I'm going to be busy tonight.

Sounds like they needed contract room for a bigger deal, hopefully.

You know what? I think you're right -- I don't know the ins-and-outs of your organization nearly as much as your fanbase, but I don't think you move an NHL defenseman with his cap hit for what you guys did without doing something else.

In other words: I wonder if you guys are doing some business with the Rangers for Del Zotto or the Flyers for Coburn

Yakupov to NYR done. MDZ going other way.

Honestly nothing. The team's got nothing to lose, but a roster spot!

That's true I suppose. Maybe the Smid trade is a setup for something to the tune of Simmonds and Coburn for Eberle? (obviously not the exact deal) I guess Oilers would have to make cap room if they were to do that, so maybe that explains Smid.

Forget MDZ. I want Mcdonagh.

Why would the Oilers, who are struggling right now move out Smid? Must have something else lined up no?

honestly, it's either that or they've cashed in this season and going full rebuild. again.

I think Fedun and Larsen made Smid expendable.

There's reports that the Oilers are on the verge of signing Bryzgalov. Not surprised as I mentioned a month ago they were looking at him

well that's anticlimactic
