Adding Lapierre and Clutterbuck would be extremely great in the bottom 6.

A line of Brown Lapierre and Clutterbuck would make the oilers a lot harder and more annoying to play against.

Here's my thought today. (frank) it, let's go buck wild and take every deal on the table.
Let me just daydream a little bit

Pitlick + Anaheim 2nd <--> Cal Clutterbuck
Hemsky + 7th <--> Cowen + Smith
Nick Schultz + 2014 Edmonton 2nd <--> Scott Hartnell
Sign Lapierre and Emery

Hall-Gagner-Yakupov
Hartnell-Nuge-Eberle
Pajaarvi-Smith-Clutterbuck
Smyth-Lapierre-Brown

Petry-Smid
Schultz-Cowen
Belov-Klefbom

Dubnyk
Emery

- Morris




You know- I like this... and too add a bit- if we are not getting rid of Eager I say lets keep him for the 4th line as well... He and Brown could be a handfull

Minnesota & Edmonton are no longer in the same divisions, thanks to the upcoming re-alignment.

Yeah I wonder about Eager...I still feel like in the right situation he could effective. I don't know if that's in Edmonton, but he got good reviews from OKC.

Coburn could be an effective #2 D, but he needs to be paired with a player like Kimmo Timonen in his prime to do it. Otherwise he is better in the second pair.

Coburn is a very good skater, has good size, a very erratic shot, and really took a step back this year when asked to perform as more of a puck moving D.
Playing a lot with Gervais also hurt him.

He can play 23-24 minutes a night.
With Mezsaros and Grossmann having health issues, the Flyers would need another top 4 defenseman if they trade Coburn.
I just can't see Edmonton being a good trade partner for this reason.
Coburn is a solid player when used right.

Hardly. Last time I went to KFC, I tried ordering nuggets last time I went there. They don't make them anymore, apparently. Don't like popcorn chicken. Too doughy,

On Horcoff:

If we actually retain a good-value contract for a serviceable player in return for two years of paying a portion of Horcs salary - that, my friend, is way less revolting.

Trading one of those "untouchables" for an all-star D would be smart. Or else your small skilled forwards will love golf as much as hockey. Mac T will make a move to some degree in that direction. Obviously it will have to be a Letang type of D, but it is important for success. Any GM or armchair gm who says someone is untouchable is stupid, you do what you can to make your team better regardless of what player you send off

I actually need to stay away from that place. My liver more or less doesn't work, so I need to avoid eating grease as much as possible. I liked life between when I was 21 and could finish an entire cheesecake, just because I was bored.

This.... Eager if not in jail and if his concussion challenges are in check- would be needed on this team IMO...

Hell yes. Moreover, spread it around. Clutterbuck on the third line some nights.

I was very excited when he signed. he filled a role that was so desperately needed.
but for one reason or another, he just refused or was incapable of consistently playing that style. (not saying it`s easy on his body)

ive sorta given up on him.

but him, brown and another physical player signed to our bottom 6 makes us a much more miserable team to play against. I was hoping torres, but he`s been wisely locked up by SJ

First time I had one I took 3 poops before finishing it.

Second time only 1 poop.

Third time back to three poops.
