Please tell me you don't think player use the same stick as the average person buys at "Sport Chek." You do know that sticks are no longer made of wood (say for 94), and that they are largely custom made, and the player still work on them. I read your blog a lot, but please try not to sound so uninformed, and discredit yourself.

... Say it ain't to Richard
just give em Paajarvi, Musil, Rieder, Teubert, and the Ducks 2nd rounder - OilerFanFromBC
Whitney as a third pairing d-man? C'mon man, he's top 4. I understand he had a slow start last year but he was coming back from a serious ankle issue. He'll be back to form this season.

I wouldn't put him there in real life I was just naming the top 6

I was going to suggest deal that would involve Gomez, Kaberle for Horcoff+ ... it would give MTL cap relief they need and give edm 2 bodies and free cap space for 14-15 to sign RNH + JS

Gomez is a deal breaker. If anything the oilers might wait till Montreal buys him out, then sign him in the summer to a more realistic contract. That is if the oilers buy horcoff out.
Signing Arnott means your not giving up anything in a trade, cheap, and will be a fantastic mentor for such a young roster for the 1, max 2 years he'd be here.
Also allows you to have 3 lines of defensively reliable center-ice men, which makes sense when you consider the depth the team has on the wings, as well as being able to roll all 4 lines on any given night. Would be huge in a 48 game season thats a sprint as opposed to an 82 game race.
Just an idea, something to consider as opposed to the same projected line-ups people have been posting since we knew the Oilers were picking first before the draft...

I still think the oilers should have signed zenon konopka. I like the lineup but might be enticed to place horcoff on the 3rd line and place arnott on the 2nd.
