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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
With Edmonton’s shootout win in Chicago tonight they extend their winning streak to 3 games and put a little bit of breathing room between themselves and 9th place in the western conference. The Oilers have picked up points in 7 straight games and have only lost in regulation once in their last 10 games. Dwayne [...]
I could write about how the Oilers have just lost for the fourth time in five games (3 times against teams below them in the standings) but that would be really depressing so lets see if I can put some positive spin on this. The Oilers have recorded points in 4 straight games. Patrick O’Sullivan [...]
That would be the headlines on the Edmonton Oilers website if I were in charge. With the way Roli is playing there is no reason to keep Deslaurier on the bench and continue giving Garon starts with his current condition. Matheiu Garon suffers from an ailment that causes him to allow far more goals than [...]
Robbie Schremp is returned to the AHL: Robbie Schremp who was called up to replace an injured Robert Nilsson had an impressive 4 game stint with the Oilers picking up 3 assists in 4 games and maybe more importantly finishing with a +2 rating over that span. MacT was impressed with Schremp’s development and improved [...]
Ales Hemsky scored in the shootout and rookie Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers stopped 3 shots in the shootout to give the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers and finish their seasons longest road trip with 4 wins and 3 loses. Fernando Pisani and Erik Cole scored in regulation for the Oilers and Deslauriers [...]
