While I like Ryan Jones`attitude and work ethic (usually), he really is not an NHL level skater. He skates like those guys that play beer league hockey that never played organized hockey or had a power-skating coach. I am sure he was an awesome guy in the room, but I for one was a bit tired of watching his legs and elbows...and HAIR...move so fast, but really, he wasn`t going anywhere. Skating is such a make-or-break ability in the bigs and he just doesn`t have it.

I think a guy like Mason Raymond or Andrew Cogliano will always get a chance before a guy like Jones. You can teach those guys to chill out a bit and slow down and THINK about where they`re supposed to be/go. You can`t teach a slow horse like Jones to get there faster.

Hopefully someone picks him up and he excels somewhere. I am happy that the Oilers are able to make these types of tough decisions now. Moving on UP! (maybe the Canucks will pick up more of our garbage...ala Barker and Vandermeer! hehe)

Need 1 more for the hb oilers fantasy league to make it an even 14,
If we're stuck at 13, one division'll have 1 extra and they'll be a rotating bye every week.

Crazy 'what if' of the day:

What if we made a deal surrounding Oskar Klefbom for Derek Stepan?

Oilers could use a top 6 centre now and a two-way guy in the go-ahead. Rangers have a ton of players up for new contracts next year and though they've got a great defense, rumours of Marc Staal wanting to move have been swirling ever since Jordan was traded. Losing Klefbom hurts, but at least at this moment he appears to be behind Nurse in development. We'd still have the rights to Schultz, Smid, Ference, Petry and Larsen next off-season.

like the idea, but Stepan was a near PPG player playing top lines last year.

it'd take like Klefbom+1st maybe more

I was watching a nightmare on elm street and halloween the past few weeks. Nightmare on elm street sucks, but has a good story line. Still like Friday the 13th and Halloween the best.
- Lahey

Growing up, I didn't like Nightmare on Elm Street... I re-watched it a few years back and like you said, I realized how good the story/concept was (The new one sucked though)... Also agree that Friday the 13th and Halloween were better. I love that the creator of Friday the 13th used to make both children's shows, and soft-core porn

Is it just me or does he look/sound like he's a stoner.

I just assumed he was.

I didn't know who he was till I googled him a couple minutes ago

I want you to be able to rehearse the nitty-gritty details to us on a dime by tomorrow. All the details from where he lives down to what condom brand he uses!

read blues may look to trade for some cap room. sobotka, cracknell, reaves, or porter? most likely bottom 6 players to trade out to make room for morrow.

I have a hard on for Reaves and Sobotka

Reaves is a heavy weight that can play
Sobotka is a solid 3rd liner that can play up on the 2nd line if needed.

do it up Mac T

those two are gritty and physical vs porter and cracknell. sobotka is good, reaves is a bigger fellow. edm would have mac, eager, and brown. sobotka can play centre too if need be, i vote for him. it would cost a pick or prospect. blues don't want roster player back.

Mac would be on waivers if reaves was here. I'd take both if they wanted too move both.
