Call me crazy, but I "smell it". I've got that feeling in my belly, nothing more, nothing less. No inside info; no leaks. The Edmonton Oilers are preparing to venture out on their annual UFA shopping excursion on July 1st, and their list is short, albeit expensive – a pure goal-scoring sniper. For the record, I firmly believe the Oilers' brass is finally going to deliver the goods this year.
Three Swedes selected in the top 10, and the Edmonton Oilers took one of them. Heck, North Americans haven’t seen this much Swede since IKEA set up shop!
Two sleeps ‘til the bell rings and gates open on the NHL’s 2009 Free Agency. By the time the four millionth version of O‘Canada has been sung on July 1st, Canada Day, Edmonton Oilers GM Steve Tambellini will either be singing the praises of the team’s newest offensive weapon, or singing the blues, once again, for failing to land a big UFA fish to bolster his club’s anaemic offence.
UPDATE: Dany Heatley has not yet agreed to waive his no-trade clause. Smid, Penner and Cogliano for malcontent goal scorer, Dany Heatley. A ransom for a player who, let's be frank, has left a negative mark on two franchises - and possibly three, even if he doesn't end up wearing the copper and blue silks!
