Also the Flyers are talking to Edmonton about Eberle who I like alot but I'm horrified at what we'll give up in return. Lots of players due to Eberle's cap space. But there is no defenseman or goalie from Philadelphia Edmonton needs except maybe Streit but he's old and is going to retire and diminish soon on a rebuild team. Maybe straight up for Girioux because I doubt he's going to be that bad for the rest of his careet but at least he has a lengthy contract but an expensive one. Plus he can actually play center. Simmonds and Hartnell and Courtier could add some size and grit Edmonton desperately needs and the contracts are decent. I rather they trade Yakupov because Hall and Eberle have tons of chemistry ever since their World Junior Days and for the longest time Eberle played with the most amount of heart on the team outside of Hall or Gagner. Last season he played most of the season with a hairline fracture on his hand which is extremely difficult to do in hockey and kept at as a secret for the long time. It's obvious though Eakin's lost Eberle the room with Eberle and a half assed Eberle still has 13 points in 17 games. Plus I would be pissed the one time I bought a hockey jersey player with a players name on it (outside of my Domi Toronto Maple Leafs jersey I bought for a discount price when he retired) leaves the team. I feel more ripped off then the people who bought Pronger Oiler Jersey's.

Smid has been traded to the Flames. I did not see this one coming. He was the best defensive defenseman on the team for three years. This has to be a start of a massive firesale in Edmonton or clearing cap space for a major move. I hope this is leading to Girioux because 9 years of him would be sweet.

Well this is surreal. Almost seven years ago Bryz was making fun of Edmonton in November when asked about Prongers return to Edmonton. The ironic thing is Smid was involved of that Pronger trade. If it's only a one year deal this deal is extremely risky if he doesn't sign and delayed the rebuild longer since Smid was well been one of the top 3 defense man in Edmonton the past three years. Anyways Bryz it's November in Edmonton and it isn't -32, I was just outside having a smoke and it's a beautiful November night at -3. Welcome to Edmonton. Even if you can't save the season, I'll make sure to watch your interviews.
Here is the video and I'm not mad. I'm Heffy.

Also I'm happy Edmonton got Laurent Brossoit!!! What I've seen of him for the Oil Kings the past few times I went to their game, he's hell of a goaltender.

Brian Lawton @brianlawton9 1m The night is getting crazier by the minute...... Hemske on the move to philly for 2 players including a forward and a D? Names start with S
Simmonds and Schenn?
I just realized Nick Schultz should of been traded. They have the same cap space deal.

But I didn't think Hemske would be worth two guys. www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/edmonton-oilers-working-on-trade-for-philadelphia-flyers-wayne-simmonds/Homer fielding any offers except those involving Giroux or Mason. Eberle may also get dealt.

The Sabres need heart transplants. NOW. The team should walk back from Anaheim to Buffalo.
I mean, their offense goes braindead against the Kings and they showed absolutely nothing against Anaheim.
Getzlaf had a hat trick IN THE FIRST PERIOD!
2 games against the Ducks- 12 goals.
Fire everyone, trade everyone, blow up this damn disgrace of a team.
And the worst part? THIS ISN'T EVEN THAT DEEP OF AN NHL DRAFT
The one year we really suck happens to be one of the weakest NHL Drafts

I feel bad for Oilers fans everywhere. This team is out of control. Yup Craig MacTavish said he's not doing anymore trades which I call bullshit because he could of still signed Bryz if Smid was around. Plus Edmontons reputation is even worse now that Smid the second longest active player on that team who has been in the top 10 in most blocked shots the past three seasons took a hometown discount and no no trade clause contract got dumped here. For f*** sakes he was one of the few guys to marry an Edmonton girl and buy a house here. If the oilers aren't going to make a bold move then this would be the most pointless salary dump of all time. But I consider this season lost even if Edmonton managed to land Weber and Crosby and there are bears on elk island park 50KM in Edmonfon and Bryz will be funny comic relief in a depressing long season. I'm just hoping Edmonton becomes so bad this season that this will finally be the season Lowe gets fired and the old boys club is dismantled completely. Edmonton might be the only organization that had the same two assistant coaches with four different coaches. The six ring circus is amazingly bad. I consider the most shocking thing isn't of Flames and Oilers making a deal but Burke and Lowe made a deal

So much wasted potential. Also, that MacT logic is epic. The team lacks real defensive depth. Trades best defensive D-man to biggest rival;then proceeds to sign an extremely questionable goalie. Great job, bud.

I'm also reading the disaster artist and this oilers season is like The Room. It's depressingly bad where you have no idea what's going on exactly and you see the horrible flaws in the disaster but it's f***ing hilarious. But too be fair I just completed the 5 steps of grief like most Oilers fans already have
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

Sources say that Pekka Rinne won't be available to play at the Sochi Olympics. A rather big blow for Nashville Predators.

Now the question becomes, "Who will be the back up?" Lehtonen? Niemi? The popular one seems to be the same solution that Chicago had last year, with Rask and Niemi splitting time. There is also the possibility of having Lehtonen as the third goalie. Having it like that would eliminate the harm of losing Rinne almost completely.
