5-0 is awesome. Koskinen won’t steal us many games, but if he can maintain steady play like he has so far, we might be ok.

I know it’s only 5 games, but have we had a better UFA signing than Hyman the last 15 years? I was wrong about him. He’s awesome. Most surprised with his hands. Watched a few leafs games and I think I saw him worse than he was. Or maybe I didn’t pay much attention. But if he continues like this he will easily outperform his contract for at least 3-4 years, and honestly I can see this deal being right until the end.

Kassian making a positive difference. Refs seem to have it out for him as he gets such chintzy calls against him all the time, but whatever. He’s expensive, but if this is the guy that will show up, I’m keeping him. Loving that 3rd line.

Easily Yamomoto’s best game of the year, maybe even the last 2 seasons. Would be a boon for the team if he could find that mojo from a couple years ago again.

That should be Russell’s last game in an Oilers uniform. I can’t imagine any of Broberg, Samorukov, or even Lagesson being any worse. He’s done. That pairing (Russell-Barrie) was hot garbage. I never want to see that again.

I don’t hate Barrie, and I actually think his contract was pretty good considering he was the top scoring Dman last year, but why oh why did they not audition Bouchard last year? I suppose worst case we’ve got a solid trade chip at some point, but seeing him supplanted not even 5 games in is an indictment on Tippett’s choices last year IMO.

Keith and Ceci doing well I think. Not world beaters, but more than holding their own I think. Loved that laser to Kassian for the go ahead goal.

Anyway, 5-0 start and 13 McPoints already. I’m loving it.

Here is a question for you. If before last years season someone came to you and said, in the 21-22 Bouchard to start the year looking like a legit stud, at worse top 3, right shot dman but the trade off is they did what they did with him last year. In doing that, the Oilers were a good team last year, made the playoffs but lost out no because the defense was bad, it was because they couldn't score. Would you take that? I sure would.

I don't know if how they handled Bouchard last year was completely right but I do know it sure didn't hurt him. I do know that by all accounts whatever they did last year, helped him improve. I don't know if he would have just improved anyway, I doubt it but he could have. I don't know if he played more, he'd be that much better. He's been more than I ever could have expected so I don't know how he could me much better but maybe he could. All I know is, he was drafted by the Oilers, they slow played the crap out of him, maybe more than I personally would have liked but he looks fantastic, so far everything I had hoped he would be when he was drafted so I am having a hard time being upset with how the Oilers handled him at all if this is the end results.
