🔸🔹THE NUGE🔹🔸
Not much interest in Evander Kane around the league at the price point in which he is asking. I believe this is why Holland let him gauge the market. FWIW I think Kane ends up staying in blue and orange.
#Oilers
Hearing discussions between Oilers and the Evander Kane on contract extensions…
Kane Group asking for 7 million x 5
Oilers are looking to offer 7 million x 3
I assume they meet somewhere in the middle around 4 years.
#Oilers
Ken Holland needs to be fired. This
#Oilers
team went to the conference finals last season despite him being GM. It was McDavid and one legged Draisaitl that carried this team there. They need defensive help like 4 years ago. Make a trade. Picks & prospects don’t help win cups.
Marc-Andre Fleury isn’t the only
#Blackhawk
Ken Holland has inquired about.
For the record, Dylan Strome is very close friends with Connor McDavid. Also fits the role of top 6 winger and/or 3rd line centre.
#Oilers
There are some rumblings out there that Sidney Crosby would waive his NMC to play for only TWO teams, both in the western conference. I know one for a fact that one of those 2 teams is the Colorado Avalanche. One can only assume the other team is Edmonton??
#Oilers
A lot of talk around the organization about moving Zack Kassian straight across for Tristan Jarry. A Jarry-Smith tandem is what Holland has is mind.
#Oilers
Just over pay for the guy. Who fucking cares about first rounders? How often do they really turn out? Not very often.
3 first rounders, Broberg, Bourgault and Rodrigue for Saros. Is any oiler fan really saying no? Are Nashville fans saying no to 3 first rounders and 3 prospects?
Don’t be THAT fan spouting off to trade Campbell because Skinner is playing well. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having 2 very good goaltenders.
#LetsGoOilers
If Holland is gonna trade Puljujarvi and Broberg. Chychrun or Patty Kane better be coming back the other way. It’s literally the only way you win trading those 2.
#Oilers
I’ve always thought that players hated it here in Edmonton. But after a conversation with Hyman last week I’m starting to think otherwise. He may be going home for the summer, but man does that guy love it here and you can tell he enjoys being an Oiler.
#Oilers
Be worried Oilers fans. Mark my words, without Vinny, the Rangers are going to FEAST on the Oilers PK. It’s going to be be a rough one tonight. Bringing back 5’6 Yamamoto and taking 6’1 Holloway and 6’7 Desharnais against a team with head hunter Jacob Trouba? Yikes.
#Oilers
Darnell Nurse has been playing excellent hockey. This is strictly and solely a Darnell Nurse appreciation tweet because lord knows he gets it from fans when he’s not playing well. Let’s show him some love now that he is.
#LetsGoOilers
Draisaitl is 3rd in the league in turnovers and McDavid is 18th. I would like to see less razzle dazzle from 29 & 97. This is asinine. They keep saying how individual stats don’t matter to them yet they refuse to acknowledge the defensive side of the game.
#Oilers
The thing about Nurse is that he’s not even a brawler anymore. He’s super soft on guys. He used to blow guys up and then beat them silly. Haven’t seen that Nurse is years.
He used to have that Scott Steven’s/Chris Pronger mean side to him.
Now he’s just Tyler Myers.
#Oilers
I think Oilers Nation would be more than okay with parting with Yamamoto and Puljujarvi. Especially if it means bringing in Kane, Karlsson or Parayko.
#Oilers
Darnell Nurse had the highest +/- on the team. He needs to forget about offence, pair him with Bouchard and just shut it down and allow Bouchard to flourish offensively.
#Oilers
Dylan Holloway might be the ideal third line C going forward. McLeod just ain’t it.
Clouder is softer than Nikita Zadorov in a female locker room.
#Oilers
Some of these players that I hear Ken Holland is inquiring on will make EVERY Oilers fan happy.
Not going to say anything right now, but in about a month’s time, get ready for the Ekholm Trade 2.0
I’m seriously curious of how Ken Holland is going to make this happen.
#Oilers
Reminder, regardless of what his brother has done, Ryan McLeod is a fuckin’ beauty. Remember that. Slander him at your own cost because you’ll look like an idiot.
