Do you honestly think Gagner and Bozak's trade value is the same?

Personally I think Gagner has more upside and with the big 4 in Edmonton, I have a feeling that Gagner might get misused and eventually pissed off with playing second fiddle. Liles would provide some vet leadership and help on Edmonton's PP. It might help signing Schultz.

You tell me, Gagner/Schultz or Bozak/Liles?

Not this again.

Burke is the most stubborn man, and considering he drafted him, I'd imagine he'll try hard for him.

He won't get minutes on the Rangers or in Vancouver, so you can scratch those 2 off the list.

Edmonton can be considered a serious destination... But who really willingly signs a contract to play in Edmonton?

I think Detroit is probably in the lead for him.

Edmonton theres going to be alot of salary competition with all the lotto boys on the team.

And if playing with players he knows is a big thing. Then I guess cgy still has as good as a shot as Toronto. Cripes playing time won't be an issue there

So when can Schultz officially sign? Wednesday?
- weirdoh

No. He was alloud to start negociating last night but can only sign on July 1st.

Already signed. Kept secret to avoid tampering.

Probably players that want to play with young elite level superstars who are going to take the league by storm in a max of 2 years.... thats who... (frank) the UFAs of the past- we have today and tomorrow in our dressing room...

Hemsky could easily lead the team in points.

Horcoff is overpaid but usefull.

Smyth is a gready pile of excrement.

That speaks volume as to why your team as finished 30th overall for the past three seasons.

For all we know a deal is done and just waiting to be announced.

No tampering because as of 5pm Saturday we can negotiate with him.

I thought I read he wants to play on a Canadian team, and if he truly is demanding top 4 minutes like some of the rumours are suggesting... we can cross Detroit off the list too

Calgary would make sense also

Listen... i know your big on hemsky for some odd reason but you have hall, eberle, nuge, gagne, and now yakopov leading your team. You do NOT NEED hemsky. Smyth is a leader on your team even if he is greedy with money, he is a leader and a captain on your team, not horcoff or hemsky. This is why i would choose smyth before hemsky or horcoff.

So your saying you would rather have the Leafs offense over the Oilers?

The only way he could be an even bigger genius than an absolute genius is if he put up the Leafs depth chart on defense with Schultz on the 1st pairing with Phaneuf.

sure whatever floats your boat as long as he signs with toronto

If he's smart, he'll sign here.

Sure the Oilers have plenty of young talent. Unfortunatly, that hasn't lead to any on ice results.

Also incorrect.
- robin_steele264

1) Horcoff is absolute poop

2) You have nuge hall eberle gagner and yakopov, why do you need to keep hemsky for

+ bonus... That can amount to a boatload of money. See: B. Schenn. He was sent to the minors last year so Philly would avoid having to pay performance based bonus.
- thomas81

well the Leafs can give whatever bonuses they want, they have enough $$

Think.

you should look at B-Hud's last tweet

It definitely will in the future though, Oilers just need a stud in net.

they came 29th this year

Id trade him if the return was worth it. Right now it's not.

And he does have the talent to lead this teams offense still. If hes healthy, people quickly forget just how good he is.
