a good coach because of the change. It is still his system. In fact I am more positive Cassidy is a good coach.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

@JFreshHockey @yolo_pinyato Yes 21% first year then went onto average 9.5% for his NHL career.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

How much of the penalty kill is personnel and how much of it is system? Since most teams seem to use the same system maybe coaching should also be factored in.

@TheLineBlender @tyleryaremchuk I was thinking Heinalo would be a guy to take a flyer on if we moved out Nurse for the bottom pair.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

Interesting because @tyleryaremchuk actually came up with a good trade proposal.

Edm Trade:
Ike Howard
Jake Walman

Philly Trades:
Owen Tippett

"I'm at the stage of, no trade proposal is a bad conversation." - @tyleryaremchuk

Mentally, where are you at in the Oilers off-season?!

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

@TheLineBlender @tyleryaremchuk I just don't see the team being able to get an upgrade at 2RW unless Kyrou picks up. Or we get DeBrusk.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

@akaRCN Funny I haven't got to 32 thoughts but Stauff just brought it up.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

Also the Bruce Cassidy question was asked three times only person who seemed to think Cassidy will get permission was John Shannon. Said it could be either draft or free agency but eventually.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

This sounds horrendous for fans. I can't see how this is good for anyone honestly.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

John Shannon has some interesting comments on the new TV deal. Sounds like Rogers wants to sell Monday and Wednesday games. But those people want playoff games part of the deal. Also sounds like CBC might be cut out. June 3 2026 Oilers Now.

@BlueBullet1981 @NHLFoley I swear they got Benoit Pouliot to shut him up.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

@TheLineBlender @tyleryaremchuk Yeah I agree with all that. But if you want to get a top 6 RW you are going to have to pay a price in the trade market.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

@tyleryaremchuk Sorry I thought it was a decent value trade that is lacking on twitter right now and would be worth the discussion but sadly we are still on twitter.
I do think Oilers fans have to get used to this cost if they want to upgrade the top 6.

[Nicholas @knockoutpanda]

@canuckshotpuck @akaRCN I think you are thinking of Kalle Larsson.
