Around the NHL, p.12: Stuff is once again starting to happen!!! ‎

In other news, Edmonton has returned Reinhart to the AHL.

Bad trade that keeps looking worse.

"He just needs to work on his skating"

Always was, and will be a horrible panic move by Chia, something I look forward to him doing more often as the pressure starts to build in Etown.

 

[Anglesmith]

I don't think taking a stab at Reinhart, in and of itself, was a bad move for them. I think the price they payed was completely careless.

Oh I 100% agree with that. Isles seen what Chia was offering for Dougie and swooped in for the kill.

It's really bad when you think about the move.
Calgary moved a similar package for a guy already playing at a high level in the NHL. A complete knee jerk reaction.

IT should be a major flag when a team is willing to move a 4th overall for a mid-1st a couple years down the line.

I agree, I think the Hall for Larsson deal can be described in much the same way.

Chiarelli just isn't a good trader in general

Two seconds for Connolly
Offered Spooner+2nd for Stewart
Boychuk for two seconds
Wheeler+Stuart for Peverley+Valabik
Seguin+Peverley+Button for Eriksson+Fraser+Morrow+Smith

 

[Volica]

He's going to look good simply because they have McDavid.

Young Versteeg to Chicago for Bochenski as well.

Colborne+1st+2nd for Kaberle was another beauty.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Colborne+1st+2nd for Kaberle was another beauty.

But but it got them the cup though.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Perhaps we will be able to add Yakupov to this list in short order as well..

You guys forgot one of the most important trades too. Larsson for Hall.

That one's a wait and see for me.

I know it's going to grind Oiler gears when he's putting up a 70+ season on a decent team and Larsson ends up not being able to hang out West here with the big dogs.

 

[Dertell]

Yeah that was pretty bad, but I can't help but see the trade as a way to show how teams overvalue defensemen and undervalue forward, esp. wingers.

To be fair, I don't think they win the cup without Peverly. He was a monster that year.

 

[Calculon]

Chiarelli does it again. Hopefully they sign Russell now too.

Wotherspoon+Bouma to the Blues for Yakupov

Go go Treliving

Excellent. The long nightmare is finally over. We wake to a glorious golden dawn.

That makes Edmonton's D better, regardless of your thoughts of Kris

 

[StreakingRed]

Awesome!!

qft..

I really don't like seeing Russell signing with the Oilers.

I will however enjoy mocking the idiots form this thread today http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=2133733&page=3

 

[Ynnek]

Another great Oilers trade this is fantastic.

 

[Calculon]

The Oilers are irrelevant; Russell doesn't change that.

What this does mean is the Russell isn't signing here. And that's the most important thing of all.
