Matt Henderson: G10 Oilers @ Canadiens: Hall Of A Way To Go Taylor Hall is out for 4 weeks with an ACL injury. The Oilers have traded Brown and recalled Pitlick and Eager. Tonight's game is against the Habs, can they overcome the injuries?

Yak-Attack!

All things considered we still have the offense, we still have a similar 4th line. The big question mark to me is the 3rd line and the defense. Maybe Pitlick on the PP is what is needed. He seems to want to crash and bang, throw him in front of the net. Kid has willingness and size, might react quite well to getting PP time in his first NHl game.

2) and 3) are connected imo. Get pucks to the net and crash for rebounds, and many facets of our game will improve including the power play.

I'd rather not be moving out a top 6 forward right now with Hall and Gags out for the next month.

Not a chance. There isn't one player coming to Edmonton that has star potential. A UFA and a 2nd pairing d-man that would get lit up here.

I know the folks in TO don't want to hear this. But my demands for moving a 1st Overall pick would be a lot higher than this. Like Gardiner and Rielly high.

Gardiner, Reilly, Reimer? Providing we add in something else from our side.

I wish we could trade Eager away for something.

Granted, I'm not privy to the inside info of an HB blogger, but I'm pretty confident Subban's not playing on the second pairing.

Oh cool, so you want two 1st rounders in exchange for one? I can see why HB needs your keen analytical mind.

trade that mutha (frank)a for Jim Vandermeer

Markov-PK is the 1st D pair. They play the most minutes at 5 on 5 and on the PP. They use the other plugs to kill penalties.

Does your keen analytical mind understand the value of a 1st overall pick compared to the 17th overall pick or the 5th overall pick? You're acting as if every 1st round pick has the same value as another. I assure you, you are wrong.

He sure is going to make things interesting next year in camp. Can't go to the AHL and will be battling other young guys such as Klefbom, Marincin, Davidson among others.

I'd take Gardiner, but I'm not trading Yak for him.