#LetsGoOilers
With TSN 1260 shutting down, I’d like to thank
@Lowetide
@JasonGregor
@nielsonTSN1260
for keeping me entertained for a more than a decade. You guys were a big part of my daily routine during the week from 8:00am-5:00pm and became like family. What a huge loss for Edmonton. 🥺😢😭
From what I understand, Ken Hollands current offer to the Arizona Coyotes for Jakob Chychrun is as followed:
Jesse Puljujarvi (F)
Cody Ceci (D)
2023 1st Round Pick
2024 2nd Round Pick
Phil Kemp (D)
Tyler Tullio (F)
#Oilers
Holland has decided to keep Broberg once Keith and Nurse return (later this week).
As Tippett stated earlier today, Koekkoek will be out a little longer so Russell will play as 7th Dman.
#Oilers
Get off the Elvis train Oilers fans, it’s not happening, nor was it ever realistic.
Think guys like Corey Perry, Pat Maroon, MAF and Sean Monahan.
And if things go right … CP.
#Oilers
Ken Hollands offer to Arizona for Jakob Chychrun was this years first rounder, a second rounder next year, Tyson Barrie & Dmitri Samorukov.
…However, Arizona countered with Phillip Broberg in place of Samorukov.
Holland remains adamant on not trading Broberg.
#Oilers
The Oilers will win the Stanley Cup if these 2 things happen:
1) Nurse locks it down defensively
2) One of Campbell or Skinner go on a run of .920 or above.
#Oilers
With Ken Holland & Jeff Jackson actively shopping for goaltending options, the names that keep coming up in trade talks are Cody Ceci, Philip Broberg and the
#Oilers
first round pick.
There’s a belief that Broberg will be moved as a sweetener to get rid of the Campbell contract.
Slater Koekkoek, Zdeno Chara and Jamie Benn. Ken Holland finalizing a deal with one of these 3 men. As of right now, Koekkoek is the favourite to be landed by the Oilers.
#Oilers
Ken Holland denied this team a legit shot at the Stanley cup by doing 3 things:
1) Giving Nurse 9.25 million dollars
2) Signing Campbell for 5 million dollars
3) Drafting Broberg over Caufield & Boldy
All fireable offences.
#Oilers
NJ Devils are looking to acquire Meier out of SJ. Buffalo is going hard at Demko.
And we have Holland scouting subpar players like Gavrikov out of CBJ. I’ll tell you right now, Gavrikov is worth a 2nd round pick at most. If Holland pays a 1st, he doesn’t understand pick.
#Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have been one of the best teams in the NHL. If they will add a legit TOP4 defenseman to replacing Cody Ceci, they should be even better yet.
American Goaltending
Ottinger
Hellebuyck
Demko
Gibson
Russian Goaltending
Vasilevskiy
Shesterkin
Sorokin
Bobrovsky
Canadian Goaltending
Hart
Jarry
Skinner
Keumper
I think it’s safe to say Canada is far behind between the pipes in comparison to USA & Russia.
Current holes in the Oilers line up
X McDavid Hyman
Kane Draisaitl Lavoie
Holloway Nuge Gagner
Foegele McLeod Brown
Nurse X
Ekholm Bouchard
Kulak Desharnais
X
Skinner
#Oilers
I really hope the Oilers don’t go after Darcy Keumper. Here’s a secret folks: He’s not that good. I’d say he’s an above average goalie at best. His stats are getting pumped playing behind a Godly Colorado Avalanche team. Don’t be the team that signs him to a 6x6.
#Oilers
Ken Holland is looking to upgrade the defence the same way he did when he acquired Ekholm. It’s going to have to be a player in, player out trade. That player is Cody Ceci. The potential options are Brett Pesce & EK65.
#Oilers
Ken Holland is in discussions with Steve Yzerman, the GM of Detroit Redwings. The topic of conversation is Mikko Koskinen.
Mikko has 1 year left at 4.5 million.
#Oilers
It was an absolute pleasure to have
@LadiSmid
on the NWO Podcast. Such a great insight on the game. His analysis on the
#Oilers
was incredible. Stories with legends such as Scott Niedermayer, Ales Hemsky, Ryan Smyth, Ryan Getzlaf & Corey Perry. All around an amazing interview.
I’ve seen enough of Archibald. And it looks as if the coaching staff has too.
#Oilers
are up 3-1, this is the perfect opportunity to bring in Holloway. He’s an upgrade in every category over Archibald. He’s faster, bigger and has more skill. Archy is more physical but who cares.
Oilers declined a trade that would send Vinny Desharnais to the Leafs for Sam Lafferty.
One of those guys was a healthy scratch tonight, the other got a GWG.
