Can someone explain why the goalie with a .890 sv% and 4.34 GAA in the OHL got the start for 🇨🇦 over the guy with a .919 sv% and 2.35 GAA in the WHL? Aside from the leagues they play in?

Fans in Edmonton are panicking, but Ken Holland isn't panicking. Panic is the worst reason to make a trade, and being in panic mode is the worst position to be in while making a trade. That's how bad trades happen!

Part of why no trades for Holland yet: Sekera- NTC modifies July 1 Russell- NTC modifies July 1 Lucic- $3M bonus paid out July 1 Those are the big "anchor" contracts that could be moved for cap space. All become much easier to move after July 1. July = busier month for Holland

Kovalchuk is available for league minimum salary... THAT is the type of move the #Oilers should be making right now. 43 points in 81 games with LA. Still an elite shooter. At $6.25 mil for this yr and next, no way. For $700k for the rest of the year, hell yes!

My quick thoughts on the #Oilers scrimmage this morning 🧵 Brown made a really smart pass to 97 in the NZ that led to a Kane goal. Brown could've got it to 97 just behind the red line, but he waited a half second and softly laid a pass out in front of 97 for him to skate onto it

Extending Puljujarvi on a short term deal at a lower AAV before the trade deadline would increase his trade value and the likelihood of him being traded. It would remove the $3M qualifying offer issue, which is a big deterrent for acquiring teams right now.

Updated article includes new salary cap breakdown after Caggiula/Manning trade as well as Gambardella recall. Oil are using $3.2975 million of LTIR relief. At least that much salary will need to be moved once Sekera comes back. In other words, there are more trades to come.

@afranck29 Gaudreau has never put up good numbers in the OHL. I've learned that he was solid in the 2021 U-18s; but I don't think a good tournament in 2021 makes a guy automatically a starter on the WJC team when there are several goalies with far superior stats, good teams or not.

Not so much mad at the Kassian suspension because he did grab Tkachuk from behind, and Tkachuk was an unwilling combatant (because he's a bitch). My frustration comes from the fact that Tkachuk's first hit was considered clean when it was clearly a hit to the head 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Primary point of contact on the first Tkachuk hit was the head. The other two were technically clean, but all them were cheap because they were blindside hits. Selfish penalty by Kassian, but I don't blame him one bit for going after that POS turtle!
