Why? Is Edmonton overpaying for unskilled labour????
- Garnie


We have a labour shortage, so just about everywhere in Alberta overpays for all positions. That's why donkeys can come in here, make their cash, talk poop about the place and go home. Good riddance.

not when rent is $2000 a month
- jimi james


Rent isn't that bad. You can still buy houses for under 300 000.

Myers is Terrible. To say otherwise is pure fantasy
- RynoBull


This. Great rookie season. Has regressed pretty much every season since and only got as many points as mark fraser last season (8), despite 2+ minutes of pp time per game.

Buffalo needs this guy back in a big way

Yeah it'd be nice to live in the warm part of Canada during the winter.
- robin_steele264


Sure, but then you'd have to put up with Canuck fans. Very intelligent though. I see what you did there.

So the avs get screwed on this...we are not taking Hemsky for O'Reilly.
- DDM-Coga


Yeah they would have to get something to sweeten the deal but ROR is signed into a terrible contract and is not playing like he did 2 years ago. It would be a salary dump. But I agree they could end up with a quality prospect in this to sweeten it. Maybe a player.

- DDM-Coga


Of course you would get more than Hemsky (even in my book).

It was crazy, he went on twitter and told Joey Hishon (thank mcnabb for that hit) and called him out saying he isnt working out hard enough and he should come back to his offseason training clinic...Hishon is working out with O'Brien, the same guy who trains Crosby, Duchene etc...O'Reillys dad is a messed up man

Everyone's gotta work... and believe me, we'll be just as happy to see you leave once you've paid your bills back home.
- BigDre


Ohhhh, so edmonton's the only place in Canada where one can work?

No, no. I'm not here for work. I have an education.

A lot of good points you make here, except the part about sending Buffalo D prospects. We don't need more right now.
- Jacob582


Maybe they go to colorado for forward prospects or a pick. I am not sure. I do think there is a deal here. Colorado is paying their third line center a lot of money. Edmonton their third line winger the same and Buffalo their backup goalie. Miler is not Buffalo's starter anymore.

He played well last season, 20 points in 29 games isnt bad, thats a 55 point pace for him again. He hasnt regressed at all, and his faceoff percentage, takeaway, and hits are still top of the team...I disagree with the regression part

Needs to be better than his Calder year for the Sabres to have a chance.

Idiot??? Yes of course -

It's growing and then they fly home and spend there money where they dream to live

Edmonton is NOT ALL OF ALBERTA - wow who's the idiot??

- Garnie



I don't know what I expect from someone in Toronto, (frank) you're stupid. What are the two biggest cities in Alberta? Where do people coming from out of province usually move to in Alberta? Do I need to draw you a (frank)ing picture?