#Oilers
There’s an organization that Holland is talking with right now that no one is aware of. The player is an under the radar type, with terrific underlying numbers. And he might be able to get this player for a steal. That’s all I can say about the situation as of right now.
#Oilers
If you don’t want to cheer for Evander Kane, all the power to ya. But if for one second you think it’s ok to think less of someone else for cheering for him or even liking him, you’re off your rocker.
Too each their own. I’ll be rooting for the guy.
#LetsGoOilers
I can tell you this, when a team goes 0-5 at home, no one’s job is safe. Except for Ken Holland, obviously. Take that for what’s it’s worth. Read between the lines.
#Oiler
How can you dislike a player because of his beliefs? Especially if they’re not being hateful in anyway or showing any aggression. I respect Provorov for staying true to his beliefs.
#Oilers
should definitely still be targeting him.
It’s a little unethical, but if I was Ken Holland I would’ve used Jack Campbell’s mental state as an angle. Tell the NHL he’s taking some time off for his mental health, put him on LTIR, and then utilize that extra 5 Million at the deadline. Meanwhile Soup still gets paid.
Ken Holland is dead set on signing one of Adam Larsson or Dougie Hamilton. Both have very different price points though. Expect one these players to be an Oiler.
As far as the left side goes, the plan is either Olesiak (if Dallas chooses to let him walk) or Keith.
#Oilers
Who the fuck cares if they won. Jack still let in 4 goals. Dubs mean absolutely nothing if you’re still getting lit up. Sorry to say, but the Soup is cold. Gazpacho. Send it back. Order something else.
#Oilers
If you think Ken Holland is a capable GM and understands hockey, maybe you should look in the mirror and think to yourself “maybe I don’t understand hockey either”. Because there is no proof, accolades or evidence that shows Ken Holland knows or understands hockey.
#Oilers
If Evan Bouchard gets offer sheeted, the only man to blame is Ken Holland. This should’ve been his number one priority but instead he’d wasted money on insignificant players like Lane Pederson, Derek Ryan and Mattias Janmark. Bouchard should’ve been the first to get signed.
Can confirm that Holland has been in contact with Mike Babcock. Not too sure in what capacity or about what exactly. But one has to assume that it’s about a possible coaching change. There’s been no word on Woodcroft.
#Oilers
Ken Holland is having conversations with Bruins GM, Don Sweeney about a trade involving Jake Debrusk. Nothing serious yet. The names that have been discussed going back: Tyson Barrie, Ethan Bear and Caleb Jones.
#Oilers
@ProducerDrew_
Just a reminder that Gabriel Landeskogs career is donezo and Nichuskin is facing rape charges. Good luck even making the playoffs next year guy.
The Oilers have been linked to New York Islanders defender Noah Dobson. Hearing the asking price from the
#Isles
is Barrie, Broberg, a first round pick and an NHL ready forward, my guess is Puljujarvi. It would definitely be a steep price to pay to improve the
#Oilers
blue line.
I wonder if Holland has a couple more bullets in the chamber…
To Edm: Parayko
To StL: Yamamoto, Ceci, 2024 1st round pick and 2023 2nd round pick.
To Edm: Domi (50% retained)
To Chi: Janmark and a 2024 2nd round pick)
#Oilers
Two biggest head scratchers today for the Oilers @ Jets…
1) Not pulling Soup after the 3rd or 4th goal.
2) Scratching Kostin to play Shore.
Jay woodcroft went full retard today. You can blame Soup all you want, but this L falls solely on the coach.
#Oilers
The Oilers don’t really have to make any moves. With Kostin and Janmark likely not coming back, that enables Ken Holland to basically bring back the same team as last year. But why would you? They weren’t good enough. Gotta upgrade on Yamamoto & Ceci if you wanna improve.
#Oilers
There’s rumblings that Connor McDavid has been in Ken Hollands ear about signing soon-to-be free agent, Dylan Strome.
It’s just something to keep an eye on going into Free Agent Frenzy.
Another name to keep in mind is Nick Deslaurier. There’s interest there.
#Oilers
Kind of funny that Vegas got a top 4 defencemen, a top 9 center and scoring winger. Because that was Edmonton’s shopping list. Ah ya gotta love the NHL
It’s Connor McDavid who’s behind the Oilers big push to get Taylor Hall. He’s in Ken Holland’s ear, ready to win now. Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins both backing that narrative.
...Taylor Hall is coming home.
