Yea, filling the first line hole by creating a second line hole(that can be filled by our current 1st line center, or one of our 2nd line center prospects) is an awful idea.

Sure miss Sundin these days, A big kick ass centre sure changes the game, thats why we cant get one....lol

Hahaha, I diss all my buddies at work that are canadians that root for american teams, but if the leafs folded (lol) or whatever I could never root for another canadian based team.

I do however don't understand how a canadian growing up ends upbeing a U.S. based franchise fan right out of the gate.

The younger guys now i understand with so many sattelite packages but 15 yrs ago we didnt really have that.

I could be an oilers fan: no direct rivalry with the Leafs, fanbase isn't retarded like the nucks, team has a future unlike the Flames.

I never said, or thought he would be.

Im just saying that package is as close as theyre going if they trade him. That is all.

Thats a potential lottery first rounder, Kadri has shown he can play he just hasnt proven he can be a star or elite player, and Grabovski had close to the same amount of points as Getzlaf.

How is that not a good offer, and what team will offer more? What are you suggesting the package should be, if that isnt good enough?

He is saying no package Getzis staying put.

There's just something about the team that I like...I think it's Tee-Dot...

If Sundin in his prime was available, and the team wanted Grabovski in the trade, we shouldn't do it. It'd open a hole on the 2nd line.


WHAT WOULD WE DO IF WE HAD A HOLE ON THE 2ND LINE!??!??!!??!?!!??!!?


Connolly, Bozak, Kadri, Colborne, none of them want that role, or would fight for it.

The new Oilers have a chance to be the old oilers, Very good hockey back in the day, I would watch oiler games if the kids all panout as expected.

1. I haven't suggested what they get in return.

2. You don't know that, so stop assuming.

You suggested they should get more in return. Thats a suggestion.

THey wouldn't be able to stick together for long, salary cap would force the team apart sooner or later.

I already said that myself. Does this mean he is argueing with himself. Its as productive as trying to bite your own ear off. Good on him, I applaud his bravado.

- Gunslinger

Im saying that package wouldnt get it done because thats not what they need.

Not once did I say they should be getting more.

Just because you add a lot to a trade proposal to make it look better, doesn't mean it'll be better.

I just shat myself!

A second line centre can be filled, that elusive superstar centre is not.

Yea man, I hear ya.

I miss having a Sundin, Clark, Gilmour around.

Colborne,Connolly, and a 1st will get it done guys!!!

A 2nd line center, a prospect that has shown he can play in the NHL, just isnt elite, and a potential good pick!!!


Lolololol!!!!

They need a lot of things. Not just one piece. They need a reliable goalie, a dman, center depth, wingers...the whole lot.

They have 4 elite players, but beyond that its a crapload of crap.

Glad you agree. They need a center.

Exactly why they wont be trading their first line center away for a 2nd line center. Im sure that would fix many problems.

Dude, this is Getlaf manzzz

Kessel, Gardiner, Reilly, Lupul, Grabovski, Kadri, 80 million first rounders.....and thats just to start negotiations..

XZOMGXXX

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!! (in caps with more !'s because it appears someone internet battling me or something)

Are these your lottery numbers for today?
- Flyfreaky

If they are the are the losing ones

Thats Getzlaf's stats from last season.

When you follow up two 19 goal seasons with an 11 goal season you are NOT a superstar. A good player yes but no superstar.
