>>68743313
Because those games were meme as fuck and created scheduling problems for the teams involved. They had to have a week off after opening there because of jet lag, which meant they played a disproportionately higher amount of back to backs to compensate for having so many more off days early in the season than the teams that didn't go to yurop.

It's a bit of an overpay, but I think Lamoriello recognizes how important it is to have someone solid back there. I don't think he could have stomached another year of watching Bernier shit the bed.

Drafting a goalie before the 3rd round is retarded. This doesn't take away from the fact that they overpaid. And they could've gotten someone else for cheaper, then used the 30th overall pick on an 18 year old goalie.

MAF until the playoffs, 1st OA

>>68745384
>>68745393
Aha, missed that completely, sorry
>>68745393
The blues are doing them a favor. Shattenkirk is an overrated faggot who is nothing more than a second pairing defenseman.
>>68745431
so hes better than everyone else the oilers have?
>>68745393
You can still try for Trouba, Lindholm, Barrie, possibly Dumba. Demers in FA as well
>>68745244
If only you guys can sign a legit veteran d-man like Sekera, get a legit goalie like Talbot, sign a legit coach like McLellan, and get a legit GM like Chiarelli. I think that would solve pretty much all the Oilers problems. Especially, when young prospects that are ready to contribute like Draisaitl and Nurse are ready to make the jump.
