How does Edmonton’s blueline stack up without Cody Ceci and Philip Broberg? Are the Flames better or worse than we expected? Is the health of Thatcher Demko the Canucks biggest concern? TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss the Western Canadian teams.

No chance if this is their D post deadline. Sad to say it as an Oilers fan, but I think their best chance to win a Cup has come and gone.
Gawd this was awful.
I think, by trade deadline we should have a top Dman wanting to join the oilers, especially if we’re 1st or 2nd place in the standings. So hopefully we’re playing great by then
I'm not sure that Skinner can make a great run to the Final again… I want to believe it but ehh, I think there will be even more pressure on him next year and it might get to him.
Edmonton spending too much on McDrai. Vancouver will surpass them as the best Canadian team.
Shouldn't be no movement clauses, no trade clauses, should be able to do whatever you want for someone you spend a buttload of money on. Maybe even arbitration to show you have to pay them less for underperforming. Like jonathan huberdeau and others, able to pay them less for not performing like you hoped, paid them for and/or trade them where ever, screw the no movement or no trade clauses.
Oilers will be out of the playoffs in the first round terrible goaltending and bad defense
Not presently,, and I’m more worried about goaltending,
Brown Nancy Hall Nancy Martin Amy
Darnell is so terrible it’s not even funny
People acting like oilers D is that much worse
Ceci was a defensive liability, Desharanais was a big guy who could hit but lacked good skating or luck moving, and Broberg was an overpaid unproven prospect. Tell me, what exactly did the oilers D lose in value?
No!!!!
Idk why it’s such a big talking point. All they need is a 2nd pair Right dman. Their 3rd pair will be rly good and we know the top pair is top 3 in the NHL. Watch Bouch finish 2nd or 3rd for Norris voting and skinner will be top 10 goalie.
