Quoting: Cbzblaze
Domi has been stuck on junk teams for most of his career so far. He's a goal scorer, with a very good shot. Exactly what the oilers need in the top 6.
Your talking like I think Puljujarvi is trash. He's got great physical attributes, but he doesn't think the game well at this point of his young career. He should improve in a few years. But like I said, either oiler fans need to be patient and let the young guys improve (Bouchard, puljujarvi, McLeod, holloway, broberg are all still in the development phase of their careers) . Or make a move to contend sooner. Can't do that by hoarding all your good young players.
You clearly think Domi is trash. I think he'd score a ton of goals playing with either McDavid or draisaitl.
Just for fun, post a trade with Puljujarvi for Domi and see what kinda comments you get? The Columbus fan above said it wasn't a bad offer but he'd still decline.
I’d never post a trade like that I’m one of the patient Oiler fans, I’ve been a fan of this team since 1980 and not since the early 90’s has this team been in a good of spot it is right now. When Holland took the job all you had to do as a educated fan was look at the current roster and contracts and realize Holland wouldn’t be able to do anything major to this offseason but some how he still found a way to give us enough pieces to be a playoff team in back to back yrs when’s the last time that happened. I get it Oiler fans are frustrated and just want to win tomorrow but the future is so bright and in as little 16 months, JP, Bouchard, Holloway, Broberg and McLeod will all be major contributors to this team, a team like Edmonton can’t trade its youth it doesn’t have enough pieces in place to mortgage its future, teams like Tampa and Colorado can, their fully built, there trading for depth not missing pieces. Holland said that exact same thing when Ryan Rishuag from TSN challenged him, his reply when the time is right he’ll make those trade but the organization as a whole isn’t deep enough to start doing that. The oilers need a true starting goalie that’s young enough to be with this group for yrs to come a top 6 left wing plus 2 top other 9 pieces and a upgrade on the left D as Klef is never coming back, most of which holland can address in the UFA market this summer full expect some trades as well but none of the above mentioned youth will be involved, I could see Bear being moved as part of a package to bring in a goalie.
And as for Domi I don’t think he’s trash but he’s also not the answer, all he’s proven over the last 3 yrs is that he’s a headache, his play and out burst show he’s not that coachable or is he a guy that’s good in the locker room, two GM’s have already rolled the dice on this guy and have came up snake eyes this guy screams nothing but red flags but some how your the GM that thinks the 3rd time will be the charm, Vegas was built on thinking like that.
