Probably not gonna happen. I don’t think the front office is actually interested in winning
The team lacks heart and direction. We ice so many vets when we really should be giving meaningful minutes to young guys, there is a balance of course but catton and wright should not be in the bottom six.
Old guys: OUT
Firkus Circus: IN
This roster as assembled cannot win a Stanley Cup and will be lucky to reach the playoffs every once in a while.
Lambert deserves credit for getting the team this far, they performed well under his system, but it’s foolish to contend right now.
TANK FOR A TRUE SUPERSTAR. PLEEEEEASE! Look at what happened to the Sharks.
Management: how about a new coach?
I just want this team to have a direction. They suck now but it’s more a “directionless suck” instead of a suck with direction via being able to get good odds for a top-3 pick. Being directionless in the NHL is just not the place you want your team to be but here we are.
I’m looking at the Sharks having restocked themselves with good young talent (including future stars) and I am just jealous of where they are as a team when compared to us.
Our young guys aren’t exactly setting the world on fire either.
Sell the team!
The only way this team will win is if they are sold and relocated to Oklahoma City.
I got down voted and argued with for this. We know that most of these kraken players that have been on the team a long time cannot be coached. I trust Lambert and this organization needs to realize that some of the vets just can’t be coached.
Someone needs to tell Botterill that this is his team now and he did not assemble this roster. He can trade away some of these players and start to decide who wants to be here and who doesn’t.
Naw
Jesus. The Oilers SUCK this year and yet in back to back games we’ve made them look like the Oilers of old.
Thanks Francis. Aside from a few pieces, you’ve turned us into the epitome of MID. Just like with Carolina.
We will be slightly below average forever because Ron Francis and ownership are afraid of being worse rather than focused on getting better in the long term
Got to have experienced players to educate the youngsters, duh.
The young core does need to be the focus. Get them high draft picks.
