what to do from here
what do the oilers do from here? With a medicre 16 19 4 in the teams first 39 games of the season. In the dustin penner offer sheat the oilers parted with their first, second and third selections in the 2008 draft…
Althouh we do have the Anaheim Ducks first and second selections in the ’08 draft as pat of the blockbuster trade that sent Pronger to the ducks.
As a true die hard oilers fan i think the whole rebuilding thing is the best thing for this franchise….A franchise that is allready loaded in young tallent… Sam Gagner , nillson, and coogliano up front have given the oilers promise, while smeed gilbert and green are comming into their own in the back end….
With Ryley nash, alex plant, robbie shrimp, patrick thornesen all on the outside looking in the future looks extreamly positive in oil city….
the trade deadline is in the near future ( feb 26th) to be exact… i think in the midst of the rebuilding we need to make room for the kids to start taking over the top roster spots…horcoff, reasoner, tarnstrom staos and dwane roloson will all bring atleast some attention from the other gm’s..if the right deal comes along possibly look into dumping torres, stool and pitkanen…pitkanen and stool both have rfa status at the end of the season… they have claimed that nhl draft 08 is exceptionally first round deep unlike the past few anywho…why not sell the farm off again this year and sign vetrens in the summer or atleast try ….when we start stockpiling our dynasty like we did in the 80’s you’ll see the top notch free agents fighting to play for a chance to win….go oilers
