I'll say it again: I don't think there are any significant UFA's available.
- Maxbone

Horton isnt significant? a guy would make our team measureably better isnt significant? i see. So u only consider weber or stamkos significant.

Makes sense..

Who does Calgary take? Monahan?
- whipper334

If he's there they should take him. Obviously depends on who's there but Monahan should be.

They all aren't bad if it's short term.
- Lahey

U mean like a year? Maybe i guess. But no ones getting signed to a 1 year deal.
And neither is clarkson or horton worth those dollars. Clowe, bozak and bickell are stretches too.
We sign a SIGNFICANT free agent, its gonna be 3 years at least

How many people have actually seen Ranta play?

Quite frankly, I don't know that he's starter material. It depends, he actually looks like he'd thrive on a smaller rink.

Best thing about him is he's 24

Is there any player in any level of hockey you haven't seen multiple times?

Personally, I really wanted him to come here. But I'm not too bent out of shape about it. Goaltenders aren't our #1 concern right now.

Doubt more than a few people in North America have seen him play regularly enough to comment. A lot of people are just relying on the stats and scouting reports. He seems like he's well worth the risk though. Nice signing for the Hawks.

I've been reading different Oilers sites around the web lately. Please, people who are east of Winnipeg, stop. Seriously, you have no idea and it's hurting me and other Oilers fans.

STFU

Crawford and Emery are professionals. How do you think ANY player feels knowing the team is looking to upgrade, or looking for the future.

What was the comment about people east of Winnipeg about?
- Aetherial

RC thinks that nobody East of Winnipeg has a clue what they're talking about when they discuss the Oilers. Apparently everyone in Winnipeg (and West of Winnipeg) have insider information and have discussions with MacT.

Agree with you on most counts, especially the Raanta situation and that the oil probably not making a big deal about acquiring any old backup goalie.

Then again, what do I know being that I live east of Winnipeg
- Morris

We know (frank) all, Morris

For sure, I'm guessing that they're first or maybe Nino could potentially be had. I don't think any owner would spend the money to buyout DP for a 2nd round pick or a B prospect.
- Nucker101

I have to think it's future 1st and Nino.

p.s Gurranteed Oil take Nurse at #7 if he's on the board
- mochoson

Do you mean vs picking someone else or period?

I think it's somewhat probable we trade it in a package or trade down. Why so hasty with the guarantee?

You're far enough east that you're fine.
