BillsGuy82 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I see alot of Jack Eichel in Hischier. He's gonna be good as early as this year. I haven't seen enough Zacha to judge but he screams Winger to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hischier and Johansson are skating well together so I’m good with that. Pairing Nico with MJ and Stafford is the smart move. We aren’t making the playoffs but we’re going to be really fun to watch. EDIT - Actually meant Palmieri, not Henrique. Edited October 2, 2017 by bkobow05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 And Nico is going to RUN away with the Calder IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but if we don't make the playoffs, we have the lotto ball specialist on our team, so we are virtually a lock for the number one overall pick again, right?

That is the Taylor Hall way, isn’t it? I’ll take another year of struggle if it means we get Dahlin to go with this young core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Think Nico should have a good year but to me Keller, Chabot and Mcavoy will be ahead of him for the Calder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen enough Zacha to judge but he screams Winger to me. Speaking of, Eichel is going to be an absolute monster this season. I'm really excited to see him play. For the Oilers, expectations start now. We'll start against the Flames with a line up of: Maroon - McDavid - Draisaitl Lucic - RNH - Yamamoto Jokinen - Strome - Cagguila Khaira - Letestu - Kassian Klefbom - Larsson Russell - Benning Nurse - Gryba Talbot Sekera will swap with Gryba when he's back. Yamamoto will likely be up for only 9 games unless he blows the top off with his performances. He had a fantastic preseason, so I assume this is his 'reward' before being sent back for junior. Pulju is starting in the AHL, so hopefully he performs and is up mid-season, though I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous. This might be Yakupov PTSD. Still, this is the best team the Oilers have iced in my life time. We are 4 lines deep among the forwards(with a lot of young players), and our D looks solid enough (Especially if Benning and Nurse can take a step forward). Talbot was among the best goalies in the NHL. McLellan also showed he can roll with the best. Reaching the Western Conference finals is the minimum for this squad. Really excited to see how this season goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers0909 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The Flyers continue to trip over themselves and not ice the best lineup possible. It looks like one of Travis Sanheim or Sam Morin will be sent down in favor of newly appointed assistant captain Andrew MacDonald and Dale Weise got the nod over SHL forward of the year (at 20 years old) Oskar Lindblom. Those moves along with Giroux moving to wing should have their lineup looking like: Giroux-Couturier-Voracek Weal-Patrick-Simmonds Weise-Filppula-Konecny Leier-Laughton-Raffl Provorov-MacDonald Sanheim-Gudas Hagg-Ghost (Morin could also be subbed in anywhere) Elliott Neuvirth Much improved over last years squad but we have guys in the AHL that would improve our lineup even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbuff23835 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Jack Eichel went against the advice of his agents, and signed before the season started. And took less money. 8/80 leggo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is going to play until he's 50 if the teams let him...and he'll probably still be somewhat effective. Third greatest offensive player I have ever seen (Wayne, Super Mario being the first two).
