I like Bickell, but we all know he will get some serious $$$ thrown at him. What do you think is a reasonable price? That being said, even if the Oilers overpaid for him he would still fill a huge hole in their lineup, kind of like Wideman down here.
- The-O-G

Somewhere around 3M per year is reasonable. I think someone will offer him closer to 4 though.

That's because we generally suck.

How could I forget?

Not sure if Ference would come here or not, but if we aren't re-signing Fistric sign Ference. If he can't play top 4, he can damn well help that bottom pair.

Plus the guy player hard, exactly what we are looking for.

You are a (frank)ing idiot so I can see how.

I better do my talking now.....I heard the Flames are drafting Jankowski's younger brother at 6 overall this weekend.

Yes Ference would look great here in a top 4 role....... I doubt he comes to EDM

Interesting......that's what I tell people when they chirp me about the Janitor
- The-O-G

I love that has resigned to calling him the Janitor yourself.

Another guy Ryan Malone. rumor has it TB wants to move him and might throw a pick in. He has NTC until July 1st, but at 2.5mil in real money why would they have to sweeten the pot?

I'd be looking at it. Same deal with Ference, might not be good enough to play top 6, but he'd fit on line 3.

Really? And why is that? I think people will be suprised with who Mac T can convince to come here.

I was thinking 3 mil would be reasonable too. His numbers aren't that bad actually. I agree he could get up to 4.

At that price it might work out.

Malone for Horcoff straight up.

There are rumors he doesn't want to play here because it's his hometown and the obvious pressure.

Actually the funny thing is, the Dome could really use a good janitor right now

More like Potter for malone. TB is moving him because they can't afford his 2.5mil, still can't figure that out.

I'd ask why you don't apply, but I see you used the word "good"

(frank) him then. Anyone who even hesitates to sign because they are worried about preassure is the wrong mother (frank)er for this team anyway.

There are lots of reasons not to want to play in Edmonton.

Would you blame him? Look at the past and what has happened to local guys playing here.

I think what we would do is give him 1 more year then other teams would. At 34, 3 years as opposed to 2 goes a long way.

Think it's how we got Belanger and Eager.

Fans in TBay have never really like Malone from the start. He basically has been swimming in trade rumours since he got there...kinda makes me wonder if he mostly just sucks.

Would you blame him? Look at the past and what has happened to local guys playing here.
- oooilersss

I wouldn't at all.

He does have a cup though, and depending what his family situation is who knows.

You have to make the call at the very least.

Well I would, but it would look really bad for the organization if they used their first round pick on a janitor and then hired me.

Who?Comrie? Comrie did plenty of Douchey things at the end of his first stint here. Anyone else? Souray?
