There's no trade to be made for one of the big name kids.
None of them are worth doughty or kopitar.
And voynov isnt worth any of them imo


It'll be gagner for king +
- hugefemale dog77

The Achilles heel for LA is at LW, so it won't be King without another LW coming back I would guess.

You mean Clifford?
- tomburton99

no. I mean king.
he's the much better piece for us!!

Warning you, Oil fans: When dealing small C who does't win draws, is below avg. def'ly, with $4.8 AAV, you're not going to like the return

PLEASE NOT ANOTHER EDM -KINGS TRADE!!!!!!

Yaks for Richards and Carter straight up

I doubt gagner will garner much of a return - its not like he has much to offer most teams other than being an overpaid thirdline player.

hall or eberle, on the other hand are first or second line players on most teams. they would be very attractive.

Say that 5 times fast

Eklund: LA-EDM deal gets closer....Anaheim looking at making splash. Vanek?
- Eklund

IT was always Gagner. period....

specter is a douche. he spent the entire canucks-oilers game the other week talking about how we're not big enough and don't have enough depth beyond hall, ebs etc.
true insider/expert knowledge


it's more fun to pretend that we're all expecting doughty back so the haters can say haha I told u so..derp.
but we're not.

one of those big plugger forwards that give us some tools we don't have, plus a decent add in seems reasonable if there's a deal in place

Nah, Yaks was a #1 pick. Throw in Kopi as well.

That I would do.

We do not want Oiler scrubs....

A couple of my sources tell me Anaheim is looking for a top 6 forward and talking to the Sens about Ryan.
- 1979AD

My sources have confirmed J. Silverberg is in the mix

That is why your new #1 left winger is Thomas Vanek.

Gagner can score, he's just struggling after coming back from that broken jaw. On a good team like LA he could be pretty good, and LA can't score goals for the life of them.

But I stil get the feeling all Eklund is doing here is taking tweets from other people, writing a quick paragraph blog and keeping it so vague that it sounds like it's coming from him. I could have written this same blog with my "sources", and by sources I mean twitter.

What makes you think that ?

- KingsFan4life

Scrubs? please what do you mean..do tell

I really hope MacT is smarter than this. Might just mean they are interested in drafting reinhart as a huge 2nd line centre gap will be opened up.
- JasonDh

Now that would be perfect!!! ANOTHER HIGH PICK SPENT ON A FORWARD....are the Oilers purposely trying to draft 1st or 2nd for the rest of the decade? You have a crying need at D. But take a forward....again...lmfao

I will throat punch a b!tch

he is ours!!!
- ImThatGuy

You watch out for those Flames.... they jammed us out of Monahan last year, they'll jam you out of Reinhart, somehow.

Cripes, if we would have been a tinsy bit more terrible last year, we wouldn't even be going through all this Gagner drama.

Maybe that's why Ralph got bagged?

That is why your new #1 left winger is Thomas Vanek.
- flyerdude17

Better to go with Moulson...at least there is a.chance to resign him...Vane is Minny bound in the Offseason.

If you believe that guy speaks for management than it looks that way...

Anybody want Kris Letang? Seriously?
