Fist!!! Suck it Oilhorse.....just cause it's been a while.

so what was it the rags were going to give back?

“It’s a foolish word in pro sports, ‘untouchable,’” Dave Nonis.

It's almost like he's directly calling you an idiot.

So Oiler garbage is available for top line players. Got it.

"- Let's talk about teams that need to move salary. Would the Flyers part with Jakub Voracek or Wayne Simmonds?"

Unless one of the super kids is coming back don't hold your breath

Step 1: Talk about untouchables.
Step 2: Make up line combos.

Both great players, but the asking price would be to high. For either of those players..

If I'm macT I'm calling St. Louis daily and harassing them about oshie.. Would look great in oiler silks.. Would probably start with next years first and a high prospect.. Maybe a marincin?

Instead, we could talk about how the Senators owner is going bankrupt and how the situation is going to screw up one of the best young rosters in hockey.

Agree with most of this. Mentioning prospective players without pitching deals is a good way to go about these kinds of blogs.

Good job!

Most of our assets aren't oilers yet. Most of our best assets don't have names yet.

No one is interested in 1st or 2nd round picks eh?

Somehow I don't believe that in a couple of years when the oilers become tighter at the cap and the shoe is on the other foot that you're going to be okay with this kind of response.

would be a more worthwhile topic than watching you play ea sports hockey each blog with these lines. whats sad... and I am serious about sad because I feel bad for the oilers fans, is that the aforementioned owner might have a winning team soon and longer than the oilers!

That's what any sane person would go for, I wouldn't mind seeing Hartnell shipped out though. If I were macT I would try to land oshie, that package you suggested seems like a good trade, then either try to trade gags for a winger to play with him and yak, or perhaps sign boyes and trade gags for a decent goalie. Halak and dubie is a solid tandem.

Relevance?

The Sens just picked up Bobby Ryan, who is better than over-hyped Silfverberg, junk prospect Noesen and an old man Alfie. Sure, Bryan Murray is definitely screwing that organization by bring in a 35 goal scorer. But you know about 35 goal scorers lately don't you?

StL has 7.8. AP gets 4.5/4...leaves 3.2

they have too many forwards (15 on roster as per CapGeek) and Dmen (drop Chorney).

they can clear another couple of M to give CS 4.5/3.

Those players need to take a discount this contract. The Blues have already gotten Shattenkirk to do it, no reason to think they cannot do it again.

Peter Pocklington owns them?

Love to get Hartnell for a good price, but I'm so confused in talking to flyers fans: half of them want Eberle back in return and half of them want to drive him to the airport themselves.

What do you figure he's worth?

If I did that it'd just be a huge mess... I wouldn't want to leave anyone with that clean up, it's tasteless
