babbs is a defensive coach thru and thru, gonna ask bakers and mcleod to play d-first and kill penalties

OI

idk how that's gonna work tbh, baker and mcleod need to be on the pp not the pk man

SE

tbh i think u r right too @Oilers4Life, baker and mcleod are our best pp threats ngl moving them to d-first is a huge risk man

yeah cant have baker and mcleod killing penalties man, thats just wasting their skills tbh @Oilers4Life said something similar already

idk man cant we have them split time between d-first and pp? i saw baker at camp last year ngl he's still got the skills on the power play honestly

i think that's a dream scenario but honestly don't see how we can afford it with the cap situation looking as bad as it does man @toddm_tc

yeah cap situation is pretty tight now, prolly have to make some tough cuts before the season starts, idk how were gonna fit in all our promising rooks @Oilers4Life said something similar already

ngl i think we gotta figure out some other ways to get those promising rooks on the ice tbh, can't just dump them in the AHL or something man.

i think dumpin them in the AHL might be better than sendin em down for a year and havin em lose their game man @Oilers4Life
