The cap is going up big time next year, possibly $10MM, so Dallas should be ok. They're deep in defensive centre, that's for sure.. Happy for Horcoff, I'm sure he'll be much happier out of the fishbowl. Good on 'em. Anyone hear any other good rumors about tomorrow, besides Clarkson?

Does this free up cap to make a run to overpay Clarkson or Clowe?

This was a great move at the moment. We shall have to see what comes of tomorrow. If we don't get a center to replace him than we have big problems. Wondering if they already think one is coming from being able to talk to players/agents last couple of days

Would need more than Hemsky for Dubinsky.

watch horc put up 60 points

Clouts fck off! I feel so sorry for you. You give pathetic a whole new definition.

Someone post that Mactavish/Vince Mcmahon gif plz.[/img]

Potter (frank)ing sucks. Good shot or not he's (frank)ing brutal everywhere else. I dont want him even a as a #7.

And Larsen is Taylor Chorney. You don't exactly have an abundance of riches for a 7 Dman. No one really does.

Heard Rumors of Ference coming to help out our D and Potentialy be paired with J.Schultz or Klefbom

just because clouts has been ragging on this guy for 3 years, doesn't mean he's not going to bring something valuable to the stars. horrible contract, definitely, but if you don't think the oilers on-ice got worse today, then I disagree with you.

Only that the Oil have a hard on for Emery. I hope MacT has a plan. The players we are looking for if we get clarkson are less in demand. People will be after the big names. We need character two way players with size. There are at least a dozen I can list that fit our needs. I hope Antropov is one of the Oilers targets for third line center.

I can predict cloutier's blog after free agency starts and the Oilers get noone "It's okay not to overpay." More like noone would want to come here. I honestly think Clarkson would be a great fit on the Oilers. But he would be a good fit on a lot of teams as well. You have to overpay to get free agents.

Haven't heard (frank) all. After todays trade, I'm very optomistic that Mac T will find a suitor for Hemsky. Maybe Ottawa (if Alfie signs elsewhere,which I doubt), Columbus (if we get a similar contract AND retain some salary) or Nashville if they miss out on some free agents in the next week.

I doubt this move happens if there werent already a plan in place. Mactavish isnt a stupid man.

But I thought your source confirmed the Horc was gonna get bought out?

No to both. Ribiero is a crack head and Kane is a future crack dealer.

I'd Rather have Clowe, but thats just me. Who ever we get, Mac T will have to dig deep in his pockets.

I call bullpoop on that size of a cap increase. Mirtle crunched the numbers and he projected a 67mil next year being conservative and a 70 being generous.

I will laugh at whatever team signs Clarkson. He is Ryan Malone.

Is the "it's okay to not overpay" blog going to come before or after the blog that chronicles Mac T's failure at free agency?

Speaking of Malone...TBay fans seem to hate him, but is he serviceable on a line with Gags and Yak at 2-3 Mill per?
