Over the past 6 months I have seen Clouts come up with some wild rumors. Many have spurred on great conversations. However, I am disappointed when people begin to call Clouts all kind of names. If you don't like his blogs don't read them. If you disagree with his ideas explain why. Ie. Clouts: I disagree with your thoughts on Lucic (which being honest was a little crazy ) becoming an oiler because the Oil are unwilling to move one of their young guns to get it done and really Boston has no interest in trading him. Clouts is a blogger who does was blogger do: inspire thought and discussion. Don't like it don't read it...

...ummmmm.... if that's the solution then maybe don't read their comments big guy...

So when are the oilers going to get Stafford, and how many Omarks are we going to trade them?

What's the exchange rate on Omarks to Rupees?

EDM's SV% this year was .917.

BUF's SV% this year was .913.

Who needs goaltending help?

- TheNugeIsHuge



Part of the problem here is the name associated with those numbers.

When dubnyk has a 917 save percentage, he's weak and needs to be upgraded

When former olympic hero Ryan Miller has a 9.13 save percentage, It's the Fwd's and D's fault.

I still think Miller's a very good goalie but if you remove the name from the equation you're looking at a high priced goalie in the last year of his contract coming off a down year. Goalies don't have the same value they had 5 years ago.

That's not to say they aren't important, just that teams are less likely to break the bank for them. Hell 5 years ago Goalies going 1st round was no biggie, now if you bring up drafting a goalie in the 1st round, you'll get crucified.

nobody is untouchable. an oilers fan should know this better than anyone.

hall can be dealt just like everyone else.

hall and dubnyk for miller, vanek, erhoff, stafford, folingo.

yeah, you'd do the deal.

Takes two to tangle, and I'm not making that trade.

Foligno=Fan favourite
Ehrhoff= Read Travis Yost's article on how good he was last year

And tbh, the oliers don't really have a pressing need for the other three.

So trade for the core that was as bad as hours and less potential? How does that help us

I believe it's the points he scored with Zug this year (69) divided by the number of words he knows in Russian (6) multiplied by the coefficient of shootout dangles (1/13).



So 88 cents.

Miller may be better than duby, but not that much better that warrants Edmonton giving up a 1st prospect roster player more cap and attitude. The combination of all that together makes Dubnyk a better option for Edmonton at this point in time. Dubnyk is definitely top 3 or 5 under appreciated goalies in the league. And his lack of ego and need for attention creates no distraction like Miller could/would

Clouts brings up Nick Foligno. That's a guy I'd call Jarmo about. Gritty LW that can score.
