Sujet: get ready to lambaste me Krueger is the problem
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WellIDK</b></div><div>I think the problem is bigger than just the coach. They had a good start this season (9-2-2 in october) and it's not the first time Buffalo collapsed after a good start. They were 20-9-5 in last year and finished with a 33-39-10 record. I don't watch a lot of Buffalo games so sure, Krueger could be a part of the problem. But Buffalo has quite some problems; they lack offense (they're a bottom team in scoring for years), defense isn't spectacular (even though Dahlin and Jokiharju is a good core for the future) and they lack a true #1 goalie. Last year Hutton was pretty good for most of the season, this year Ullmark was. But both aren't consistently good.
However, after the collapse last year and ruining a good start this year, I'd also question the character/mentality of the players too. 20-9-5 to 33-39-10 last year is an insane collapse.</div></div>

Typical of a team that lacks veteran leadership. Adam's needs to add a few older guys this summer on the cheap. Jack needs mentoring and support in the dressing room.

Sujet: Jost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Edmonton is loaded with defense prospects and already have a pretty decent defense core as it is so Samorukov is in tough to ever break through with the Oilers and a 3rd round pick in 2021 won't be a contributing NHL player for at least three years but odds are it'll be more like 4 or 5 if it even amounts to anything </div></div>
Samorukov probably needs just 1 more year of development before he's ready to step into the NHL. He has 2nd pairing upside, I'd rather that develops for another year and we see where the team is after the expansion draft than trade him for a player we don't need.

I agree that the 3rd has way less value than most CF posters think.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>so yeah in the grand scheme of where Edmonton is at and what their needs are </div></div>
Principally 3C and 2G. Jost isn't either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>and Jost' potential this is peanuts, the Oilers would be crazy to not make this trade if this is all it takes to acquire Jost.</div></div>
Meh. He's a 20-25 point bottom-6 winger. You can get those in free agency for $1.5M or less without giving up an A level prospect or a 3rd.
