Trade talks are heating up between the Kings and Oilers. Clifford + a pick or prospect for Gagner + EDM retaining $ is being discussed according to McKenzie.
Also. Marty St.Louis was named as Stamkos's replacement for the Sochi games meaning Claude Giroux will probably go ape shit against the Avs tonight.

Upside: + Clifford's gone + Oilers retain salary + Sets the precedent that no one is safe on the team Downside: - How good is Gagner, honestly? - Stoll 2.0 perhaps, but without the face-off ability or defensive awareness. - A bigger fish still needs to fry

Triplethreatmark, maybe I'll be able to see Gagner in person, because I just got my ticket to see the Habs in town on March 3! Going to be a nostalgic night for me because the first Stanley Cup final I can really remember is '93.
First trip to SoCal too. Thinking of maybe getting tickets for the Lakers or Clippers as well.

Avs down 2-0 to the Flyers right now; still almost a whole quarter left to go, but they're not playing very well tonight.

They have played poorly for most of this east coast swing.

Upside: + Clifford's gone + Oilers retain salary + Sets the precedent that no one is safe on the team Downside: - How good is Gagner, honestly? - Stoll 2.0 perhaps, but without the face-off ability or defensive awareness. - A bigger fish still needs to fry Gagner is the most debated Oiler in Oilersnation history. He is the poster child of everything that is wrong with the Edmonton Oilers. A small skilled injury proned player who can never seem to breakthrough from his best season. He is a player who was called into the NHL way too f***ing soon and has experienced 5 coaches in 7 seasons stunting his developmental growth. He is one of the worst defensive forwards on the Oilers who can't win a face off and seems to only get points from the power play. If it isn't Ralph Kruegers brilliant planned out PP (why the f*** was he fired on Skype nonetheless?) his point production goes way down. He is also by god the streakiest Oiler player in history. He will play like one of the best hockey players in the world for 20 games getting like 20 points (not talking about his 8 point performance night his games after) then he will play like one of the worst players in the game for the next 30 games getting like 6 points with 4 secondary assists, 1 main assist, and an empty net goal. If the LA Kings are thinking he's the answer to their scoring problems then they are so f***ing wrong. However Gagner has tons of potential and positives into him. +He's an extremely passionate player who does play with heart and is one of the few players to constantly stick up for his teammates and himself despite being small. He's also very tough who played through some bad injuries. +He is extremely well liked by teammates and management and was a dark horse favorite to be naked captain this season. +He is young if he filed for arbitration this last off season, he would of been the youngest UFA ever. He has tons of skill and potential and is great on the shootout. +Like I said when he's on the good side of his streamlines he's really f***ing good. 8 points one night? 11 points in 3 straight periods? He nearly led the Oilers as a rookie in a playoff spot in 07-08 in an amazing second half of the season. Also all of the star oiler players were injured. +He can play all forward positions. He can play left wing and right wing. I still don't know why they won't move him into the wing permanently. He's good on the right wing since he can't play defense and some of his best work came from the right wing. Like nearly getting Edmonton into the playoffs as a rookie. +He will probably play great for another team like other past Oilers like Penner, Cogliano, Stoll, Greene, Brodziak, Lupul, Fraser, Souray, Visnovsky, Cole, Fistric, etc. Guaranteed if he plays for a team with a good coach, the first thing the coach is going to say about Gagner is he developed a lot of bad habits and play will improve the season after. Also if all they can get from Gagner is Clifford then keep Gagner. Hemsky for Clifford would be way more fair. Plus f*** another fourth line forward Mac T isn't going to solve anything.

Kris Letang diagnosed with a stroke

Terrible news about Letang. Strokes are awful, especially when it happens to someone that young. I hope the "he'll be back in six weeks" report is accurate and not just overly optimistic.

Jon Merrill scores his first ever NHL goal tonight with the game winner in OT against the Oilers.

In a battle of the top 2 in the Metro, the Rangers beat the Penguins in a Shootout. 1st OT loss for the Pens at home. Also, win #298 for Lundqvist.

Avs have had 5 minor penalties in the 3rd quarter, and because of it they've let the Islanders back in it with a score of 3-2 Avs. It was 3-0.

Phew! Avs are going to end up winning 4-2 barring a miracle with less than a minute to go.

According to NHL Rivals, the Rangers are apparently vastly inferior to the greatness that is the Penguins. Ugh.

Tonight it is Canada versus Finland. Finland goes into the match as massive underdogs, because we don't have either one of Koivu's, no Filppula and Barkov, who got injured on Friday.
