Notice how after Bellows had 8 points in 8 games (and 2 primary assists on the powerplay) , Trotz took him off the powerplay and limited his ice time. Putting him on his off wing with Barzal was a trap because Trotz knew it wouldn't work and he could use it as an excuse to call him out and then scratch him. He is one spiteful mfer.

EDM hasn't succeeded in anything since 2006 and even having two of the best players in the world doesn't seem to change that.


I think the scary thing for fans should be it doesn’t matter if you tank and get high picks (Eichel, McDavid, Matthews, MacKinnon) (all don’t have any playoff success) if you don’t have the right leadership in place to surround these players with the right combination of depth, goaltending, defence, your fukced and just waisting talent.

This pretty much explains why the likes of EDM and BUF have turned into royal jokes of the league in last 10+ years. So much opportunity to get talent and it's all gone to waste in terms of it never actually leading to anything successful.

I just can't fathom how things have gone so wrong for them despite all the chances and assets they have had the opportunity to get. But it doesn't matter if a thing called winning culture which entails things such a proper leadership is pretty much nonexistent.

2010 1st overall
2011 1st overall
2012 1st overall
2014 3rd overall
2015 1st overall
2016 4th overall

How many NHL teams haven't even had a 1st overall in a decade let alone 3 straight years. Or just being in the top 5.

And COULD be headed for another rebuild should they not be able to right the ship.

Bellows has been good I just don’t understand Trotz problem with scoring. So many better options to scratch. We’re playing the Yotes too so we’ll probably win 4-0 meaning Trotz will use the win as an excuse to keep this lineup for a while

.

As for why Yzerman selected Cossa over Wallstedt, on draft day they were basically 50/50. Most scouts had them both in the 10-15 range (I'm pretty sure Pronman had them at 10/11 in one of his final rankings, Bob McKenzie had them at 12/15 in his final rankings). The difference if I'm remembering correctly is that Wallstedt possesses elite technical skills and hockey sense (meaning he's very good at reading the play, and is always in the right position), while Cossa is very good as well, but also 6'6". My bet is that Yzerman felt he could ride Nedeljkovic for a few years, and teach Cossa to perfect the positioning side and take advantage of his larger frame (longer time developing in the AHL, maybe 2-3 years, whereas Wallstedt is likely to crack the NHL by the time he's 21). Really you can't go wrong with either though. I feel like Wallstedt has Vasilevskiy upside but Cossa has Bishop upside, and is more likely to at least make the NHL due to his sheer size.


Summed it perfectly - found the best way to say that draft decision for Yzerman (for some reason I can’t like the post tho lol)

yeah that's my point, he wants Bellows to fail so he has an excuse to take him out of the lineup. It's absurd that a coach wants his young players to fail to he has an excuse to replace them with guys he respects but don't do anything to help the team win games.

why is it mentioned that the super genius that can never do no wrong that is Steve Yzerman drafted Cossa before Wallstedt the goalie who some people are saying was just the clear cut franchise goalie in this draft class which the stupidest thing I've ever heard because if it were that obvious he would have been a top 5 pick.

And people are acting like the Oilers don't have good goalie prospects, Konovalov is finding his game in NA after not doing so well in the first month of the AHL season and had great numbers in the KHL, and there is Rodrigue who isn't as promising but still not bad and the the Condors have been really good recently with them rotating the net. And don't forget about Skinner is who is gonna be great for us


None of the Oilers goalie prospects hold much in terms of league wide value. Skinner is the only one, and definitely has the most value and I would say if he was a “ufa” most teams would call him. But he’s more of a 1B/ maybe like 30-40 game back up type guy who I’d be very happy with having. He looks like a bright spot. But you aren’t winning a cup this year (with the current team situation but there’s time for that to be fixed) and Skinner isnt the guy who the Oilers should be putting their chips on because he’s not a cup winning goalie and he’s not exactly ready full time for the NHL. He’s a rookie not a cup with run guy.

Cossa and Wallstedt aren’t gonna be ready this year either. But neither is Xavier. Xavier makes the NHL maybe in 2 years - the same time I’d expect one of Cossa or Wallstedt to be playing in North American Pros. If things go magically for both they could both be backups learning to be starters.

Yzerman didn’t exactly “pass” on his need. He went with Cossa. For me; Wallstedt is a franchise level asset. Cossa is more of a starter. But that’s subjective and Stevie Y still addressed the need of a starter goalie. Cossa isn’t a bad pick and he went with HIS guy.

But if you’re the Oilers - Wallstedt (which coulda been Cossa if Y picked Jesper) falling to 20 (or whatever the pick was) was literally a gift. Wallstedt or Cossa at 20 is literally a no brainer selection. Both guys conceivably can be 50-60 game starter quality goalies with Cossa being a safer pick maybe like a 5-7mil type guy but Wallstedt being a cup winning/ vezina calibre goalie. Instead the Oilers neglected their need and passed on a free no brainer. Which is why Minnesota took that trade with what I would bet was not a second thought.

Everyone thought Seider was a reach when Stevie Y picked him. Goalies are voodoo, and I’d be willing to bet there are some years Cossa looks better and other years Wallstedt plays better (once they make the NHL.) I think either way they will both be elite goalies for years to come. Don’t even know if Skinner become a 1B tbh. I think there’s a much better chance Wallstedt becomes a top 3-5 goalie in the NHL at some point in his career than Skinner becomes a reliable 40 game guy

Completely agree. Seider was “mocked” as a pick and he’s a front runner for Calder. Stevie Y built a very good team which is why I do not neglect any pick he makes.

Tampa isn’t a juggernaut with a ton of firsts (not flaming the Leafs or Oilers buttttt) Tampa was built on a a few first round picks (Stamkos, Vasi, Hedman) and supplemented with DEEP talent from great scouting and development.

The triplets (Palat (can’t remember maybe a 3rd?), Johnson (undrafted), Kuch (2nd?)), Sergachev (1st) but was a acquisition, Rutta (lol), Killorn and Cirelli are thirds I think, Maroooooon (6th but UFA), Point is a third. I mean the team isn’t built from star selections; rather stars that were developed. Goodrow and Coleman acquired aren’t elite talents. Joseph and Colton Ross? It goes on and on.

So I wouldn’t be shocked if Wallstedt blows Skinner/Cossa out of the water but Stevie Y definitely is gonna make us “wait till the fat lady sings”. Cause man that guys a sick GM.

Regardless, if Stevie Y picked Wallstedt and it was Cossa there for the Oilers instead, they still should pick Cossa over Xavier (although Wallstedt>Cossa imo.) but ur right, Stevie is a sick gm, and is one of the few guys who I’ll wait and see before judging with all his moves, no matter how head scratching they may seem

Oh yeah I don’t think EDM woulda drafted Cossa either - trading down in that situation meant they wanted Xavier all along and just doesn’t make sense imo. Xavier looks good too but there’s no reason they need another “smaller frame” scoring skilled forward.

You got almost everything right, Palat was actually a 7th, believe it or not. And yes, Yzerman is a terrific GM. He lay down the foundation for the Lightning in the first place (and JBB's done an equally terrific job since).

just nasty - joins my boy Pavelski.

I love third round picks tho, If I'm a contending team and Im close to a cup Im fine with trading all my seconds, and firsts as long as I have a few thirds piled up.
