Sigh, so much stupidity. Where do I start?
Atta boy Heater. Pretty obvious what's going on when all the Edmonton boys sign in Calgary, but when one Calgarian gets offered Edmonton... F that.
Are you retarded? Heatley's agent used the Oilers as a bargaining tool, nothing else. There was a very short list of teams Heatley would accept a trade to and Heatley's agent told both Murray and Tambellini that Edmonton is on that list. What he failed to tell them was that Edmonton's offer was just going to be used for leverage to get Heatley shipped off elsewhere.
He knows he'd still rather get boo'd at every homegame next year in Ottawa than play for the Oilers. 
Actually, he doesn't want to be in either city. He didn't choose Ottawa over Edmonton, he chose to sit on Edmonton's offer and wait to see if another one came along. He never said 'no' he said 'not right now.'
and who could blame him?
Nobody, but there sure can be a lot of blame laid on his agent.
Maybe just upset you couldn't dump Penner??
I happen to like Penner and think he'll be able to perform with a good coach.
Yeah i wish we could dump Penner was a waste of money that was. our team has no damn direction. i don't even think the GM know what's going on.
Team has no direction? Tambellini seems to have a pretty clear plan with the hiring of his new coaching staff and the filling of holes in the lineup. Wait until October 10 to judge the team's direction. The GM is Tambellini, give him time to put his stamp on the team. He has only had a few months to work his magic.
maybe we can trade Kevin Lowe too, because he is an idiot.
You can't trade staff, you can only fire them. Kevin Lowe is also sitting in a cushy position with a fancy title but actually does very little for the team. The owner rewarded Lowe's loyalty by giving him a title and a bunch of money and having him do very little work.
I do wish the Oilers management kept their mouths shut about it until it was official though.
Jason Gregor from the Team 1260 leaked the trade. He is not employed by the Oilers. Once he reported the trade, the Score and Sportsnet also reported it. Dan Tencer on 630 CHED (employed by the Oilers) was cautious with his words and not once did he say the trade was complete.
