Hi. I'm "Gio Palermo", also known as "legorocks99" ("legorocks99Gaming", "LR99Gaming", or "LR99"). I post video game commentaries on KZbin revolving around "hockey", with a primary focus on "Vancouver Canucks", "Montreal Canadiens", "Detroit Red Wings", and top "NHL prospects" topics. These videos are uploaded with "NHL 24" gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Just remember Barrie had the most points for d and never got one norris trophy vote. If u watched these games they needed someone from the point that can hit the open shot. He can. It's sad that they had to go out and trade for a 6 million dollar d man so he could actually look good. Ek covers for him so much its truly sad. They will back up the bank for him. I just hope he arounds out his game. I'm not worried about the points when u play with Mcdavid.

[@KptKrunch9481]

Not really - again another fan who doesn't 'watch' the Oilers. They are a good tandem that play well off each other! Paul Coffey is a Hof dman - guess who was his partner for a lot of most productive offensive years? Charlie (stay at home dman) Huddy. You so called hockey fans make this sound bad! Guess you wish you had that pair eh?

[@SimonBaldock]

He's truly appalling defensively (much like the entirety of the Oilers). Can't pay another Nurse like contract for someone who's a sieve on the backend.

[@nunya_business1702]

Bouch/Ekholm > Hughes/Hronek

[@KptKrunch9481]

Here's the problem with Bouchard - he's extremely calm with the puck, and very smooth. When he makes a good to great Dplay - you don't notice it. How 'bout you actually watch the Oilers play instead of the Canucks - i.e. only notice a gaffe by Bouch and give the 'nuck players crap when Bouch makes a good play - know what I mean? Then your tune may change. He's not the greatest Dplayer no argument there - but no way is he appalling - not like Zadarov is (human Pylon lol)

[@Codyray17ify]

True Story....

[@Codyray17ify]

@@KptKrunch9481 ...There's "Calm" and then there's "Unaware" ...since he has started with the Oil he has had a Serious case of "I got this!.....OOOPS I don't got this!" He has Zero sense of urgency.

[@KptKrunch9481]

Bouchard is a RESTRICTED free agent after next season - so no worries. If someone makes him an offer sheet that the Oilers can't match - here come the boat load of draft picks. Oilers will be fine.

[@stuartkasperski]

Bouchard would be a HUGE loss for EDM. The picks wouldn't offset the player.

[@andrew4451]

I believe the Oilers are willing to go as high as 40mm to get those 3 players locked up with a 100mm cap. Also would not be surprised if Mcdavid set the tone signing first.

[@nunya_business1702]

@@andrew4451 mcdavid can’t re-sign until next summer July 1st. At that time Drai would be a UFA so your 100% wrong

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

After that trade, the Oilers in the next season will be different. Will they make it to the playoffs again? Only time will tell.

[@tequila6306]

How is that even a question? Game 7 of the SCF and they got better…

[@KptKrunch9481]

Um, if you're a Canuck fan - your team got WORSE - and you gotta pray that Demko can have a health year and J.T. Miller repeats his career year (he won't) . Canucks miss playoffs next season, Oilers do the Panthers trick and win the Cup after coming oh so close this season. Will they make the playoffs - L M A O - you're not too bright of a hockey fan are you?
