You should try watching RNH play some time because you clearly have never done so in the past if that is your assessment of the player.

He'd never have made it to FA last year?

Is he? Or would he like so many before him get exposed without the support of the guys in Nashville ahead of him? That's arguably the best D in the league he came from and Edmonton is arguably the worst. Lots of guys asked to do too much there had their careers diminished because of it. Meanwhile RNH can actually handle playing top line centre and still has some upside to his game as well.

and yet I know the people you generally watch movies with and this sentence makes no sense....

I'd rather he be the 4th option.

It's pretty simple, Moore straight up hurt too much, Denmark has always been a complimentary guy, too much attention on him from a D and he's not as good and Adams is lazy and not as good as people wanted him to be. The solution is MOAR TALENT!

He was our best receiver and it wasn't really close, the only problem with him was that he couldn't stay healthy. Was worth paying him if not for his lack of health, not sure what the obsession is with the TDs, as I said, that was a team wide problem.

He was on pace for 1100 yards basically in each season he was here.... that is good production when healthy. The entire team was allergic to the endzone, that's why we lost so many games so why get down on just moore for low td stats? That was a team wide problem but Moore was reliable in getting this team yards and helping at least move down the field.

That depends on who you listen to. Some people say the Oilers didn't want to give him up, some people say there was a lot of talk about it but the Preds preferred the taller heavier player. The truth likely lies somewhere in the middle. I'd suspect that it wasn't a 1 for 1 swap being talked about between Nashville and Edmonton because the Oilers really are in no position to be trading a guy like RNH for potential on defense. They really lack depth that I don't think people realize. Sure they might appear to have depth at C when everyone is healthy, but McDavid still isn't back yet and that leaves them with Draisaitl and then someone like Letestu playing 2C because of an injury. Not a good situation. The Oilers really do lack everything other than their first round guys so to part with one they need to win the trade, they don't have depth anywhere to move a piece for a need because it just leaves more holes.

Let's be honest here, this team could use a veteran presence on the offense pretty badly. Potential is all well and good but you need someone who can show the youngsters how to be a pro. You think it's a coincidence that Terrence Edwards turned into a good one? He learned from Stegall what it took.

If nothing else Marvel has done a great job casting people so I'd say give the kid a chance and we might have a good spiderman.

Sarcasm? Friend or family of Adams? Adams himself? Delusional?? Need to know which it is so I can respond accordingly. Adams was not nearly good enough last year.

Let someone else sign moore and tie up money there so there's less competition when FA day hits.

Well he's going to be a free agent in about a months time so what does it matter if it's true or not?

Durant has always been a winner though. Some qbs are just that way regardless of the stats. I hate to say it because he's a shithead rider but Durant has a history of winning games in this league.

does that 40k make a difference? We knew Dressler was being paid a crap load of money because everyone tried to sign him and there was a very tight bidding war to sign him. Just the typical rider fan attitude, you stop wearing the green you're over paid or not that good blah blah blah.

Bet you weren't so down on Taman giving out those contracts at the time though. This is why everyone mocks Rider fans, biggest hypocrites going. Taman signs Chick and Dressler "AMAZING!" New GM cuts them "Wow Taman you dolt, why give out such big contracts?"

Especially if Moore isn't coming back.

God damned good thing you edited that....

Can Ottawa afford them? They got more than a few guys set to earn more money and they've already had to ship one out.

It's nice to dream, but do you really expect these guys to take a hair cut? Moore will be in demand and he'll get paid big money, Denmark is already making big money and Carter will have approximately 9 teams make inquiries about him and he'll get a big pay day as a result of the interest.

Walters has always played the FA game, i don't seem him changing now

Better than rise of an empire... well that's a low bar... The only two things worth seeing in rise of an empire belong to Eva Green and you can see those in just about every movie she does.

That might be cost prohibitive.

With the Watchmen I think you really have to appreciate the graphic novel to enjoy the movie. I think they really made a mistake in the marketing of that movie making it seem like a superhero action film. It is nothing of the sort and it's long and dry. 300 I did enjoy but that's because it's nothing but simple basic blood and guts and crazy visuals. Safe to say I didn't get Sucker Punch, no idea what the **** that was supposed to be and Man of Steel to me was just crap. Trying to make Superman dark and gritty is just nonsense. He's supposed to be a boy scout and a symbol for hope, if you can't make an interesting movie with that idea then you're not trying hard enough. They managed fine with Captain America who is a similar kind of boy scout hero.
