Massive underpayment for a solid NHL player. Massive. Seriously, and mid rounder and a late rounder for an everyday NHL'er? That's crazy.
Also, like the fact that you are using a photo of an Anaheim player on this blog....foreshadowing perhaps??
EDIT: and then you changed the photo. |

Good move, good deal. Now for a d-man. |
|

As I posted early this morning on your Sens blog, this seemed like a no-brainer for the rumoured price.
It is even a cheaper price when you factor in that half his remaining salary this year will get paid by Edmonton.
Nice move by Murray. |

It's funny that everyone balked at the idea of Edmonton getting a 2nd for Hemsky, now that he gets moved for a 3rd and 5th it's a steal of a deal.

NHL player for picks later than 2nd rounders is a steal every single time it happens. |

Sounds like he's dressing tonight in CGY too.. Do we immediately put him to Spezza's wing?
Michalek - Spezza - Hemsky
MacArthur- Turris - Ryan
Hoffman - Zibanejad - Condra
Greening - Smith - Neil

Agreed. No one could tell you what a good trade for Edmonton would look like, because they'd be blinded by the Oilers logo |

Of course!!!
We keep talking about adding a D man but we have Boro-cop coming next year on a 1 way deal too, add Phillips here for 2 more and we have a full on cluster #$%? here on the back end. I don't even know what the answer is anymore but it's bad. |

Really? Any guy putting up more than 25 points a year in the NHL is worth a 2nd round pick. Let alone a guy capable of 70. |

I would have given a 2nd for Hemsky right now too, it's the Oilers brass asking a 1st round pick and a good prospect a few years ago that made them the laughing stock of the league. |

I'm surprised they couldn't at least get a 5th rounder from buffalo for Conacher
Does he wear 89 in buffalo? Mogilny number retired? |

Hemmer's been getting trashed all week by bloggers and insiders alike. The notion that we'd get a 2nd for him was considered classic Oilers lowballing antics. |

Quick note regarding the quality of draft picks. Since 2000, about 150 3rd rounders have played at least one NHL game. That's about 11 per year, so you've got about a 33% chance of drafting a player in the 3rd round that will play at least one game. Impact players from the 3rd round seem to happen around 1 or 2 times per year on average, and that's only if you define guys like Clutterbuck as 'impactful'...so that's around a 3% to 5% chance of that guy being as good as Hemsky...I'll take those odds.
Not sure why our old buddy Don Brennan thought this might be 'overpayment'. Yeesh. |

I think probably losing consistently for a near decade. made them the laughing stock of the league. The league =/= posters on hockeybuzz. |

It would probably have to include a defenseman going back for Ehrhoff. Maybe Prince + Wiercioch? |
