Oilers Management needs to change! Tambellini was great in putting together the rebuild, but is not the kind of guy you want after your cupboard is full. Every stupid deal we make is a prospect for a prospect kind of deal, the dumbest kind in the world, honestly he should be packaging the prospects and then going for something we can utilize. 2nd round draft pick + Ryan Whitney + Prospect (Like Reider who we traded last week), packages like that can get something that can be useful, but we instead try to just go for the depth. We have enough DEPTH! so annoying.

Trust me....your're suppossed to HATE Tambelini. There's a reason he was hired for this rebuild and it mostly has to do with that smug look on his face. K-Lowe had so much negativity surrounding him from the way he handled Smyth and the offer sheets he handed out,there was no way he could preserve his rep durring the rebuild. The whole point up to now was to get a figurehead we would all hate to fire the support staff,coaching staff and acquire as many high end picks and prospects as possible for a few years, and Tambo has done that. Trust me, this is his last draft. Mac T will be in the big chair before free agency and he will start putting the pieces together. A year from now this team will be a threat in the playoff's, getting attention from free agents and Kevin Lowe/Mac T will be regarded as heroes...and Tambo will be a pro scout for the Columbus Blue Jackets or some crap.

yeah seems like a risky trade to say the least...
- Morris

Very risky. Could be Stevies last chance at keeping his job?

I've always loved Stevie Y. But this might be the craziest thing hes done. But they really need a back stop.

Am I the only one who found it a bit suspicious when K-Lowe re-hired Mac T? I wonder what it's like when he and Tambo find themselves side by side at the office urinals? I bet Tambo zips up a bit premature and rushes outta there with dribble spots on the front of trousers.

For once I will agree with you. That erat for Forsberg deal was highway robbery by Poile. Can't believe Mcphee did that. Although I think Hemsky is overrated, he is definitely better than Erat. And I thought the Oilers would at least get a d-man today. Maybe someone like Derek Morris. Again i don't hate the Oilers. Just their blogger. Hope the Oilers make the playoffs. Rather see them in than that diving team in Vancouver.

They have an abundance if young skill apparently so trading one away for a goalie isn't that terrible an idea ... Trying to build a team
