God damn it Benson just when he was looking good
Is Holloway the "Real Deal". So far, yes BUT as you said it's early and it's the preseason. We've seen other players do well in the preseason who don't do well in the regular season. Do we want to push a 21 year old too far too fast (like we did Puljujarvi among others)? Do we want to repeat the mistakes of the past? Do we want to give the kid a chance beyond the first regular season game and see if he can run with it without buckling under the strain.
I agree fully there is no reason Foegelle can't move to the 4th line with JP on the 3rd (or 1st for that matter) on the right side (or second, yes Hyman played there last night but he normally plays left (even though he's right handed). If we can juggle the lines a bit to give us three solid scoring lines and a 4th that contributes too it would be great.
I know the Oilers typically don't understand analytics but Woody does understand some and I think folks also understand that someone has to want to buy what your selling at the price you want to sell for it to be moved (it being JP or whoever to free up cap space). So far there are no buyers for JP at what we want to sell him for. I'm actually okay with that (but I'm a numbers person). I want him to do well. I want all of the Oilers to do well because it makes the team better.
Oh, yeah, I know Uncle Kenny and Woody were saying if Holloway isn't top 6 he's back in Bako but honestly 3rd line with Nuge and Foegelle wouldn't be a crime and he would get more than 5 to 10 minutes a night.
Great vid as always. The only reason I don't like the car ones is the whole distracted driving thing (you looking at the camera instead of the road, remember, as Game of Thrones taught us, Winter is Coming (and it's REAL where we live)).
Take care all.
Agree. Thanks for saying that stuff about Jesse. He’s higher than mcleod and foegle on my roster. Also it would be a miracle if someone doesn’t get injured during the season. Jesse can do lots of roles. And yes Dylan is looking awesome and if he earns top roles that’s great. But I could lose derek Ryan, shore, foegle Jan mark before losing the number one oiler statistically for the last two seasons. Other than points
