Official NHL Trade Deadline Day Thread
« on: March 04, 2009, 08:50:11 am »
Alright, here it is. Anyone got any thoughts on possible big trades?

I think its been really overhyped and the teams that are in the chase for the cup already have solid teams and dont need to jeopardize their future prospects. That being said, Im hoping Vancouver goes out and picks up a good scoring D or another offencive presence. We've got a lot of cap room, but im also hoping that we can resign the Sedin sisters.

Seriously tho, I hope they trade MacT away for a bag of dog doo.
Bag of dog doo would probably help the oil more than he does.

I love how the media goes cross-eyed over this.  There haven't been any blockbusters for years, but they hype it like there will be.  That's not to say there haven't been good moves.  I hope this year is quiet, just for the media.  :)

I agree. The media loves this time of year, gives them something to talk about.

However... moves are gonna happen...

They're doing way more than I expected from Calgary on trade deadline day.  Should make for an interesting playoff run, if nothing else.

I stand corrected on my earlier note.  That's a big move.  I figured Lombardi was trade bait... he's fast but can't (consistently) hit the net.  Sad to lose Prust, but Jokinen is quite the pickup.

Gotta hurt being Eric Cole and being excited to be in Edmonton, and then get shipped back to hockey nowhereville while Penner gets to lolligag around every game for more money.

Hope they work some magic in the off season tradewise.

To me it sounded like Cole wanted to stay here past this season. He looked devastated that he was traded and actually said he was relieved when they all went for lunch after the deadline (before he was traded). I wish he would have been extended since he was the perfect role model for all of our young guys. He never takes a shift off, he never gives up on a play, he skates and hits hard, he's willing to go into the tough areas of the ice and is also willing to stick up for his teammates. I have noticed more recently that his work ethic was rubbing off on Gagner, in that Gagner lately has been going balls-to-the-wall in the offensive zone and pursuing the puck like Jer chasing a twinkie.

Yeah, when he initially came to Edmonton I thought "yes, perfect -- that's exactly the kind of player we need". The Oilers have 2 really big problems preventing them from looking like an NHL team instead of an Atom Tier 4 team:

1) Passing. So basic, but it's so rare for us to do it right. Either they're lazy "please intercept me" softies, or they're about 6 feet off their mark. Brutal to see pros pass like that.

2) Going to the net. This is why I loved Cole so much. All of the Oilers are scared to crash the net and pick up rebounds. This was a gaping hole left by Smyth that Dustin "Pylon" Penner sure hasn't filled. When Hemsky finally started shooting earlier this season, there was no one remotely near the front of the net to bang in a rebound. It's not a size thing, it's a timing and desire. If you've got a guy like Horcoff who is only ever going to shoot from the halfboards, why the hell isn't there someone lurking either behind the net a la Gretzky, or someone off the other side of the net waiting to move in once the shot's made? It's ludicrous and I can't believe it's still happening.

Guess we'll see in the long run how the trade plays out, but I can't really see how the Oilers gained anything losing Cole and picking up a couple of so-sos.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're going to be stuck with him until that contract is up. What did they sign him for? 3yrs?

Send him down to the AHL imo.
