A LW that can score with the top 10 in league scoring ......As if an Alberta team is going to trade away a young star like that to the eas...... nvm

Our LW actually backchecks as well. We should at least get a pushover Swedish defenseman AND a 1st round pick.

i was thinking Shatty and Bergy but by all means Throw Sobotka in there and add a prospect coming back our way

Tarasenko and you have a deal.

Johnny Hockey will be a New Jersey Devil, perhaps not this season, but you can count on this.

Johnny Football is looking for work.

Johnny for S. Reinhart?

Can he play right defense?

Yeah, because offer sheets happen all the time, huh?

He's never given any indication that he doesn't want to play in Calgary, but people won't let it go. Can we stop already. Every time the rumours start swirling about someone wanting to play closer to home, nothing comes of it.

If he cared so much about playing in the States, why didn't he go the Vesey route?
- Hunkulese

Because he doesn't have a degree from (frank)ing Harvard!

Burke was at the rookie tourney in London tonight. Leafs vs Sens game. Possible connection there.

Well he's not going to sign in NJ and not all Alberta teams trade their best wingers for lesser D so you can stop getting your hopes up bud.

These rumors are (frank)ing retarded. Do you guys really think all
Americans want to play at home? I guess Canada needs a few more teams so all the Canadians can come home.

Enough about offer sheets

If someone wanted to do it they would have already

The only player who is going to get an offer sheet is mcdavid.

Think about it. McDavid is going to be the top payed player in the NHL within two years. Nobody is allowed to offer sheet him before that next contract us signed. It will only be on his next deal that he can be offer sheeted. So, he will already be the highest paid NHL player by the time somebody can consider making an offer sheet. So, is there any scenario that you can envisage that Edmonton would not simply match?

Yup- the next time they decide they want an Adam Larsson instead of an elite forward

We kind of have a few of those lying around we can spare one for one of the best defenders in the game right now.

Best defenders in the game if that's what you have to tell yourself to sleep at night then that's ok

He's not good in the corners. I look forward to Oil Country learning this the hard way.

Unless Chiareli gets a job as GM here... I wouldn't count on it for at least half a decade plus.

I need to be sure I'm reading that right... you actually said Larsson is one of the best defenders in the game right now??????
