No one called you out on your bizzaro reporting. Wow.

Oh and dude? You ain't a respected blogger, what a joke.

Nice trolling, Clouts!
You deserve another doughnut for your efforts.

It's both of them summer 2013 or one in 2013/one in 2014

Oh, for some reason thought it was just the latter. Anyway, still looking rough going into next season for the nucks limiting the bad contracts they can absorb and lowering Lu's value.

Well i'm sure nothing because that's what all you Oiler fans always seem to think - we'll acquire studs but we're not giving up studs in return.

Well, unfortuntately it doesn't work that way which is why you won't land Weber or any other star player in a trade UNLESS you're prepared to part with quality in return.

You can tell us all who's untouchable but you won't likely see any other star player coming via trade either if that's the case.

So i say keep dreaming, that's the best you'll do.

P.S. I heard the Avs will move O'Reilly for Klefbom, Gagner & two 1st round picks.

That's the rumor!!

Every one of these oiler blogs are an embarrassment. All these conspiracy theories (tambellini has a grudge) and dart board deals (ie Dubinsky for dubi) are just rediculous. You sound more like a dilusional leafs fan than a blogger and your so called sources must be magic 8 balls or even better....systemfool.

No way the Canucks would trade Lou to Edmonton, they aren't in the business of making their direct competition better. Only for a severe overpayment and gags isn't that. Even if in some crazy world gillis wanted to luongo would have to want to go there. Highly unlikely.

What would the oilers be willing to give up for Voynov? I know it won't happen, especially with Greene going down..but just for fun.

They're our only injured players at the moment. I guess we could do Teddy Peckham.

I find it amazing that Sam Gagner and some other asset is always enough in this guys head to land a super star. Yet Gagner is still for some reason an Oiler

Ok so I love how you make a clear and good point about why Gagner isn't the second line center you want. But the Avs have their own smaller more talented offensive center in Duchene...

What would we use Gagner for? We don't need him, we need Justin Shultz... Or Nail Yakupov. Colorado's only two areas of need are a young top pairing potential offensive D-man, and a scoring top line winger.

We are set everywhere else... Honestly Phoenix and Colorado are probably the best fit as trade partners involving O'Reilly. The other one IMO is Anaheim with Ryan.

(Not saying O'Reilly straight will get us Ryan either.)

- Steve-B


I'm not sure the Ducks would entertain trading Ryan for a center when we have Holland and Bonino working their way into the NHL. Unless of course the long term plans are to trade Getzlaf, which I honestly don't think is happening (one of Perry or Ryan will go first, and Getz seems pretty content with the Ducks).

O'Reilly would be an upgrade at #2C over Bonino this season and/or Holland going forward, but I think his contract demands and the upcoming center depth for the Ducks would make that trade unnecessary.

Agreed, and it's time you learned that Gagner is not as good as you think. He is basically an average player. Most likely suited to a third line center role, except he doesn't play hard enough.

He definitely overvalues Gagner in trade return potential, but I do agree with his point that the Oil could use a bigger center to give the top six two different looks. Gagner is good but is not the big, power forward type center that would do that.

I am not sure O'Reilly is though either.

You're right. There was only one. Ever. How about you keep on topic for once? Oh yeah. You can't because you lack any level of hockey knowledge and the attention span of a prairie dog.

No denying that Gagner isn't the right choice, it's not to give them a different look but because Gagner isn't good enough to be a full time second line center.

O'reilly would be an upgrade for sure, but I doubt that the Av's would want Gagner

What if i was Gagner and PRV? Would you guys do that? Maybe Colorado throws a 2nd rounder your way to balance it

You're awesome pal, I bet you can't wait for his next blog where you don't trade one of the young kids for a different superstar, yet Gagner and second rounder will get it done.

The reason Luongo isn't an oiler isn't because Gagner is an overpayment let's just say that
