Oh ok, sorry. I forgot your Richard..... and cause he's gonna be an Oiler
Nail the on the small side Russian will not only just be a one dimensional goal scorer. He is going to be a physical beast that can lead teams to the stanley cup finals. When the stanley cup playoffs arrives and so does tight checking, this will be when Russians like nail really shine cause they use their size and grit to power through these environments and go to the dirty areas to score goals cause if its one thing we know about the stanley cup playoffs is that there is plenty of space to show talent which is why european players shine in this environment.
Sorry, I forgot to make that comment with my Oilers beer goggles on. Is that better? - Sheppy99
Edit: How can you forget it didn't you say you had pictures of it earlier?
The Oilers don't need Yakupov to single handily carry them to the cup that's what Eberle,RNH, and Hall are for he can ride there coat tails I am fine with that.

Nah, I don't like it. Allow me to offer this rewrite.

Well I hope they all can evenly distribute the weight cause those are some seriously fragile players outside of Eberle.
What i was referring to is what the leafs need. You don't need a franchise player. Hopefully one of your tiny tim's can develop into a strong boy and not get injured every other hit and be that franchise player.
You have a choice right now to take one player off of your team. Your best European or Mike RIchards
Let me know how long it takes you to make that decision and you let me k now what the outcome of these past two games would be without mike richards.
Thanks for coming out - Sheppy99
I'd take your input more seriously if you hadn't just watched your first 2 kings games of the season and weren't busting at the seams to drop some knowledge on the rest of us not fortunate enough to cheer for the leafs.
Oh and I'd take "Our Best Euro", You can't even say Kopitar? you really are Ol' Grapes
Hmmm, this isn't bad. Not sure I want to give up Paajarvi. I'd need to think about this one more. It's not far off, though. - Maxbone
This is way off..Johanson isnt on the level that Yakupov is and whoever we draft at five isnt either, team with best player in the deal wins the trade, Oilers miss out bigtime if they would do this.

I just put in Paarjarvi Because it would be hard to get Johansen other wise and getting second overall you guys Draft the stud defenceman in Ryan Murray and now with Johansen you guys can make Sam Gagner expendable for another defenceman.

I probably know more about your team than you do is the sad part. I didn't say Euro in case you had delusions that some other Euro was better.
I would take you seriously if you knew the players you go to war with usually show up when it's important say the PLAYOFFS and that's what youre seeing from Mike Richards right now hence that's why your GM f'n got him.

Johanson is going to be a beast the dude is big and can play what even makes him even deadlier is that he's a center.
I think none of these deals mentioned are up to par when you consider the fact that Penner got the Oilers two 1st rounders and a 2nd. 1st overall picks are worth JUST a little more I think.
He should be able to break Selanne's rookie record before the end of November I'm figuring.......... on his way home he'll prob stop for a minute to end world hunger and poverty

You guys have an abundance of young talented forwards as I have said before but seriously on the size and durable side of things? Yikes......... - Sheppy99
