Here, I wrote you something. I've named it "The Nickelback Song"

The Nickelback Song by Richard Cloutier

It's Friday night and I'm so damn pissed,
When you open your mouth I insert a fist,
Rockin' and rollin' in my rock and roll band,
Mud bogs, and girlies, and dozens of grams

Crank up the volume
Rip off the knob
Find me a cliché
I'll write you a song

I'm a punch to your gullet
Your mom with a mullet
I know what I am doin'
Bunk beds are for screwin'
Alcohol, midgets and applesauce
Yankees and parties and punchin' the boss
Lazy and bloated, pointless and lame
You know all my songs sound exactly the same

Ring through your nipple, tats on your ass
No one will ever suggest that you have any class
My liver is finished, my soul is diseased
I'll drink all your milkshake and get a brain freeze

Crank up the volume
Rip off the knob
My dad is a jerk
Because he found me a job

I'm a punch to your gullet
Your mom with a mullet
I know what I am doin'
Bunk beds are for screwin'
Alcohol, midgets and applesauce
Yankees and parties and punchin' the boss
Lazy and bloated, pointless and lame
You know all my songs sound exactly the same

Clouts you are a god damn genius. You see what happens when you keep your blood sugar in check, you are freaking hilarious.

I am tuning my guitar to drop D and gonna make up a simple riff to these lyrics right now.

Well doesnt have to be that much of edmontons part giving up on players but along the lines of that, you get a defender thats developed to score goals and move the puck, you get another canadian boy iunno man helps both teams because im pretty sure columbus is willing to part with anything on their team besides their own 1st rounder since they would rather draft both gal and yako

Edmonton needs to be stronger in their defensive zone coverage, not weaker. LA traded JJ for a reason, and it's highly possible Edmonton by far gives up the best player in that deal. No.

Why shouldn't they give up a 2012 2nd overall and a 2013 1st overall for a 2012 1st overall? Because Yakupov is not likely much better than the 2013 1st overall, let alone the 2013 and then 2012 2nd overall.
- Morris

They get our 1st next year too. Either way you gotta pay the price if you want 1st overall

Yeah, I wonder about that. Considering that I've heard that either Dumba or Reinhart could become the best D-man of the draft. If they're trading down, do they entertain a bigger proposal to move WAY down?
- Morris

Have to be a pretty big proposal..from a team lacking in scoring...with some high end dmen...

I'm still fiddling with the lyrics. Nickelback insists on perfection in their songs.

Yeah, but assuming the Oilers are looking to trade down, this is no longer a situation of them seeking and us supplying, and now a matter of mutual benefit with a slight slant toward us, so I wouldn't anticipate a huge return.

Honestly, I expect us to be at the lower half of the bottom next year, and trading the #1 this year and the #7 or so next year for the #2 this year and (at best) the #2, (at worst) the #6 next year seems like a reasonable proposal.

Even the way our defense is now, it all depends on how good Dubnyk performs. I think we need a number one goalie more than anything if he proves not to be one but I have some faith in him

well we have the weekend to perfect it. plus, i play ball with their original drummer here in lethbridge, he was with them before they left hanna for vancouver and chose to come back here to be closer to his son. I wonder if he regrets choosing to be a good father over being a millionaire??? Anyways ill have him do the drums and im sure we can have this track recorded and on the radio by next week

Thats true.. what if they did this

Ryan Johansen, Jack Johnson, and Derek Brassard for Yakpov, Horcoff, and MPS

We could just as easily be worse than columbus next year and not get anymore out of them. In that case a 2nd rounder isnt worth moving down for

would of been cool if you guys picked ryan ellis over MPS at the 2009 draft

Marc Methot and this years 2nd

They get that, they take it and run. Draft Murray and Henrik Samuelsson/Tim Bozon/Slater Koekkoek/Ludvig Bystrom.

Seems kinda 'yeah' right now, but they are still very young. MPS could still put it all together and they look like geniuses.

is this sarcastic?

canadian players on team canada juniours > swedes, pretty sure ellis had better stats than him and hes a forward just cause hes small doesnt mean hes not good.

- Ihatebrianburke

Yeah, that's certainly a price you pay if you make it known that you're looking to trade down.

And what 2nd rounder are you referring to?

that hardly proves anything

- mochoson

Yeah. If the Oilers are actively looking to move down, I would not expect a better deal than that.

that hardly proves anything

chill your team canada deal with it

The one we would get from columbus to move down...
