He's a FA in the summer so it wouldn't be an important roster player... similar to the kovy trade IMO, i could see PRV, Omark and and conditional pick if Semin resigns.

Well, yeah, but if he was going to go to a team like the Oilers, it would of course be conditional on Semin re-signing with them. Or else, why would a non-playoff team trade for him?

PRV, Omark, pick actually isn't too bad, because those are assets which can be easily re-flipped. PRV-Backs-Omark line? Super Swedes.

Oilers dont need Semin.

I was thinking more of
OVY-Backstrom-???
PRV-Johanson-Omark

Exactly.

Ryan Jones to StL for Ryan Reaves should be looked at. Jones has been a healthy scratch last 3 games, STL's Langenbrunner is out 8 weeks and Stewart is slumping. Jones is a high tempo guy that fits in perfectly with Hitchcock's style and you can't have enough grinders come playoff time. Reaves is 230 lbs, gets only 6 minutes a game and has 127 hits, only Smid (134 hits) has more on EDM...Reaves is all sandpaper and can scrap too, exactly the type of role player EDM needs moving forward.

We draft Grigorenko who would probably be good for 30-35 points next year.

Along with Horcoff and Belanger who should put up 35-40 points each.

So a 2nd year 1st line center and a rookie 2nd line center, yah I can see that going well.

Id do PRV + Jones + Hordi for Stewart and Reaves

didn't reaves just sign two more years?

Overkill. You have three legitimate top-6 wingers already.

But member Hall and Ebs would be in their 3rd year

LOL!
Doesn't make me jump out of my chair either.
Obviously Horc and Belanger are the answer so why not see what you have in Lander?
- Cheech in Texas

Or not trade Gagner!

who? cause PRV maybe top 6 in the AHL but not in the show yet

We can already make some fancy lines.

Id rather get... you know... some grit, a dman, a goalie...

something that we obviously need... not another smallish skilled forward.

Semin isn't small.



He just plays small.

Trade Semin to Calgary it will fit perfect for them...

Hall, Eberle, Hemsky...
- Blackstrom2

that means the oilers need one more......

Smyth-PRV-Jones are all 3rd line wingers they don't belong in the top 6

Semin isn't small.

Point still stands.. Oilers need a Hartnell or Lucic if anything at forward.

Not a Semin.

Not necessarily. Most teams don't have 2 legitimate top-6 wingers, never mind 3 like in Hall, Eberle, and Hemsky. You can find some tweener to fill in the other spot...a Brouwer/Knuble/Smyth type of guy..

Agreed 1000%

Anyone see the Flyers - Flames last night?

My god Hartnell is so (frank)ing awesome.

how bout this pipe dream then?????

Gilbert + Jones + 2nd + Hamilton - For Stewart + Reaves
PRV + Omark - For John Carlson
Bulin - For Beach
3rd - For Bobrovsky

Point still stands.. Oilers need a Hartnell or Lucic if anything at forward.

Not a Semin.

Who cares about the style. As long as they put the puck in the net who cares.....
