I know we are a lousy team right now... but (frank) I would be supremely pissed to be a Rangers fan right now... all those big names and a big name swiss cheese in net... wow I guess you could say 'coach' Vancouver fans

From here on out, it's actually not that bad a contract.

Many dmen play until they're 38 and 4million dollars for an able-bodied top 4 defenseman will never be overpaying again.

The big WTF was the front loading, but you've payed that out now.

Totally, considering guys like Phanuef will command 7+ on the open market, Erhoff aint too shabby as a 38 year old.

I acknowledged that it's not perfect form to do that.

But also I was making a broader point: Nearly every team in the league has a guy or two that's overpaid for what they're delivering. In that sense, doesn't Ehrhoff's contract look comparably better?

He may not be what the Oilers need, but I find it tough to say that a guy who plays number 1 minutes on any team and doesn't do so horribly is overpaid at 4m.

- Morris

Agreed. I still don't believe he's a fix for us.

Well depends what they did with Dubnyk... I thought he was some 48hr injury rule... if he is off then its Labyebye Labarbara
- saskoil21


Yeah that 48 hour window is up in minutes/ hours.

They either place someone on IR or someone goes down.

Well, there's the trade thing but anyway.

LA claims to be making a roster move shortly... I wonder who is on the table there?
- saskoil21

They need to waive someone to send them down. I've heard Fraser or Clifford but I'm not sure I believe they'd attempt to waive either. They'd get picked up for sure.

Grebs will be sent down.

Edit: there are a few guys on the roster right now that we can send down without them having to clear waivers. If they cleared earlier this year they are exempt for up to 10 games before they would need to clear again.

I would not mind Clifford... he is a gritty (frank)er that we need more of... as for Fraser- well he is the definition of useless

Clifford and king would be great additions.

Would love foligno out of buffalo. I think he'd be great in our top 6.

I'd only take Coburn and Bogo. But in no way would either of those cost one of the super kids.
- Iggysbff


Yeah then it's a non-starter for Winnipeg at this juncture. IMO.

What lovely little combo gets us Bogo then considering the needs and broader vision of the Jets.

Do they want our 2014 1st right now just to lose one of their talented young defensemen?

Hmmm, Gagner?

I think Lander goes down. Something tells me Nelson had info when he named him the captain from management.

LA doesn't need N.Schultz they have Mitchell and Regehr. The point of them moving a guy is to open up a spot for a rookie. I believe Pearson, so more than likely they are trading for picks or prospects.
