he's a free agent, no need for an offer sheet
- hugefemale dog77

Sorry. Two separate points.

Sign grab or offer sheet stewart/Piet/Muzzin

Oscar Klefbom is ready for top four minutes in the NHL. He's so far ahead of everyone else in development camp, it's ridiculous. It was so blatant, the Oilers really can't stick NSchultz, Smid, Ference or anyone else ahead of him on the depth chart. There's opportunity in this. Do a magic trick and turn a left-shot defenseman into a forward.

That's it.... time for a road trip to Lac La Biche....

We can pistol whip RC with chicken drumsticks
- Reveen

Im down for that. I need a vacation, and no better place to go than Boyle AB, or wherever he lives. After he's down, we shove a KFC double down up his poophole.

If Gagner=Grabovski, why would someone wait for us to sign Grabs then trade for Gagner instead of going direct for Grabs? Makes no sense...
- KHarris

No player equals another player. They both have their strengths. Plus some teams are looking to shed salary and can't just sign Grab. So they are stuck trading at this point. Plus Grab is only going to sign with one team. If that is Edmonton, then all his other suitors would need a center still.

because mact happened to mention he was ahead of a bunch of similar aged 18-21 year old prospects that have also never played in the show, that must mean he's ready to dominate and play top 4 minutes in the nhl...

solid vets that have been doin it for years should be stuck behind him immediately.
after all, ference did only play like 25+ mins a night in the final few games of the Stanley cup finals in comparison to klefboms strong showing at the oilers prospect camp

I don't care that your blog was stupid and I don't care if you screwed up the realignment...

"Shawn Horcoff put on a Dallas jersey and the team is already -1."

This quote makes up for it ALL. Hilarious (and pretty close to true).

Seeing Horcoff in a new jersey brings a smile to my face. I think this new Oilers team will surprise a lot of people.

ima guess grabovski? or roy maybe
- hugefemale dog77

I am going for Clarkson because I am sure he will be top six and lots of pp time with some pretty talented players he did not have in NJ

What do u guys think of us offering a first rounder for ott outta buffalo?

oh id rather Clarkson, or even fillpula.

I just thought the question was who's scored the most in the last few seasons.
grabo or roy is my guess as im too lazy to look

- Snagglepuss

Not a chance that will ever happen. That first rounder could be Hall, Yakupov, Eberle, etc. Ott belongs ot otterbox, lol

Thanks for your input. I meant who do you predict will be the top scorer point wise. I like Clarkson anyway as a player and hopefully he will be available as a ufa in my keeper at #2. He should be.

depending on who roy plays with in st.loo, he's capable of putting up points. or even fillpula if he's with stamkos or st.louis.

Clarkson prob the safe bet though

Blockbuster Trade or BUST!!!

1) Gags + Smid OR Nschultz + 2014 2nd round pick to Philly for Coburn + Bschenn or Couturier.

2) Hemmer + 2014 1st rnd pick to Buffalo for Vanek... And while MacT is making deals with Buffalo kick the tires on Folingo, if they threw in prospect or Paajarvi could we get him in the deal??

This leaves the Oilers with:

Vanek-RNH-Ebs
Hall-Schenn/Couturier-Yak
Folingo/Joensuu-Gordon-Joensuu/Paajarvi
Symth-Lander-Jones
ex-Brown

Jschultz-Coburn
Petry-Ference
Nschultz-Belov/Klefbom
ex-Potter

Just got back from Edmonton today, LOTS of drinking going on!! Even the sports talk radio guys are drunk or high...630 CHED And The Team 1260!
- HawkfaninBC

Mark Spector said today on the radio he didnt think Dominick Hasek was a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, because Hasek has never won a Cup and thats a factor...(Cup 2002 Detroit). The guy won 6 Vezina's, Olympic Gold etc.. Vice-Executive of Proffessional Hockey Writers Association I see, this guys votes on awards??????!!! He doesnt take his job seriously, just is a hack, not a hockey guy at all but he always has an opinion..... Spends half his time insulting the Canucks organization, city, and fans, goes out of his way nearly every day, the guy's got serious issues to be so hate filled and preoccupied. Yet doesnt have a passable knowledge of Sports let alone hockey. Most depressing SOB in Sports media, and he gets that top columb spot on Sportsnet . ca, that's a joke.
Bob Stopher blows that guy away in my books, that guys a pro and I respect him as a hockey guy. Very in the loop.

Morris, you are a goddamn genius. Have a Keith's good sir.

MPS for Gunnarson. DO IT.

I'd strongly consider that. Although EDM needs depth. Also TO needs D

The last 2 days have been rich!

I guarantee RC claims this was a joke in his next blog, and that we are the stupid ones for not getting it. It's what he does.

Oh my God, Oscar is going to KlefBOM the "competition."

God I hope so. Kind of curious how dev. camp went. Where the eff is McCurdy? He usually writes up a story reviewing everyone there...

Offer sheeting can be an awful thing for EDM in the future. EDM better lock up Gags, MPS now and RNH, Schultz, Petry before july 1 next year.

EDM's got a lot of RFAs comin and if a team returns the favour n offer sheets Nuge to 6.5M or Schultz to 5+M it puts EDM in an awkward situation
