Jagr is a possibility for Edmonton. He said good things about us when he played over seas.
- Hall Fan

He almost signed once before in '08. Interesting possibility for sure.

EDIT: ...if he's into mentoring I guess

1.Evander Kane
2.Damien Brunner
3.Colby Armstrong

Jagr to Edmonton
- Springman75

He would help like he helped giroux

Theyve pursued...and watched him go to Dallas and Boston. I think Jags would be good for our young forwards but I just dont see it.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Me too. Ready to move on to someone else. The bottom two right wingers, I think edm may need a goon. Can't let brown do all the fighting.

Decent wingers are not plentiful. Big ones are even harder to find. Cleary, Antropov, Boyes, Penner... are the types of guys we are looking at. The last two are big but don't hit.

We got gagner as our second fighter

Richard Cloutier: Oilers Have Three Holes to Fill
- Maxbone

Sounds sexy

So power forward in top 6 is basically fringe top 6, good prospect and 1st rounder

Paajarvi + marincin+ 1st and maybe a second for that type of player? Based on Ryan's return.

Anyone see Bergevin talking about big skilled guys when he was asked again about getting bigger? As I've been saying all along...

He said (paraphrasing) that they are extremely hard to come by guys with the combination of size and skill and they never come available. Teams that have them are asking for half your team back.

So filling 2LW with our ideal guy is next to impossible.

I say we target Stewart with an offer sheet and I am not kidding.

That top 6 power forward and top 2 d-man will require trade. I am waiting for the first offer sheet to be laid down. I am open to exploring how joensuu does, maybe Mac-t have a hidden gem in him.

Forwards - defense - goaltending???

Yep saw that.

Leafs Improved big time: bernier, bollard, clarkson

With the Blues failing on FA signings I think they will now go ahead and lock up Stewart and AP.

Won't work in my mind, if you low ball so the return is a 2nd then they match, if you offer enough to send a 1st, 2nd, 3rd for Stewart it will bite you in the butt.

Offer a trade, Paajarvi, Marincin, 2nd for Stewart.

Too much? Maybe, but can really pay off:

Stewart - Gagner - Yakupov

Could be fun to watch.

I'm not sold. Clarkson is way over rated. Bolland is a bandaid. Bernier in my mind is not better than Reimer.

They didn't get any better possession wise. I see them missing the playoffs.

Does that set/raise market value for hemmer?
- CrustyRooster

So-so. At some point Mac-t has to just give in ad take what he can get. Not get greedy. Teams will start looking elsewhere if Mac-t gets greedy.

If that was the price the Oilers would do it in a second.

The way we draft, we could part with a first second and third for stewart. We are not going to get a better person in the first round.

- Iggysbff

You think so? If they sign him for similar money that Clarkson got it could be a bad deal. Although if he produces like he did this season and not last season then it can be a huge win.

Yeah but MacT isn't against a rock. He has the cap room to play Hemsky if he is not traded.

Yeah if those guys (and the team) don't help in the shot differential and puck possession they could easily miss. Something we certainly understand.

Leafs are still a long ways from having a team. They have 13.5 mill in cap space with only 16 on the roster. They still need to sign Kadri, Bernier, Gunnerson, Franson, Colbourne and more. I don't see them getting this all to fit.

Clarkson was actually amazing in "possession" or directing shots. He just takes a poopload of shots.

Very simple

I'd take a flyer on colborne. Adds size but a bit of a wuss.

If we could still add coburn and add franson that'd be awesome.
