I'm biased but I'd love to bring Khari home

I think the scheme was fine, you just need the right guys up front to make it work. So this goes to who is responsible for that

So then we need to find another centre if Eli is the versatile guy. Bottom line if you're not trying to improve on your weakest players whay are you even doing?

Some folks seem to think kolankowski is a liability so let's give the backup they think enough of to keep for 5 years and use heavily in 6ol packages a chance and see if he an do any better.

Guys who have a history of being top offensive producers get more rope, especially when the Oilers sucking in October is pretty much clockwork at this point.

There is no universe in which Hogan should be brought back as offensive coordinator. He was an unmitigated failure and the offense outside of 1 game was abysmal.

Is that referring to Evan Bouchard? Because if so it's a ridiculous comparison considering the absolutely dominating offense post seasons the guy has put together last 2 seasons and big point totals in the previous regular seasons. Guy like that having a poor start to an nhl season is a lot different than over the hill players or players who were never good enough getting continual rope.

Yeah for me Jake isn't even in consideration. I vote kolankowski and then probably a couple others on offense.

One of the reasons IMO we struggle to find open receivers.

Ok been thinking about this... who is the worst starter on the team? Genuinely curious what people think.

Yeah welcome to the conversation about WHY he has done squat.

Kolankowski also shows an inability to block.... worse than Eli IMO. I mean it seems thr rare snaps Eli gets in at centre we busy a big run up the middle... Eli was at C when Chris-Ike had a huge run up the middle against Montreal. The point is we kept the guy around for years and never once tried him.at C despite C being the worst starter on our team.

So other than Brady.... is there anyone we'd be super disappointed to lose?

Very interesting comparison.... Dave Ritchie was notorious for sticking with his good old boys at all costs and Charles Roberts had to basically walk away from the team for them to give him the chance... and as you said, he became one of the teams all time best.

I could go out there and try my hardest, does that mean I should have a spot? Thomas plays nearly every god damned snap and even at his peak he was just a depth guy. Huge problem. Willie is problem too because he doesn't put in the effort. They both need to be gone next year IMO.
