At least the Oilers are trying to build through the draft and development. The Rangers write a cheque and pray it works, they are a bunch of individuals, not a team. That's the part they always never seem to figure out. It will get tougher for them without any buyout amnesties left.

i wish the flyers had the past 10 oiler drafts

Yep, rest of the league as well. Still need to make it work though.

how about the one's you haven't

Luckily there aren't many to worry About this year. So far

yes indeed, the obvious answer for "why do the oilers suck" question

Look at the oils record against the west ...a conference which they are the in the bottom of.... Now look at their record against the east ...they just might be a playoff team if they could play there. The oil are built like an eastern team ...which is why they have issues in the west. Id love to swap the oil with Habs in their respective conference ...I'd be willing to bet the oil make it in the east and the Habs miss in the west

Of course, it's really only the brass' fault they built the team like an Eastern team.

But I don't even think getting pushed around is going to be that much a problem in the go ahead.

Not having a #1 dman will get you killed in any conference.

i'm with you, the flyers don't have a #1, 2 or 3

The Rangers have always preferred players that have been developed by other teams. Hey hang on.....that applies to all of their professional sports teams.

Hindsight's pretty special, too.

Yep, that sucks you can still make a deal though.

man, it doesn't take much hindsight to hit paydirt with those picks

Just report the rumour. Please don't pretend to know anything about the players involved or have any insight that we don't have.

i'm sure his current value will net the flyers all 3

The Schenn bros for Pietrangelo/Shattenkirk and Bouwmeester?

You have to give something to get something, the price would be very steep. I'm sure Benning has chatted with PHI coming from BOS and being familiar with your team. Still tough to make a deal though.

yes, we'll even throw in vinny

did you miss the value of dmen memo?

We'll beat that.

Tanev, Edler, 1st, Virtanen, Horvat and Bonino.

I'm sure the other 29 teams feel the same way.
