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.

Didn't leafs add another d-man? If that's the case, would leafs trade edm a d-man? I just think edm has enough top 4 d, need a top 2.

Why do we need so many Toronto players? Can't we look at other options?

That only fills two. One if youre laughs. (he has elf hands)

You can use your toes.

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

hate to tell ya but your crappy oilers still don't look anything special and will most definitely miss the playoffs again...the leafs will find a way to make all these changes pay off,were better today then we were 2 weeks ago..

Not an Oilers fan but man imagine if you signed grabovski then flipped Gagner+ for Oshie/Perron and made the Hemsky for Zack Smith trade. You'd have:
Hall-RNH-Eberle
Oshie/Perron-Grabo-Yakupov
Paajarvi(sp?)-Smith-Gordon
Iv'e gotta say thats a damn good top 9

2nd rounder. Kind of figured they could get more.

Kind of pissed Vancouver lowballed us on Schneider because we're division rivals and then this poop happens

(frank) you. (frank) you very much.

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

For sure, part of me wishes we were...I guess philosophically in a position to keep up with that offer from Toronto.

Ference can play 25 minutes a night on a stanley cup team and a easter conference title team, he's playing top for here clouts why the hell do you have him on the third pairing?

Oh damn just saw matt cook signed with the wild. Already hate that team. If the oilers didn't sign cook i wanted him to stay way the hell away in whatever they are calling that other conference.

The Oilers got a little better today - that is all. We'll see, pretty sure the posters here have no delusions.

Yeah I've come around on his cap hit but i still seven years is too long for a non-elite player at 29.

LW hole: trade options

Boedker - 6 ft 211lb and fast. Not ideal but doesn't lack size. Plays 2way
Clifford- ideal

Ufa: Brendan morrow- I wish

I think Gordon will be good. I think he could be far better than Horcoff, and he's paid 2.5 less per.

But he might be worse. I really hope you guys haven't anointed a saviour. We need at 2 more guys that can successfully play centre if we want to stay competitive through the rigours of a full season.

Solid signings today. Not spectacular but not stupid

We are or we're better today
Playoffs once in 9 years and no cups in over 40 and all of a sudden you are perennial contenders and other teams suck? Keep chirping, it is quite entertaining.

Ference will be playing on the top 4 in Edmonton. Great signing, wanted the Leafs to get him. Gordon is a decent player that can win faceoffs but he is terrible on offense. Not sure 3 mil per year is right for a faceoff speacialist. Edmonton offered Clarkson more money, glad he snubbed them and sign with us for less money.

Because clout's knows jack about hockey is why he has him as a 6/7 dman.

yeah in terms of being a competitor, we get a C+ today, in terms of bang for your buck we get a B- and in terms of getting better we get a B+

Gordon is not as soft as Belanger so we improved

I think we move paajarvi this summer. Either for coburn or a similar deal for top6 LW with size (not straight up). I hope something else gets done this weekend. I don't want to refresh twitter every 5 min this summer

Edit: similar to Ryan's deal

Ference with j schultz. Or even smid/j and petry/ference. Those 4 depending on preference, handed etc.
Not only is ference better than nick, but we dont want nick playing those kinds of minutes. True 3rd pairing defender.

(frank)ing jailbait....just wait til your older and you'll find out there are sooooo many way better options...
