if you get b.schenn and coburn you'll be set for many long playoff runs

I seriously doubt that. The Oilers are so damaged it will take more than those 2 guys to turn it around.

Your rumors are hilarious Eklund. I really hope this isn't your day job.

Oilers don't need to make any drastic changes....

Maybe it could be Moose Dupont

Philly cannot afford Coburn for Ebs and Edm won't eat salary on that.

Vinny and Coburn has 2 NTC/NMC involved. Phily will need to eat some Vinny salary, which is an issue for them.

If we could send Nikitin and Gazdic or something, then it starts to become more of a possibility to take on Vinny.

Overall, that still saves them 3 years of 4.5 million in cap hit.

Ebs +Nikitin for VL and BC...they still don't have the cap space (10.5M for 9M)

I thought Nikitin + Arco for VL+BC (5M for 9M)

According to capgeek you only have 500k in cap space. I am just going off that

i can see the Edmonton rumor mill heating up today. They do need to make a change just not sure what they can do. Maybe the coach?

Im not sure if kimmo was placed on ltir yet. I know we have players we can send down to the minors as well or waive to make something work .

He is in LTIR according to capgeek.

I am not familiar about who is and who is not playing, but again according to capgeek there are 15 forwards on the team, so you can send 2(?) down for maybe a million. There are 8 active Dmen. Sending 1 down does not save much, again about 1/2M.

Philly is in Cap hell.

All this revisionist history.

Lindros was a prime player in Philly for a span of about 7 years. If he had Joe Sakic helping him out I'm sure there would have been a parade in Philly. Not taking anything away from Forsberg. but he had a superstar partner.

Not to mention a guy named Roy in net, and Bourque and Blake on the back end.


Those Avalanche teams where sick. 5 Hall of Famers on one team at the same time.

Yes we are. We need to send out three contracts. My choices would be grossman, vlc, and umberger. I doubt we get anything for him and actually wouldnt mind him bought out as seasons end. Vlc I think will be moved this trade deadline or in the offseason. We might have to throw in 3rd or mid prospect to make it work . Grossman, everyone looks for his shot blocking and hitting stye. Every team needs one of them.

B. Schenn, coburn

Nikitin, our first


Philly adds in a 2nd if we can't resign coburn.

Coburn is signed through next season.

Giroux, Simmonds, Voracek and Couturier should all be traded

Most of the teams in the league are looking for D right now. Where you are correct is (insert any team here) don't want to include any young prospects

Giroux, Simmonds, Voracek and Couturier should all be traded

Stability on the blue line for sure. Schenn? The price will be high but yes, that kind of player.

Clearly I was sarcastic.
