I feel sorry for you guys. Its not you saying all this stuff, but after a few beers its hard to not clump you in with Richard.

Plus when Richard hides, you guys unfortunately have to answer.oh well at least he doesn't flip flop between ideas.

Bit late to only be on a few beers isn't it?

Haha, its only a Thursday and us in PEI dont make the money you guys do. In fact we wouldnt make any if it wasnt for stealing it from your healthcare, police, education and transport

And hey, according to Ek you're getting Penner back! So you got that going for you, which is nice.

Wish that I could.
What if they paid part of his salary for this year as part of the deal, thereby giving you more cap space?

- kingcong39

what if we call it square this year, but you pay half next year??


for realz though, is that even allowed under cba rules?

Hey Ritchie Rich, might be a bit premature to declare Edmonton the automatic winner of the Perron/Paajarvi trade, don't you think?

I think it's a good move for both teams, especially the immediate future of the Oilers, but long term I think St. Louis could eventually get the better end of this deal. No?

yep.

at present I think we won as we got the best player in the deal. but long term it's certainly a gamble. kind of a win/win really. they needed the space and also didnt take a big hit to a contending team.

and prv was starting to come around.
imo, a neccassary move though. and putting health aside, im not sure we'll ever lose the deal in any egregiously lopsided manner.

perron isn't the exact type we were looking for, but I think we should be generally happy with the deal.

I dont mind penner on the third line IF its on a 1 year deal. Maybe Eakins will whip him into shape.. I still feel that we need to address the D now tho

extremely hesitant to reacquire him.
his term and dollars would be extremely important.

think id throw him in the top 6 and put perron on our 3rd.
does penner even have the will and effort level to be an effective checker/scorer?

Gordon fills a few needs and im glad we got him. but regardless of the freed up space, we did overpay by 500k at least. maybe closer to a mil

Overpayment in free agency?? The hell you say.

Next you'll be telling me hot chicks like guys with money.

We were looking for a "yes he is", and not a "well we hope he'll be".

I like MPS but I think even when his game fills out he'll be a fringe top 6 guy.

You all realize that EK reported this right!
Not going to happen MacT wants compete level to go up not just have a guy around because he's such a well-liked guy in and out if the dressing room.

Ugh to bringing Penner back. Some Oilers fans are too fond of re-treads.
