Oilers fans need to accept that sometimes you need to lose a trade a little to get the piece(s) that your team needs.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Totally agree.

That only works for him though - no other player experiences the same thing
- LeftCoaster

Exactly your learning. No you dolt I was just commenting he's been player better lately

Meszaros sucks, is Philly still right up against the cap? If we're taking that camp dump for this year, I want them to add in a pick/prospect on top of Schenn. Having 8+ million tied up in Mez/Booth this year would make me sick. But I wouldn't be against a Schenn-Edler deal.

Mez is a UFA next year, that would give them some space as they're up against the cap and Mez could be a depth dman for us. If he doesn't play big minutes he's not that bad.

A guy in there yesterday said Kessel + JVR would land Tavares and instantly make the Isles a much better team. I gave up trying to reason with him after about 3 pages.

Its fair to say every fanbase overvakues their players a bit but Toronto fans are in a different class without question

I know but it's my duty to give you a hard time

And those lowly Kings, Hawks, Blues, Ducks, Sharks, etc. Lucky us.



I'd like the great challenge of playing the Sabres, Canes, Panthers, Devils, Isles, etc .

Devils have an all star goali that would take a first round pick, top 6 forward and top prospect to require

Yeah, I wouldn't hate that trade, but getting back a pick/prospect would make me feel better about it.

One of your sidekicks was just here. Apparently Gardiner would currently be our #1 d man

Guy has trouble staying in Toronto's rather weak top 6 but would be our #1 . Do leaf fans have a different setting on their TVs then everybody else or something

Pfft, he didn't even make the Olympic team. Luongo>Schneider. Lack will be Sweden's starter according to my dear friend Scooby's sources so that means Lack>Lu>Schneider.

I'd like to know how somebody with an IQ exceeding 3 could think Gardiner would currently be Vancouver #1 d man.
And btw when has JVR been an All Star?

And to answer you question. Kessel and JVR make 12.25 mill next season

Tavaras makes 5.5 mil. Add Vanek at around 7 mill.

I thought he was the year before. But he's an all star calibre player.

Look at the guys name that should give you a clue.

Burkie Dogs come with extra rat turds, it's a well known fact that over consumption of rat turds retards mental growth.

Same cap hit for both and vanek hasn't done much since going to the island.

Hall, Eberle, RNH, Yakupov, Gagner, Schultz > Crosby, Ovechkin, Stamkos, Perry, Tavares, Weber.
