Edmonton Oilers
HockeyAnalysis.com (Free subscription) | 09/21/2008
It wasn’t too long ago when Kevin Lowe lamented about the poor financial situations the Oilers were in and as a result being unable to remain competitive because their best players annually headed for greener pastures. After the CBA, all of a sudden the Oilers were big-time players, landing Sheldon Souray for $5.4m/year, Dustin Penner [...]

Players Headed South
Kukla's Korner (Free subscription) | 08/28/2008
from David Staples at the Cult of Hockey, Lowe’s sweet tooth is for players who are heading into the non-peak years of their careers. In recent times, Lowe has ardently pursued such players as Laraque, Michael Nylander, Ryan Malone, Marian Hossa and Sheldon Souray. These players have two things in common: 1. They were all, once, outstanding contributors in the NHL. 2. They are all either on the wrong...

Pure Fantasy
Kukla's Korner (Free subscription) | 08/20/2008
from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal, These are the dog days if you’re looking for a hockey fix, but the fan message boards are full of crazy Ales Hemsky trade rumours to the Montreal Canadiens. That’s like fantasizing that you might get a date with Halle Berry. Not a chance. “Hemmer’s a guy you build your team around,” said Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Kevin Prendergast, who laughed...

Oilers Need The Right Deal
Kukla's Korner (Free subscription) | 07/01/2008
from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun, To me, hitting the home run for Katz would be finding a first-rate scoring star the likes of, oh, say Rick Nash to complement Ales Hemsky as the gifted playmaker heads into the prime-time years of his career. I’m not saying that you could do that deal, specifically. But the Oilers have a pretty good stockpile of assets that they could put on the table to get a...

NHL Draft Profiles of Burlon and Czarnik
The Blog That Yost Built (Free subscription) | 06/09/2008
The NHL's official draft site is slowly but surely releasing profiles of the players that will be available in this month's NHL Draft. They've added profiles and scouting reports for Brandon Burlon and Robbie Czarnik . Highlights: -Czarnik patterns his game after Ales Hemsky and his nickname is "Bob Z" which I think is pretty funny. -Czarnik's best friend is his future Michigan teammate, David Wohlberg....

Sizing Up the Draft
BfloBlog.com (Free subscription) | 05/09/2008
The Sabres have two draft picks in the first round this year, the 13th and the 26th. So I figured I would rip off JP (like it's never been done before) and look at who has gone in those spots recently. The last fifteen picks in the thirteen-spot: 2007 - Lars Eller 2006 - Jiri Tlusty 2005 - [...]

Oilers Sign Gilbert Gilbert
The Battle of Alberta (Free subscription) | 04/11/2008
"The Edmonton Oilers have signed defenceman Tom Gilbert to a six-year, $24-million US contract. The deal puts him in elite company. In 2006, Ales Hemsky signed a contract that will take him through to the 2011-12 campaign, the club's longest contract since Wayne Gretzky was an Oiler." --Joanne Ireland, Edmonton Journal I'm late to the party on this one, but what an interesting signing. Quite the pay...
