I realize that Sheldon Souray’s trade value is at an all time low right now with all of the injuries and the high salary cap hit, and I also know of Steve Tambellini’s track record of being on the losing side of trades but I just can’t help but feel like the Oilers will be [...]

I honestly didn’t believe the Oilers would sign Mike Comrie as he really doesn’t fill either of the holes they currently have at the forward position.  The Oilers are in desperate need of a 1st line LW and a 3rd line physical center who can win face offs and kill penalties. While signing Comrie won’t [...]

The Edmonton Oilers management has a real dilemma on their hands in the next couple of weeks, who will make the NHL roster and who will not.  There are quite a few bubble guys and with the new coaching staff there may be a few surprises for some people at the start of the season.  [...]

With all the talk this summer of the Edmonton Oilers trying to trade for Danny Heatley to finally add that superstar to the team I think a lot of people have forgotten that the Oilers do have a budding superstar already with Ales Hemsky.  Hemsky has been nothing but spectacular in his time with the [...]

Should the Edmonton Oilers even be interested in Danny Heatley? They are offering 3 players in Cogliano, Smid, and Penner who could potentially have breakout seasons under the new coaching staff in Edmonton and will be taking on a contract which will handcuff the team for years to come with the cap expected to go [...]

The Edmonton Oilers may have run out of patience with Danny Heatley and may be going after Maxim Afinogenov or Alex Tanguay instead. UPDATE:  I’m also hearing that the Oilers maybe negotiating trades for Kessel or Gagne.

Dany Heatley is probably the perfect candidate to play with Ales Hemsky and its just too good of an opportunity for the Oilers to let pass by.  The Oilers are in desperate need of some top end scoring and have an abundance of skilled puck moving defensmen which just happens to be what the Ottawa [...]

So what went wrong this season with the Edmonton Oilers that seen them out of the playoffs for the 3rd consecutive season?  Were they too small? Not physical enough? Not enough grit? Not hard to play against? No, those are the bullshit excuses the media experts throw around but there is nothing to back that [...]

Stop talking about trading Hemsky… its ridiculous. Jim Matheson must be pretty bored to be sitting around thinking up situations in which the Edmonton Oilers would trade away their best offensive player at a time when they need more offense.  I mean come on man Hemsky has the best contract on the team and is [...]

Since the Edmonton Oilers have been eliminated from the playoffs every so called hockey expert I’ve heard has said that the Oilers have too many small forwards and need to add some size up front. Well most of those guys haven’t watched every game this season like I have so they don’t realize that on [...]
