It`s a shame, that both of the Oilers celebrated UFA pickups (Skinner and Arvidsson) didn`t justify their contract right now. For the 7m cap hit of those 2 it would have been possible to keep McLeod and Broberg and Holloway (signed to reasonable contracts).
The answer should be obvious. You can only scratch one thing at that point. DEEEZ NUUTSS HAHAHA GOTTI Seriously though such a great problem to have. Inch him up from the bottom lines in the following games. While I think a vet like Arvi would want more ice time I'm sure he's here to win and it doesn't matter how to him. He'll have his moments to make a big impact in the playoffs where injuries inevitably happen.
Derek Ryan maybe? Slide janmark down to centre 4th line, arvi probably gets put on the 2nd line with drai and podz - kappy goes to third line? Either way, really disrupts chemistry.
It might have to be a trade. Since he has a no trade it would need to be creative. I can possibly see a swap with Boston. Boston is bottom 6 in goals and outside of Pasternak and Marchand there aren’t any big offensive threats. I think a swap for Morgan geekie could be interesting. Big can play both center and wing. Less upside with him but is an RFA at the end of the year. My idea of lines come playoff time for the forwards is Nuge - McDavid - Hyman Podkolzin - Draisaitl - Arvidsson Kane - Henrique - Brown Janmark - Geekie - Kapanen Extras: Perry and Ryan/Philp Just a thought tho
this does not make any sense but bump down Evan Bouchard's minutes. I think guys will adhere to their roles more if they see the team improving. There are benefits for keeping him but defensively not a lot has changed because he becomes a target for liability in most games.
You would be really stupid to tear that line with Drai, Podkolzin and Kapanen apart. Since they are together, they have outplayed every opponent and got Drai on an absolute heater. Ryan is the guy that gets scratched, Janmark centers the 4th line, as he`s a beast.
lol. This title and discussion is so dumb. Skinners not scoring enough…let’s get a defensive center! Guys, defense is the ONLY issue with this team. Nothing else should be the focus. We have so much depth to trade away at forward.
It's time to put D. Ryan out to pasture. I hate to say it, love the guy but his expected production is rock bottom. Saying that, everyone on the bottom six could spend some time up in the press box.
Name 5 goalies that are better, available and cost 2.6mil now and WON'T cost more then 6.5 in 2 years. Skinner maybe isn't the goalie you think you want but the rangers are gonna be PAYING their goalie 11.5 mil x forever starting next year And they fuckin suck

Let’s get Bjugstad back
Could we trade him for someone like…. Oh I dunno…. Dylan Holloway?

Arvy to line 1, Nuge to 3C, scratch DR, give that a couple games. Don’t breakup the Drai/Podz/Kap chemistry just yet

We need a partner for nurse

Ryan all day
Arvy tanks Kapenen’s spot once he’s back. Kapanen plays in Ryan’s place. Calling it now.

Henrique has been dissapointing
Stu skinner is a garbage goalie
0/10 ragebait
I totally agree get rid of arvidson and find a good goalie

@@dancingbabybinspeople seem to just run good goalies outta town it’s actually so dumb
