we had alot of significant injuries and i think the arrival of rnh and eberle have shown us that we truly have/had second tier talent (hemsky) all these years. Its amazing what real talent can do. now we start seeing some high end, game in – game out, every night, team game, two way hockey smarts, players. I am just happy we started seeing some actual real top level talent in edmonton. We needed the draft,, or else we would still be of the opinion that showing up once every four games was being a good player.

i am always for winning. you never ever stop competing. plus i hope we help put nails in sarich and the flames coffin.

i think after #2 there is a big drop off of talent but that is fine. from what most scouts say its #1, gap, #2, BIG GAP, #3-8, Gap, #9-13, BIG gap, everyone else.

ive said it before; i want to see Tambi or the next GM make a big move with our next years #1. It makes a huge statement for the next season and should get us a huge return. If a new GM comes in i would expect him to draft the player he wants and deal our top 2013 pick as his first moves. Tambi doesnt really have the balls to do it since you risk having nothing to sell to fans about the season if you shit the bed.

and tambi should be let go. ottawa and other teams have shown that if you know what the hell you are doing…you dont need more than one draft to rebuild. only the islanders and teams going bankrupt need to do it 4 years in a row…and edmonton.

Considering I have never been a fan of tanking (in my opinion there are better ways of rebuilding without as much suck), I’m up for winning. I hope they win out.

And G&S, I don’t think a 1 year contract is good for any coach, because then they almost by default become a lame-duck coach. I think if you want to re-sign him, sign him to a 2 or 3 year deal and then if it doesn’t work out fire him (and let him have his money).

Renney might just be saving his job here and as much as I harp on the guy, I am not against giving him one more kick at the can on a 1 year extension. Realistically, if the team continues to play the way it has lately. We could find ourselves out of the lottery. We are only 4 pts back of a whole boatload of teams who have 75pts with the Ducks being one of them. We play them twice more. Go Oilers. I have had enough of the losing.
