If all it takes is to eat some of Gagner's contract to get "the exact type of d they need" they should take it and run, run fast and hard!!!!

Yeah I'm not so sure that's the case. If so, you're correct....

According to Bob Mac the Rags and Callahan are far apart on dollars and term....

Wants between 6.5 and 7 mill for 7 years. No way anyone is giving him that.
- Iggysbff

A first for Callahan straight up then turn around and trade Gaborik for a first straight up

Right....he said for the EXACT kind of Dman the Oilers want....which is not Leddy.....
- Iggysbff

You're telling me you wouldn't want Leddy on the Oilers? He can skate circles around the entire team. Why wouldn't they want him?

Because we have J.Schultz which is basically the same player. Oilers want a couple shutdown, tough to play against dmen.

Somebody would gladly pay him that kind of money. Always one stupid GM in July that makes your head scratch. Usually it's sather but not this year.

Im getting a weird assassination vibe from you......

No i love alfie. It was criminal how that whole crap deal went down in ottawa

Leddy would be your best Dman and its not even in question.

why would the Islanders still be interested in trading for UFA to be Ryan Miller? they are 12 points out of a playoff spot with 25 games left and a million teams to jump over.

They are done

This is a great question.

- Oneonta Penguin

It's not what we need. We need a shut down dman that can play big minutes against the top lines in the league. Not J. Schultz 1.5

Obviously someone doesn't watch the Oilers.....

Yup. A 5' 11" 170 lb lightweight is exactly what the Oilers need....

Let me just take out my notebook on Eklund that I have here...... Seriously man, how do you think nhl deals work? Gm's talk to eklund 2 days before the deal telling him they are gunna make a certain trade so he can post it first?
- Oilfan19

Yes.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself

- Iggysbff

Hell why don't we just trade for another small forward..

My guess is Wings.
- Oilfan19

Very doubtful. Vanek said his main concern is finding a place where his kids and family would love to live. That's why he never ruled out LI. Detroit is probably the llast place he would want to move his kids.

What they need is Radko Gudas!

To bad you can't have him.

- mighty13duck

Im thinking he goes to Detroit for the playoff run and signs in Minny in the offseason...

Rumor, magic eight ball whatever I've never even seen his "rumors" come to fruition.

JVR and Schenn was called from a mile away. Just one that comes to mind. He also called the Regehr to Buffalo. Not the exact time, but the discussion.

Agreed (although I think you are slightly exaggerating about the million teams).

There was a mark stuart, wheeler trade he called before anyone else a couple years ago too.

It might be Buffalo...

- Artyukhin76

Fine then we'll take Hedman instead!





I like Gudas....we could use him....

Stauffer was talking about the oilers being in serious negotiations with the kings. Gagner was mentioned but not sure what they want in return. Voynov?

It might be Buffalo...
- ImThatGuy

I hope it's not, Buffalo won't trade for him. They'll just wait until July 5th.

Oh really well I'm glad you're here to come to his rescue. Please enlighten me on the "rumors" that came true wise one.
- Carubba-Kaleta

He said that Alfie was maybe not signing and was in discussion with Boston, Philly, LA, Anaheim, Wings, San jose, Chicago, Minesota etc...

He got the Wings!!
