General Hockey Talk - Injuries, signings, factoids + other news from around the league

Wow, what a waste of a nice career.

Oilers have a press conference today I believe but I am not sure about what. You have to hope Lowe is out the door but who knows.

As for what the Oilers will do or need to do that's anyone's guess but their players have such little value outside of Hall and RNH that it really doesn't matter who they move, the return will be minimal.

Probably Mark Messier related. Should go something like this: "We're facing challenging times but Mark Messier!!!! Questions?"

Joey Moss for GM?

Joey Moss would be a better choice than MacTavish.

Oilers newser underway.

So uhhhh, did he say anything?

he said players need to be accountable and their drafting after the 1st hasn't been good

Well there you go! Problem solved!

So basically a presser just to show management is still alive Even Olivia Pope can't save that disaster.

Lol they asked him about the last decade abd he said don't lump me in with their failures (sic) It was Cussing gold.

Apart from the first overalls and top-three picks, who else do they have on their roster that's a recent 1st round pick?

Yeah, you don't see comments like that too often (throwing the old guys under the bus).

Forget 1st round picks, they haven't drafted a good player in the past 10 years anywhere.

What fun that pc was. I've only been gm here 18 months! Come on! Lol

Most of it is not his fault, he's right. But bringing him in in the first place was a total joke to begin with. The owner is the Bryan Murray version of loyalty but towards the management, not the players.

Islanders might still feel like there's room for improvement:

I can confirm that the #isles and oilers have been talking trade. I keep hearing a Eberle for Reinhart deal is a possibility

The last thing Edmonton needs is another rookie. Looks like they are in on McDavid if it happens.
