- Oilers42

or when he said Hemsky was the best player on the Oilers last year most donkey thing I've ever read.

Dustin brown 8 years 47 million. Wow that's too much.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. totally overrated player in my opinion­, but I love his heart. Good for him.

Who would you Oil fans rather have back?

MA Bergeron, Ryan Whitney or Sheldon Souray?
- Byfuglien Ate Me

This is a dumb question...who did NOT pick Souray? The other guys are bad hockey players now.

I completely agree. There's no way we should trade Lander. I'd put him on the same level as the rest of our untouchables: Hall, Eberle, Schultz, Yak, Hartkainen, Ganger, klefbom (god I love this guy, future captain and vezina trophy winner, because he's just so damn good), petry, ference, the goalie coach, kevin lowe and the entire Barons team.

you would think these jokes would get old, oh wait.... they have, they're actually just kind of pathetic now, you're not original.

My two bits:

I always thought Grebeshkov was a very talented Dman who thought offense first and could move the puck VERY well. What I liked least about him was his turnovers.

With this team absolutely loaded with young speedsters flying through the neutral zone looking for a tape to tape pass....honestly...this could be an amazing signing. Put a guy like Nick Schultz beside him and it could work.

I love the risk/reward of this signing. Good `GMing` (is that a word?)

Souray

I have to say, no matter how impatient or hasty this type of decision might be...I am in total agreement with this line of thinking. I`m tired of waiting also and our cupboards are stocked....overpay for immediate NHL players that have heart and desire at their core.

...and get guys who kick asssses. It`s the size of the fight in the dog...not the size of the dog in the fight.

I know a poodle that would disagree.

Really can't hurt to give him a chance.

I agree, good, probably cheap signing.

Really?

We still lack depth. Cant get too crazy with trades yet.

If you guys can blog better than Cloutier step up and start blogging. If not than take his blog as the entertainment that it is and stop chirping.

bingo. blogging is not reporting. Clouts is not an insider, he is a conversation starter and his writing is interesting enough that we check him out everyday.

don't overblow it. it is what it is. hockey talk.

Smid, N Schultz, Ference, Belov, Grebeshkov, Klefbom on left side. I like the signing, but someone has to go

Excellent choice. Breaking Bad will by a nice addition to August.

Point being is if Clouts stuck to being what you just described it would all be good. He doesn't. He thinks he's an insider. He spews poop all the time. If he just stuck to being "a conversation starter" instead of a blatant troll blogger we'd all be good with it.

I think Morrow would fall into this category but not sure if he wants to play for a young team at this point in his career. He would be a good fit, only at a cheap price though.
