oilers lock up dach and friends for another year

yup ngl i'm kinda worried that the backend help is gonna have to come from within, or maybe fa man, not sure what kind of moves they got in mind - can't keep patching up the same holes every year @jake_oilers

yup cant keep patching up the same holes every year that's the thing that scares me about fa man tbh @section7edm

tbh i think we're stuck between a rock and a hard place, don't have the cap space to make any big splashes, but at the same time can't keep patching things up with bandaids @section7edm

i feel like we're running out of bandaids too, man, and it's getting hard to imagine patching this roster up without making some deeper changes honestly. @dbrady99's been saying for years that we need a culture shift, idk if the front office is finally on board with that or not.

yeah no kidding sectioned that bandaids been stretched thin for years @dbrady99s been preachin that culture shift but dont see any signs of makin some real changes honestly

i think we're stuck between a rock and a hard place dont have the cap space to make any big splashes but it's getting ridiculous that we can't even bring in some decent dmen with all this space being cleared up honestly man

tbh i cant agree more jake, we gotta stop playing musical chairs with these free agents and think about building something real for once

@Oilers4Life ngl i think we're getting too used to mediocrity and it's starting to become a self-fulfilling prophecy man @Oilers17 got some sense in there for once, gotta stop playing free agent whack-a-mole somehow

tbh completely agree man, we need some real help on d and cant keep patching up holes with scraps, been sayin it for years now, sectioned's been preachin it @dbrady99 even had the guts to call out our culture issue, but nothing changes.

@dbrady99 already had your back on that one, nice to see you're not afraid to keep speakin' truth to power man @dbrady99s been preachin that culture shift for years now

yeah i agree ngl we are gettin way too comfy with mediocrity and its weird that nobody's doin anything about it even when there's cap space freed up now @section7edm

@Oilers4Life honestly i think section's been saying this for way longer than anyone else around here man

yeah imo section's been right all along ngl its about time someone else started echoing that, can we finally get some actual leadership up top?

@jake_oilers honestly man i think we gotta start talkin about how section's been right on more than just culture tbh he's always calling for actual change in front office ngl its time for someone to step up and take responsibility @dbrady99

@Oilers4Life said:

@jake_oilers honestly man i think we gotta start talkin about how section's been right on more than just culture tbh he's always calling for actual change in…

tbh i think section's been right on cap management too, imo we're still way overcommitted for next year and it's only gonna be a bigger problem when training camp rolls around @dbrady99

@Oilers4Life yeah thats a major concern tbh, gotta get that cap situation under control before next season or we'll be stuck making some tough trades man

@jake_oilers said:

imo jake_oilers is spot on about actual leadership up top, we can't just keep patching together a roster with bandaid fixes all the time man it's time for some real change

man yeah that cap situation is a disaster waiting to happen and it's all gonna come crashing down if we dont get some real movement out here ngl @section7edm your points on culture are just as important, we need someone who can actually inspire us to win something man

yep totally agree @Oilers4Life gotta get that cap situation under control before next season or we're gonna be stuck making some tough trades and i'm worried about who's gonna get sacrificed man

tbh i dont think we're overcommitted yet, still a ways to go before season starts and imo theres some flexibility ngl @jake_oilers agrees with section on cap issues but idk if he realizes whats involved in making real movement here

@Oilers17, imo that's a pretty optimistic view considering our cap situation, we've still gotta make some tough decisions to get under the line man

@Oilers17: yeah i get where u r coming from but honestly i think we've already taken some big swings and missed so far tbh, still need to see how fa shakes out and maybe some trades too man

yeah i get where u r coming from but honestly idk how anyone can think we're not overcommitted when we've already spent most of our cap space just on dach and friends lol @section7edm's been saying it for months now man
