If Canada wins a gold medal, then there's that. If he's that butthurt about it, he ought to bring it up with Johnny T. It was as much his decision to go as it was anyone else's. - MaximumBone
Next time around the league just won't allow players to go. |

Interesting trade proposal in Lowetide's ON blog today.
"Trade D Oscar Klefbom, C Sam Gagner and 2nd overall pick to Philadelphia for D Braydon Coburn, C Sean Couturier and 17th overall pick."
Thoughts? - TheNugeIsHuge
I'd take it. |

I don't see why PHI would do that now. Maybe in the summer, but at this point it makes them worse to close out the year. |

If that happens, I can see an exodus of Europeans from the NHL (if only for that Olympic season). That having been said, if they really do end up forming those summer World Championship tournaments as a substitute, I can't see it being a problem. |

Ya. You gotta think the only way that happens is at the draft and if they love love love a guy going top 2. If Ekblad is there I wonder if they would |

Doubtful that there is an exodus, they tried that once already with the KHL and it didn't work. You might see guys like Jagr or Selanne leave the NHL for that last shot, but you aren't going to lose those 25 year old superstar euros unless they are homesick. That and how much does the Olympics really mean when the best in the world aren't there? It would be like Canada winning the world cup of soccer when all the good countries decided to boycott.
And yes the World cup of hockey is suppose to be back soon.

If Ekblad is there I don't see why we would do it though. I don't see Coburn as elite and neither is Couturier. Very good players, but Ekblad is going to be a guy you build around. |

If there's ever a team who'd do such a deal, it's Philly. Without checking their cap situation, we may have to take some salary off them, but I'd say it's pretty close in value. We bolster our top-4 D, get a needed and different dimension at 2C, and a chance to still pick a solid player. They get one elite D prospect, an almost NHL-ready D prospect, and a fairly young and skilled- albeit expensive- 2/3C depending upon how Vinny ages. |

I guess it depends on EDM's thoughts on Ekblad. Couturier'd be a perfect fit in EDM. Good sized, 2way, 2C. |

I would hope that if everyone else believes Ekblad is the real deal then Edmonton should be on the same page and just draft him... |

Well....go visit Florida and ask your brothern to pack up their crap and move back to fine the world of Edmonton, Alberta. So nice, that Mrs. Pronger cried, pleaded, and begged her husband to get traded out of that hell hole.
that's AFTER they made a game 7 of a cup final.
At least you got the 80s to reflect back on......and Billy Ranford. - SteveRain
So where in the states should a person live if they don't want to be shot in a movie theater, high school, a restaurant, as a firefighter going to put out a fire, kids in an elementary school, at work and I am sure I am missing quite a few other shooting hotspots down there. Keep throwing those glass stones in your glass house ya ignorant, arrogant, egocentric cretin. |

I hope Edmonton can pass some of the teams that are injured, selling or just losing steam. If we're at 4th-5th overall, there's a major opportunity to trade down.
If there's one thing people seem to overrate, it's the difference between 5th overall and 12th overall. |

The dude from Chicago just go kinda quiet all of a sudden. Just a hunch. He was definitely worthy of your almighty banhammer. |
