This Would Make The Oilers Cup Favourites...
Holy Crap, what a week it has been! Now before you come at me in the comments for click bait, just watch the whole video lol. Yesterday, it was rumoured by an NHL insider that Mikko Rantanen could 'potentially' join the Oilers this offseason... so I want to talk about it, that's all?
Oilers fans, what do you think. Is there any legitimacy to Rantanen joining the Oilers or is it just a pipe dream. Drop a comment down below as I read and react to every single one!!! Also, Brandon Saad just hit waivers... should the Oilers go out and get him? I also shared my thoughts on this. Thanks for all the continued support guys. Really means the world. Will see you in the next one.

Rantanen would be crazy but i dont think they will make that work. They could get rid of nurse.
There you are. Oilers don't need anyone really...we are first in division...we can beat any team.... comeback or not. In Picks we trust lol. Skinner awesome too
Absolutely would love it.
What a BS. As if the Oilers could afford another big contract way north of 12m
Skinner! You suck at fort
Skinner?
#Saad going to 🛢️🛢️🛢️ers 🎉😅
It’s not happening Walmart Skinner.
You look like Skinner. Did you know that?
Flames realistically, Edmonton wont be able to afford him. Heard he wants what drai got
There is no way in hell Rantanen signs with the fLames 🤣🤣
Vancouver canucks will get him 100%
Vancouver’s implosion will keep all future players away from that piece of work..Hughes won’t stay there when his contracts up..
Bro, you look like Skinner
has anyone ever told you, you look like Skinner? 🙂
Zero chance, we don't need 3 of the best in the world forwards we already have 2 of the best.
Mc david and bouchard sign for league minimum and we pay rantanen 30M AAV.
Raise the cap 20 million and let the oilers sign everyone
Remove the salary cap and go nuts.
Temu Skinner
Me: “Mom, can we get Stuart Skinner?” Mom: “We have Stuart Skinner at home.” POV: Stuart Skinner at home
No way #SkinnerStache
I also don't belive it's happening, but nice if
Bruh not happening
Good for you, Trev, that's so inspiring! I wish you the best, keep at 'er! P.S. You've got the SECOND-BEST mustache in Edmonton...behind only Skinner!! Cheers!
I love both mak and helly but drai is definitely the choice for the hart. As long as he keeps it up theres no way he doesn’t win. The games without mcdavid just prove it even more. Helly is a big part of that jets team but they have everyone stepping up while drai has been carrying the oilers and living up to that contract. Also drai>matheww all day
Hahahahaha..... Hughes by a landslide.
That backhanded "sauce" pass that everyone raves about, I don't think it's as impressive as everyone says it is.
I think it's INSANELY impressive because players have trouble making that type of pass on their forehand let alone on a backhand. Draisaitl does it with ease and incredible accuracy. 😊
You’ve both won my heart
@@RipCityStep who's both lol?
@ Drai and the Doctor Robotnik looking bloke in this video
If Hughes doesn't win it I riot
Obviously, the player on the team with a generational player is the most valuable player to their team in the league.
he's been good but Hughes is more important to his team, and should be way ahead
More important or maybe he is the only guy on the team that actually produces so Canucks fan in some weird way think that makes Hughes the front runner for heart loool. Their record backs up your statement also LMFAO ,come on pal come to reality land!!
@ Edmonton would be fine without draisaitl. Canucks would be dead last without Hughes. If the Canucks find a way into the playoffs, he deserves it. I think regardless the finalists will be all Canadian: hellebyuck, drai, Hughes.
Draisaitl should win the Hart.
I’ve been begging for the oilers to keep mcdavo and Leon to be star centers on their own lines. Last year the mcdavid Hyman McLeod line was insane and Draisitl Broberg Holloway linewas just lacking motivated wings. Now knobby wants to mess with the areas not suffering and ignoring how draisitl just needs support not just told “ save the second line please” while suffering
Well if you expect broberg, who is a defensive player, to play wing, what do you expect? Holloway didnt spend the majority of time withndraisaitl..only a bit morenin playoffs but nearly didnt play as much. Foegele played there more. Kane too.
I think the heart deserves to go to a player on a bad team carrying them to possible contention not a star player on a Stanley cup contender. Tough to call someone the teams mvp when the team as a whole is doing good I’d rather see someone from a underdog team with no expectations make a huge difference and win the heart
Bad teams arent in contension..bro..
