2035 draft!!! dont be silly, deepest draft in years.

unless of course we have a high pick, then it'll change to a weak draft and whoever we pick isnt as good as a bunch of the guys picked behind him

If Darryl Katz takes on heater's contract and then immediately buys him out, I'll start a kickstarter to erect a statue of that historic moment for the new arena.

One statue of Gretzky, one statue or Katz buying out Heatley

- Morris


Why all the Heatley Hate?? He is a Team First Guy, Great in the Room, An All Star on the Ice and a Great Example for this young team on off Ice conduct. Give him the C if you get him, and Bryz and Heater will lead that locker room.

If we had taken Murray, Landeskog and Seguin, we would have been champions by now

really no one cares how the horcoff saga will end , one way or another.

I would have interest in bolland, cant see the hawks asking for a whole lot, they didn't last time they were dumping contracts.

phaneuf would still upgrade this team, 2 prospects should get this done.

newsflash - no team in their right mind will take on horcoff's 5m to play the 3rd line. it ain't happening. Lu retorts not needed. we already know nobody will take his contract.

Even though our defencemen prospect pool is pretty solid, I think the Oilers draft either Nurse or Ristolinan (sp?) if they pick 7th. We've got our 4 core forwards needed for the next 5-7 seasons. Never hurts to pick up a big defenceman with some edge to him, which both Nurse and Ristolinan have. We've got 1 of our core d-men needed (J Schultz), the ideal 2nd member of the core would be big and physical. Klefbom, Marincin, & Nurse or Ristolinan would look really good battling it out for that #2 spot.

Personally I'd trade Gagner now while his value is at an all time high and try to sign a 2nd line centre (Bozak) and trade for Bolland (depending on the cost). Bozak has a history with Eakins so there could be a potential good fit there in my opinion.

rumour is a first and 2 seconds!
he'd help for sure, but no chance i pay that for him.

as far as dion, agreed that he'd be an upgrade as he'd immediately be on our top pairing. but with ony 1 year left on his contract, u aint giving up much without an extension signed. and he needs to take at least a 500k paycut. preferably a million.

probably not unless we ate salary, or took an anchor contract back which kinda defeats the purpose.

Depends what the boat anchor is. If it's a better fit then so be it.

At this point I don't know how horc or hemmer can play for this team again.

- Lahey

short term maybe, but by defintion an anchor contract is an undesirable overpayment. generally for multiple years too.

even for a guy that fills a need, id rather not overpay someone else for the next 3 years instead of overpaying horcoff. much rather buy him out.

also, is it really that definitive that he can never play here again if he cant find a destination? its not like mact completely tore him apart. he made a few statements that it might be best for their careers to move. not only that, but we know mact is a horc fan and im sure theyve spoken. i think the media makes it seem to be more of a soap opera than it really is. these arent women

I can't see how he comes back after MacT brought up his name in the public. Would be one thing if he just made a generalization, but he didn't.

Will 2 years 7mill be enough to bring in Jagr? i think he's one of the better additions we can make.

we've wanted alzner since the 08 draft. it's been too long... and although hes finally made it, my hard on has dwindled over the yrs. an alzner Carlson pairing looks sexy but it hasn't done much for wash.

probably , but he and hemsky want to play together... so there's that... and yes I wld keep hemsky around if jagr came, but he is old and looks it, not scoring in the playoffs was kinda scary to me.
