The Oilers continue to push hard on potential deals. Sources say Edmtn is aggressively after B.Cobourn.

Edm has a glut of forwards to trade from. Philly needs a top end D man and #1 goalie.

These teams as trading partners do not make much sense.

I'm thinking Holmgren will ask for Yakupov, or Hall, but will end up settling on an Eberle, Schultz package.

I would be shocked if any of those players were in a Coburn deal but I would love it if they were

I really applauded them when they decided to move on from Matt Carle given what he signed for, but the Streit deal is an about face after that.

I know they badly need Streit's skill set but sheesh now they are in cap trouble again and have to move Coburn to sign a goalie?

- Marc D


i hear ya man. i was a carle supporter, but i also thought they made the right call in letting him walk (albeit a tough decision, imo)

but now? and it's unfair to judge streit in that context i guess because he had nothing to do with all of that (and it probably had a lot more to do with suter/weber than anything else) but he's gonna have to perform pretty damn well to change my feelings on this. say what you will about carle, but he filled a much bigger role than 3rd pairing pp specialist

obviously we need to reserve judgment until, ya know, streit actually plays a game. but i'd be lying if i said i felt good about it right now
