Sooooo pretty much just Russians and Canadians lol. Yes I know there are a few other nationalities mixed in there. Kariya was always my favorite. - ALEDDO
Brind'amour at 36 playing over 24 minutes is damn impressive too. Also he is from my home town and I knew his dad quite well.
Meh, seems to generate some pretty good banter and trolling - ruttager17
That has less to do with him and more to do with how passionate Oilers fans are, if Joey Moss was the Oilers blogger it would be the same level of fan involvement and probably be better quality blogs to be honest.

Nah, its tough to say they will keep this up, like can Brodeur keep up this level of play at his age?

They have a relatively deep D, some decent forwards. Don't see them going to the finals again but they should make the playoffs.

You know and I know they don't work that way. The Oilers ever since Katz and Tambellini have been an extremely secretive organization that says absolutely nothing to anyone. The only person with real inside information is Stauffer, because of who his friends are. Whenever there are information leaks about the Oilers, it's always the other teams (see Bryan Murray in Ottawa) who are doing the babbling.
It is a well-known and well-established thing that the MSM in Edmonton hate how Oilers management don't talk to them anymore. The contempt shown for Stauffer from some guys is embarrassing.
But let's not get off topic...If you read my blogs I constantly explain that I'm giving opinions and offering ideas. There have been blogs where I have discussed things like the inner workings of the arena mess. I had an actual source there, and I have absolutely no willingness to discuss who it is. Obviously I'll never get information from that person again if I give more details. Why do you think they'd come to an idiot blogger like me? Because I'm 1. Well read, and 2. No one takes me seriously, so the source has no fears of ever being connected to me.
I get more information than you realize...but of course, you've made up your mind about me already, so I'm wasting my time explaining this. - Maxbone

Ryan Getzlaf was drafted 19 overall. We could deal our 1st rounder plus Gagner plus two good prospects and maybe get back a player of Getzlaf's calibre.
Sitting at the #19 spot is Frederik Gauthier, who is 6"5 and 209 at the age of 17 and is scoring > 1ppg in the QMJHL.
Sure would suck to watch some other team use our 1st round pick on that guy, wouldn't it? We don't have to miss the playoffs to get a great value in this draft - but we'd be very reckless to deal our 1st round pick. - thefullnelson
The problem with being this big this young is that when you get to the bigger leagues, you don't know how to beat someone your own size.
