Doesn't sound like market on Vrbata is all that high right now. He'll be sidelined, I'd guess, until Boedker goes and Eriksson stays/goes

Edma management overvalued their players. I'm hoping benning doesn't do that with our vets.

I don't think he will - if anything people argue that he undervalues a bit to get a deal done. All the crying over the later pick to Montreal, etc.

There must be a big bunch of pieces moving and now that Cracknell is gone things will move.

I see him as a salary and positional dump so even a 5th....

We lost Cracknel
- boonerbuck

Queue the freak out.

Drouin for hammer, 50 percent retained, McCann and a second.



















- Pres.cup

Hammer, Hansen and Vey for Droulin and Kouskouk.

Also benning is all about no nonsense and character. I think it's pretty reasonable to quest Droulins character with how he is acting

I think there is going to be a last minute flurry with a lot of players. Sounds like Russell and Hamhius are holding up the D market and Boedker and Eriksson holding up the forwards.

What does cracknell have to do with anything?

We will see what kind of GM he is today anway. It's his job to properly access the market.

Queue the freak out.
- Marwood

He is solid bottom 6 player. He might help the Oilers leap frog the Canucks in the standings

If we take Carle they take Sbisa

true that. Defining moment.....I think he hits it out of the park but we wont get it for 2 years.

I think something like this works as well.

Hi guys, what's up?

Mike Commadore has been killing it on twitter for the past couple of days #packyoursh!t

If we take Carle they take Sbisa
- Retinalz

Why do we wanna get rid of Sbisa? He's the only physical D man we have.

If we take Carle they take Sbisa
- Retinalz

Not Sbisa, just read he has Austrian roots.

Hi guys, what's up?
- AustrianCanuck

where's grabner?

If Stamkos hits the free agent market r we going after him?
If yes what dominoes need to fall n who is gone or bought out?

true that. Defining moment.....I think he hits it out of the park but we wont get it for 2 years.
- TJTD

Perhaps. But if we end up with say a 2nd and a mid teeer prospect for Hamhuis I think it's fair to say he out waited the market and got burned

Half salary retained would be needed and still might not be enough cap wise

I disagree on the defining moment part. Unless he absolutely fleeces another team. He is just trying to move out a couple of vets for futures. I don't think today makes or breaks this team going forward. It might help, but its not do or die.