@@dana102083 you ever watch hockey? 2018/2019 season St. Louis blues last in league before trade deadline ended with a Stanley cup. Look at werenski playing a hell of a season on Columbus carrying as a defence. Or even Wolf on Calgary they have no point per game players but wolf been carrying them into contention as a goalie. Start watching a bit of hockey before trying to be rude in comments
Everybody knows Conor Garland is the real MVP
Only cuz you like losers
@@dana102083 SMH. Learn how to spot jokes.
clearly you havent seen how important quinn hughes is to the canucks
yeah but i dont think important players on non cup contender teams matter as much. Like 2 seasons ago where Karlsson had over 100 points as a dman on the sharks was one of the most impressive things ive seen, but im not even sure if he was even in the conversation
*league mvp
Canucks fans 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Very important that is why he is bouncing end of season ,taking that highway out of the city named '' Mark Messier way '' loool
Hard to give the hart to a player on a non playoff team😂
Clear front runner?? 🤔Huh? Kucherov? Mackinnon? Hughes? Makar? Sh** even Marner? Lol I would definitely not say he's a clear front runner lol
Hellebuyck too
Toronto and vancouver dont count and neither do Russians.. whats left?.clearly a front runner :p
I still think Hughes probably wins the MVP if the Canucks make the playoffs, but that could be a pretty big "if." Drai has put himself in good position and at this point I think he's just as deserving, so I hope he ends up with his 2nd Hart trophy.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not sure he plays "better" when McDavid is out. He definitely steps up for the team, and plays _harder_ in a way that might not be sustainable long term. It's also a good chance to get some of the spotlight on himself, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The guy is the best passer in the league... AND he's leading the league in goals. When is the last time that happened? Easy choice for MVP so far this year.
Ya but can he score empty netters at an elite level? 🤦🏾♂️
It`s not only that. Draisaitl is carrying the Oil right now. All season, on both ends of the ice. He found some chemistry with Podkolzin, but no way that Pod is anyhow elite and he would be better fitted to a 3rd line more grinding style role. Advanced stats showing Drai is finally good on both ends of the ice. He plays - and wins - most of the important faceoffs. Yes, he`s getting a bit better matchups with MCD, but MCD has Hyman and RNH next to him, that`s way better wings than Drai has. He looked good with Holloway over stretches last year, and with the year Holloway has it was a mistake to let him go. Doing what Leon does is impressive. Doing it with Podkolzin and Arvidsson as linemates, is MVP. Helle and MacK also playing amazing seasons, so whoever wins it has earned it. I do not see a clear favorite, but Drai plays his best hockey so far. And it`s not that he`s coming of a bad basis, with basically 6 100 pts seasons (Covid shortend included, he had 84 in 56 games, well above 100 if he could have played 80 games).
One thing that Leon needs to work on is scoring on empty nets. The reason he's not the points leader is that he is basically an empty net hobo
Sorry the guy in Winnipeg is the front runner and I'm an oilers fan
Helle is playing insane and he made a case. 30w in 39 games, 2 GAA and .926 - he is so good.
No way haha - WPG is the top offensive team in the league, has *22* wins by 3 or more goals, and simply haven't needed Hellebuyck to be that good - he is MOP material but not remotely close to MVP given how they woulf almost certainly still be an elite team with an average starter goalie in replacement... they could swap his GSAx with an avg hypothetical high-volume starter and would still be 4th or 5th in goal differential... Hellebuyck shouldn't be MVP over Leon or perhaps even moreso over Quinn Hughes
How about that insane pass he had the other day against Vancouver ...backhand from beside his own net, to the centre line, perfect pass for Hyman who went in to score.
Yep that was a ringer. Love his passes..love davo but drai usually brings more.spice 😊
Unless MacKinnon scores 10+ points more than Drai I think he’ll get it.
I think they’ll be about tied.
@TheBunnysTrueFan MacK is playing great, but he has way better linemates. Playing with Makar and Rantanen helps, Drai would have more points if he had guys next to him that could produce. Podkolzin has 19 and Arvidsson 16 pts.
@@saschaganser9671 well now one of his line mates left, but he still has a decent in necas. Yeah I think drai is better but I think if one has more it will be like kuch and Mack last year.
@TheBunnysTrueFan Fully agree, and both just play great. Even Kuch, he would have earned it last year.
@@saschaganser9671 Yeah I honestly think it could have gone either way last year, same with this one.
True skinner.
I’m for Leon and hope he does get the Heart Trophy even though I’m not a Oilers fan .I watch him play often
Hart
Heart Trophy is in L. Draisaitl’s back pocket 🥊
Hart
my first tought was to say MacKinnon will give him a good fight for it but man Cale Makar may seriously be in the mix by the end of the year.
hello
Leon was the best junior player in his draft. Thank you Florida and Buffalo.
Are you really not going to bring up the difference in goal tending? Have you seen the flop style goal tending playing 15 feet from their crease on some of these highlights from his day? Goalies are much larger and the way they play today is sooo different.
As with most fights and retaliations in the NHL, this could've been avoided if the referees would call penalties according to the rulebook. There was clear interference against McDavid, if that gets called, this doesn't happen. But if referees change the rules - and are expected to do so - according to the stage of the game or series, this continues to be a problem. NHL is extremely idiotic in this regard. In almost any other game, the rules stay the same regardless of the situation, and that way the actions and inactions of the referees do not decide the results.
