I think Monohan or Lindholm will be there at 7. I forget who from ON said they also really like Bo Horvat. Trade down and pick up a another pick if need be.

Bad press for the Nucks? Getting the nightmare of the goalie controversy over by any means will be good for them...

And if they get someone to take him on waivers they'd be happier than buying him out. I have a hard time seeing anyone taking him on waivers even though....

CBJ Bob offered 10 Mil a year. Kipper retires Flyers buy out Bryz. Could happen , not saying it will but there might be a team taking him. Leafs do have two backup goalies also they may take him.

Eberle rnh hall as number one line and yakupov gagner nichuskin as a second line. What a mix of speed vision power and skill. Trouble for any defense in the NHL. Let's hope we can put together a third and forth.

teams like PHX or NYI'd welcome Lu with open arms. Why put him on waivers when you can deal him for a 7th round pick?

Less if a press disaster, goalie controversy averted

The think I like about Bob Mac's list is its a consensus of only ten scouts but it also has below it the rankings of the various other sources (ISS, CSS, McKeen, THN, CB). Having watched only a handful of Nurse and Ristolainen and a few highlights I really couldn't say who is better. Not sure how Clout can either.
The thing that REALLY puzzles me is how Nurse is very consistently ranked by all at 5-8. Whereas Ristolainen is anywhere from 8- 25. One wonders why the disparity in Risto's ranking. I'd take either.

Cloutier has never seen any of them play that's why

Nichuskin hasn't played an NHL game... Remember a former top 10 pick named Magnus Prv? He's supposed to be a (frank)ing all star if we go back 3 years. Instead he's a tweener. Not enough skill to be top 6 and is a complete puss.

Nichuskin could very well be that.

Why would Phoenix want him? I'm sure the ownership would love to pay him until he's 60 years old cause they have money flying out there asses...

My top 8 are the same as TSN's. Bob said he wasn't gonna copy, he'd just read it, dammit!

no goalie. They wanted Lombardi

Exactly.

He just reads from ON and makes himself sound like he knows what's going on.

Phoenix is a lovely place to retire.

They'll sign a reclamation project like they did with Smith and Bryz. They play a defensive game which makes those goalies look good.

- VANTEL

Haha.

I want Edm to pick up Luu just because he's an absolute beauty.

I can see Phoenix signing Theodore and make him look like an Allstar.

And Omark could outscore Eberle

I think that deal is a steal for the oilers. Wouldn't waste too seconds making it. I think it's MPS and maybe both seconds in the draft, or next years first. Either way i'd be happy to have bradon

that's unlikely as f***
- TheNugeIsHuge

And what do you know?? Emery is twice the goalie Dubnyk is and Emery makes his team mates accountable for their actions when he is in net. He calls them out if they are not working hard enough. I love Ray Emery and there is no doubt in my mind him and Dubnyk would be a solid tandem with Emery likely being the number one.

- Ihatebrianburke

Yeah could. I really emphasized the could.

Wait until he comes back with another team.

Eberle is garbage.

well Dubey just had a .921 facing the 2nd most SA/G in the league on one of the worst teams in the league, and the last 3 times Emery has played over 25 games he's had a .900, .905, and an .890. That's why.

He could also be the next malkin so the possibilty is exciting.

What is this deal again, Magnus for Coburn is not likely to happen, flyers do not need more forwards, they need more dmen so I doubt Coburn is going anywhere. The oilers first rounder in there could make it happen though.

watch an oiler game once ya genius

Eberle and the 7th for Logan Couture.

Haha.

I would be all for acquiring him after a buyout. Just not on his current contract.

Being the pessa mist that I am, I think Oilers fans including myself will be dissapointed by the lack of trades and aquisitions that MacT makes. Not because he isn't going to try, but because you can't get something for nothing.
- pj50

you mean u wont be getting Gardiner, Reimer and a 1st for Gagner as Clouts suggested. Okay thats last time I mention it I promise
