I'm not an Oiler fan but man I think that deal would be done in a second by anyone from Edmonton.
- Aaron_85

I know I would without any thought at all

You're not saying anything we don't already know. Also, do you think any of us fans can do anything about it? The only way to send the message is to stop spending money on the team, but that won't happen on a large enough scale to actually make a difference. They better hit a god damned home run when they hire the new gm.

I’m not 100% on this but I don’t think Marty Mcsorely is on the payroll yet.

Katz reads Ekbuzz and just hired him, thanks

Ott hangs up!

Considering the reported asking price for Duchene is two first round picks... i'd assume Stone's would be higher.

HitchCOCK should just resign- the team is beyond hope- and fact he made them (frank)ing worse if you could believe it... This team couldnt score to save its life now

Yep cause this years first most definitely will be expected to play immediately...

You think this is a bad patch for the Oilers?

NHL Rumors: Hall, Duchene, Capitals, Devils, More
BY JIM PARSONS FEBRUARY 20TH, 2019


In today’s rumor rundown there is news on the Washington Capitals who are making surprising waiver wire plays, some whispers about a potential Taylor Hall reunion with the Edmonton Oilers and Marcus Johansson being available out of New Jersey.

Lots Going on In Washington

It was first reported in the morning the Washington Capitals were placing Dmitrij Jaskin on waivers. Not long after, a big shift changed and Jaskin wasn’t put on waivers but Devante Smith-Pelly was. The move was quick and a bit surprising.

Elliotte Friedman later tweeted, “Todd Reirden said it was ‘an organizational decision’ to make the waiver switch. Indicated there are things going on behind the scenes. ‘There is lots going on right now.”

Does that mean the organization is unhappy with Smith-Pelly? One has to think he’ll get claimed off of waivers considering his playoff performance last year for the Capitals and his relatively low cap hit. Does it mean the team has a trade in the works for Jaskin which meant he didn’t need to go on waivers?

Taylor Hall to Edmonton Buzz
Friedman also stated that the Edmonton Oilers should take a second to see if Taylor Hall is potentially available out of New Jersey and if he is, inquire as to what it would take to bring him back. As expected, those comments created all sorts of buzz on social media in Edmonton.

They can’t score and they called up a guy who is top 5 in the AHL in goal scoring and playing really good hockey as of late....so naturally given all of that Hitch gives Currie top 6 minutes in his first game because it could be a shot in the arm....wait what? He only played 5:25 out of 65 minutes?.....nothing wrong at all people nothing to see here

I'm gonna have to go check this for myself, but I have an inkling that Edmonton falls near the bottom in the category of production from in-season call-ups.

...Bakersfield has 3 players under the age of 21.
- BINGO!

Lehigh Valley has 2 players under the age of 21 while the Flyers are regarded as having among the best prospect pools in the league.

The Charlotte Checkers have 4 players under the age of 21 as a team with among the deeper prospect pools in the league.

The Utica Comets have 4 players under the age of 21 as a team with among the deeper prospect pools in the leauge.

Your point?

- MaximumBone

Without looking I’m going to guess bottom 5 easily....with the exception of Jones I can’t think of any call ups that have had much success....not that the opportunity has really been given either....my main reason for not wanting any of them to be called up right now....Currie I could understand but such a waste....I guess we do need to continue to make room for guys like Lucic or Reider or Chiasson in the top 6 tho....thier current production is rather difficult to replace

Being told by multiple sources that #mnwild forward Charlie Coyle has been told that he has been traded but not to where yet.

Has been told not to get on his plane, his equipment has been taken off the truck
