not ideal for sure but carrying 4.75 in cap on the books for next 2 seasons to get no production out of it is a huge anchor especially at the expense of losing good productive players. Mikheyev needs to step up big time. hope the canucks get into round 3 and he gets a chance to redeem himself

one can wish maybe Chicago if we add a 1st and a young promising player that's NHL ready... Offtopic but with 50 million in cap space i think Sam Reinhert will go there.

maybe he got multiple new girlfriends and can't focus

i was really rooting for Mikheyev. His performance these playoffs and now being a healthy scratch in my opinion are going to make it close to impossible to trade. i would be surprised if this happens this summer. How can we justify losing one of Lindholm, Joshua, Zadarov at his expense.

that's fair and i can respect that. apologies for the way i came off For purpose of discussion i just feel it's too early in the process to assume that Tocchet's style will not work for the team and/or Petterson. Changing the culture does not take 1 season, and the results Tocchet and the coaching staff have yielded so far can't be discounted in my opinion.

Do you forget we have been a basement team for the past 3 years and for majority of the past decade? We go from years of being a shit team to second round of rhe playoffs, division title, multiple players being in consideration of player awards, multiple players having career years and you still find a way to shit on our new coaching staff? Is it that hard to not overanalzye, shows some patience and enjoy the ride?

Last year I wasn't a fan of the Petriangelo slash on Draisatl. Thought it deserved a long suspension Now i've grown to appreciate it and understand why he did it.

gold thank you skinner and overrated

Guys the Oilers are straight up losers and we as fans need to make a statement For game 5 what you guys think we spread the word. Sneak in some diapers. Throw diapers on the ice if Oilers score. Start chants for "Con-nor McBaby" "Leon DryBaby" . Also need to chant "over-rated" in general I've been a sports fan for decades and never once have I hated a team as much as I hate these Oilers. I'm going to the game on Thursday and I don't care if I get kicked out. I'm close to ice and I'm going to let the Oilers have it. Fucking losers these guys are

You're right It's not a good decision for what's best for the team today I guess I'm more making a case that I think long term we would benefit in getting Juuls some ice time

And that last sentence there "been out of the lineup for so long" is what worries me We've been lucky these playoffs with health for our Fs and Ds. Putting Juuls in after a long layoff could be trouble... so maybe we ease him as 7D... 8-10 minutes a night and get him to work out his playoff jitters.

What about Myers? I really really hope he takes a home town discount just so he stays close to family

No I wouldn't put him in as F But having him dress as 7D and get some shifts in while double shifting our forwards I'm a fan of. See my other post above

Good post. It's one of those tough decisions Cole is the safe choice for today But for our future Juulsen needs to get some ice time in these playoffs I like the other posters idea, bring 7 D, and run thin with 11F. Our forwards can handle more minutes

Well he's advocating to go with 7D Why would we go with 5D? I do like the idea of getting Juulsen in sooner than later there will be an injury to the D and he hasn't played in a long time
