I give Drury an A- for a deadline.

Would have given him an A if he could have gotten back a non conditional second for Panarin. Greentree is an excellent prospect. Will be an upgraded Cuylle IMO. Cuylle is a winning player. We need more of his types. The Carrick deal was fine. If he had some more offense this year probably would have been a second rounder. Not moving Trochek for shit value was one of his better moves. If he trades him he will get more in the summer because when dipshits running the Wild and a few other teams lose in the first round, then they will feel the heat. The Othmann trade was very good. Othmann did get several chances this year. Unfortunately, he wasn't physical. He got knocked on his ass a lot. Stood around too much and didn't correct it. Battaglia has a chance to be a good 3rd line type and he's 3 years younger. Kartye should be on our 4th line for a while. Or at worse he will be the Brodzinsky replacement as the fill in player.

Drury is still a moron until proven otherwise but he did well at the deadline not panicking for once. Now, he needs to find his pea brain and fire half the scouting staff who fucking blow and don't know what they are doing.

If you think Drury is a bad GM, the GM for the Oilers is a fucking moron. I don't give a shit if they went to the finals the last two years. He gives up first round draft picks for average role players. They might miss the playoffs this season. They never have a goalie worth shit. He basically is wasting the careers of two of the best players in the world. McDavid should have never resigned there.

Drury had better offers from the Caps and Wings for Panarin but with the NTC Artemi chose LA. I didn't expect teams to be lining up for the slugs Drury needs to move for a proper rebuild to take place but I'm curious how he goes about doing it. I like Trocheck, he comes to play every night, should be the Captain. Othmann had some opportunities but only 42 games as a Ranger, he could still develop into something but he struck me as a lack of effort guy.

Agree Porter. Othmann was five times more fucking lazy than Lafreniere. That’s surprising since multiple scouting reports were that he had a strong desire to be great. Which leads me to the fact that he might be learning impaired, and can’t self evaluate.

Greentree is a heck of a prospect and he’s also gonna top out at about 235 pounds.

Surprising Buffalo didn't do more at the DL, this could be a year they could get to the ECF with a weak East.

Carrick was a great add for them. They suck on face offs. I thought Trocheck would be an option for them, but you have to remember Norris just came back for them. McLeod has taken his game to another level another fuck up by the Oilers moron GM. So they are strong down the middle.
