Got rid of Mason but took Leighton back.

Paid too much for Gaborik who is having a poopty year and has been more injury prone than Hemsky over his career.

Big deal on Leighton, they needed a backup. They still got a 3rd and Leighton makes a 3rd of the money.

Gaborik might be having a poopting year, but so are the 3 pieces going back.

Cleared Mason's awful contract and got a 3rd out of it.

Gave the Rangers spare parts for a player type they don't have who should rebound.

They've been talking about moving Gaborik for awhile now, for what it's worth.

Meh. Mason's contract done after this season.

And "should" rebound? I guess one of those that remains to be seen.

Blake Comeau to BJ's. Wonder if this sudden change is gonna backfire on Colombus. Either way, who even plays for Calgary anymore?

The only thing about Gaborik moving is that it tells me there was a possible market for Hemsky. Tambo asking too much I guess.

Like ryan said it makes sense for both sides.

Lowest shooting percentage of his career. Laws of regression, its bound to go up.

Buffalo trades Pomm... it can't be that horribly over priced across the board.

I don't know, Gaborik is a lot more dynamic. There probably was a market to some degree, I just don't think it was that great of one.

Depends. Dorsett out, Moore probably to AHL for now. Brassard is really the key for now.

Youre kidding right? Did you see the package Minny gave up for him???

I would never pay that much.

Edit: I heard originally a 1st and a conditional on top of the players. May not be the case though....

There absolutely was a market for ANY top 6 forward. Look at what Clowe got. I think Columbus one that trade. They gave up their checkers, which they are overloaded with and a late pick for an all star. Even if he sucks, he should sell some jerseys and fill some seats but I think he will do good.

I would have liked to see us in on pomminville. He went for a song. 2 prospects? The Oilers could have sent more. Then that would buy Nail time to move up, cover us for injuries and when nail is ready to play second line we could trade Hemsky.

Also, bishop, however I think Sens won that trade. Makes you wonder what Lou is worth since he wants to go to one of the Florida teams. A top rookie and a pick is good. What more would it take?

Sounds like Hackett and Larsson to me. To be honest that seems like little and I don't even like Pomminville.

I'm glad they didn't overpay for anyone. On a side note, I can see Kipper having a solid Kipper game tonight now that all of the trade talk is behind him.

Yeah time to concentrate on the game. The Oilers can't afford to drop a game against the flames.

The good thing is from a team standpoint nothing is changing for tonight and most likely tomorrow.

Clowe picked where he was going. Pomminville also submitted a list of teams. I would not want gaborik. Doesnt fill a need. We were apparently runner up on Bishop. With what Ottawa got back I think we would have had to offer up MPS plus a pick at least. That would have been a steep price.

The only deal I saw go down that I would have liked Tambo to do was Torres for a 3rd.
