@frank_seravalli@PierreVLeBrun You're still waiting for the inexcusable actions from Babcock from your impeccable source that won't allow him to coach anymore.
@jimmathesonnhl Hasn't hit double digit goals in 6 seasons. Has missed 25 games or more 7 times in 11 seasons. He does show up in the playoffs, but I think 2-3 million can be better spent.
@nielsonTSN1260 I don't disagree with that. But once 97 and 29 are gone, the Oilers are just another hockey team. Maybe it's all part of the plan, good plan or bad plan lol, but if it leads to a McDavid extension and a Katz 250 billion net income for another 10 years, let's let er rip lol.
@JasonGregor The amount outside media talks about the Oilers is hilarious, LeBrun just posted about Leon wanting out. 0 vitriol about Dalas crashing out, or if Tampa loses, none. Top team revenue wise, 14 playoff rounds in 5 years, 8 straight years in the playoffs...but somehow we're fucked?
@shaynagoldman_ As if his play the last few games wasn't telling enough, to be a game-time decision in this situation is pretty telling of his injury status. But the bigger point still has to be complete mismanagement of this roster around the big guns.
@shaynagoldman_ Hintz injury obviously contributes to Dallas facing elimination tonight, but it's not the only reason. So if/when the Stars get the boot, higher ups have to take a long hard look past that injury and at management's decisions over the last year+ that got them here.
@Kgill39 I'm am Oilers fan, and I think he deserves to chase a cup, in Edmonton or elsewhere, his legacy is on the line. But didn't he write a letter to the Tribune a month ago saying he can't picture himself winning a cup anywhere else but Edmonton? No one knows what he wants but him.
@BleedOilBlue These guys have played 11 playoff rounds in 4 seasons, their top guys played in the Four Narions and Olympics, they're exhausted. Guys get paid after good seasons/post seasons so there's roster turnover, I think we need to calm down a little bit.
