tbh i'm getting tired of these "target" articles, what have we actually done with any of these guys? idk why they never just tell us to trade for whatever player makes sense instead of listing off 5 random names

SE

ngl i'm with you, all these wishlists are just annoying imo they need to clear some cap space and get serious about making deals for the players we actually need

idk man, clearing cap space first might be a good idea, we can't just magically make room for these big players. @section7edm's right, stop with the wishlists already

man yeah we cant just conjure up cap space out of thin air, they need to get some actual deals done instead of floating around looking for random targets tbh i'm still waiting for them to pull the trigger on someone

man cant agree more we gotta see some actual movement on deals not just a bunch of "speculation" about who we might target next offseason honestly idk how theyre gonna attract the right guys if they cant get it done this summer ngl @section7edm's been saying this forever and imo hes always right

yeah cant just magically make room for these big players they need to get some actual deals done and i still dont see them making any real moves ngl it's frustrating watching this all go on

idk why its so hard for ppl to see that we need actual deals done and not just waiting around ngl i think some of these guys are getting too comfy with status quo and it's gonna hurt us come season time @Oilers17

idk who's more comfy with status quo, the front office or some of the fans tbh @section7edm imo they need to get their acts together and start making moves man

@Oilers17 lol yeah thats probably us fans who are comfy tbh we're always screaming for change even when they try to make moves ngl im just hoping we dont get stuck with a bunch of 1yr deals again man

JA

@Oilers17 yeah i remember that deal ngl still dont see how they got burned on it, just seems like bad roster construction to me

bad roster construction is an understatement, think they were trying to make the cap work too hard last season and it bit 'em hard ngl that one deal cost us a chance at playoffs man

ngh they gotta stop trying to force it and just make smart moves instead of these weird bandaid fixes, its like we're still living off that one playoff year from a few years back man @section7edm totally gets it tho
