Clowe for LW? Zuburs for 3rd Line Center, 4th maybe Wellwood?

Hall-Gags-Yaks
Clowe-Nuge-Ebs
MPS-Zuburs-Kulemin
Smyth-Wellwood-Brown/Jones

- Oilers4Life14

this could work. in that trade we fill two holes and don't add much salary. overspending abit on clowe could be doable at that point.

zubrus is very depndable too. just a total bandaid

wouldn't rule out a 5th or 6th for Holzer, Eakins really likes this guy
would find a good spot for him on the 5/6/7

simmonds can't play defense, although i'm sure you'd hate to turn down a good hitting power forward with offensive upside.
- aries1976

exactly. that's what I see. a strong skating power forward alongside the nuge

It still makes me sick that Smyth is coming back, especially at that cap hit. Such a nice guy. We did all the concrete work on his place in Wolf Willow. Nice guy but for all his crying he really didn't take a discount at all to come back here.

You would, wouldn't you.
I don't mind Gunnarsson but Kulemin had a poop year and who knows if he recovers before he walks as a UFA next summer. How bout Colburne, Franson, and 21st for 7th, Musil, and Hartikainen's rights

I'm a leaf fan first, but also like the oilers and flames a lot, and pay a lot of attention to these teams... rarely do I come off as a homer, because i'm not..

I lived in ontario for 30 years, been in alberta for the last 7.... can't change my loyalty, because I'm not one of those... but I can look at things from both ends of the candle, that's how I'm wired.

Kulemin can PK, can play along the boards, and although the guy isn't a 30 goal scorer, he back checks, plays good positionally, and reasonably strong on the puck, with strong forwards he will produce, if he played with the oiler kids from time to time, he would produce.... Gunnarsson is the style of Dman the oilers need... if I were an oilers fan, I'd rather have Gunnarsson over Franson...

I hope the leafs move Franson, defensively is very questionable... gunnarsson isn't... Leafs likely aren't actively dealing Colborne

I worked for CBC sports for three years, if you saw what CBC made for each commercial during a leaf game versus a oilers game, you'd understand why the leafs are played every week and the oilers aren't

it's all probability... Oilers and Leafs probably won't hook up for any deals,
but as fans we can discuss, hopefully with respect, possibilities at least, that make sense for both sides....

if an oiler fan and flame fan were talking deal EG: Oilers would be mad, to not consider a guy like Glencross.... perfect player for them

see!, not all leaf fans are homers and idiots, just most of us...
but you can say that about every franchise... just easier to pick on us,
there just seems to be more of us around...

Worst is John Garrett. The guy that does the Boston home games is by far the most entertaining I've seen. That accent has me pissing myself the whole game.

I can't stand Ottawa's broadcast team, same with the Jets, Beyak is better on radio then TV.... Garrett is the biggest homer on TV, outside of the TB guys.

Hello Oiler fans.

Would you trade this year's 7th overall pick, Paajarvi, Omark and Dubnyk to Montreal for Price and Markov?
