A great quote from a great man.

Yes to all of the above.

The stacks of these lames has just added up for me this morning.
They roll in first post flaming wearing a micro penis behind the wheel of a Mazda Miata.

Always good when you can get in micro penis and a miata blast in the same post.

you give him too much credit.

What about Bob Mckenzie as the oilers future Gm!!??

I would like to see us target either NJ or Philly.

Hemsky for Clarkson if he will sign.

or

Hemsky, Whitney and Gagner (we can't have two small centers as #1 and #2) for Simmonds and Couturier (with us picking up someone from them for cap space).

I wouldn't be upset to se Smyth go
- Reveen

Been saying that for 2 years... he was a mistake..

Yep...Whitney is an interesting one right now...all the talk is/ was he's out and he made that fairly clear to the media at the beginning of his press box stint but I find him to be somewhat of a galvanizing vet when he's makin the plays he has been lately...it becomes so clear how important these vets have to be for the Oilers.

If he continues to play this way and the attitude shifts I'm not totally opposed to resigning him at a bargain basement price point for defensive depth
- Salvo

(frank) no- he is a timebomb waiting for his ankle to explode

Just depends on his attitude, which in all honesty no one knows for sure. If hes had a change of heart cool, but one wonders if hes playing hard now for his own value. Doesnt make sense though if hes a UFA. I dunno. Boobs.
- sanfordnson

I don't actually see the "Whitney as locker room problem" thing as much as some others. I think he's just competitive. A guy that never wants to be out of the lineup, and yeah freaked out a little when that happened. I would expect the same thing out of Taylor Hall.

He says he wants to stay in Edmonton. He lives with Hall and Ebs. If he goes, so be it. But my guess is that it'll have to be more to do with his play than his attitude.

Confirmed attitude issue.

By the way, just wondering whether I'm crazy:

Did the Hossa to Pittsburgh trade happen? The Heatley to SJ trade? The Brent Burns trade? the Kovalchuk trade? the Carter to Columbus trade? The Richards trade? The Staal trade? The Nash trade?

Just checking, because I thought those trades of packaged assets for impact players occurred. I may be mistaken. Those kinds of trades may in fact be impossible.

Confirmed attitude issue.

not happening from flyers point of view.

what do you guys think the oilers would want for whitney?

sens could use someone to move the puck from the backend......and if it's not a long term permanent addition (like bouwmeester), might aswell be a really cheap rental.

his present value. 3rd or 4th round pick, make it conditional to 3rd if senators make playoffs or resigns.

Well point to an interview? a guy who isn't Cloutier who has said this? A particular reason not to file it as rumour?

I don't deny he has probably had friction this year. That happens when any NHLer who gives a (frank) gets healthy scratched.

his present value. 3rd round pick.
- deks1

yea i guess he could fetch a 3rd with his play as of late
