Confirmed with Link: [EDM/FLA] Steve Pinizzotto & Jack Combs For Derek Nesbitt & Ryan Martindale

[OnTheBrink]

Hoping for bigger but guessing farm deal.

 

[Captain Catatomic]

The only thing that will break on Whitney is a foot.

lmfao

but in all seriousness, the Oilers have given up Dubnyk and Smid for Horak, the goalie kid whats his name- Broissomething, and the UFC champ.. what's his name.. Hendricks, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave up something substantial to get this guy. The bar seems to have been set at what fans feel are crappy returns to go through our new system for our over-valued "vets". With the fans calling for Lowe's head, I'm sure they will be dumping guys they can blame it on, and not getting "fair value" in return.

Edit: Sorry I typoed Horvat but it was Horak, close enough, my bad. it's late beddy time. Thx Soli.

-If- this happens I imagine this is just a minor league deal. If it was bigger I think some media guy either in Edmonton or out would have gotten a sniff of it by the time Whitney is told and tweets about it.

No media guy in Edmonton even mentioned the Dubnyk or Scrivens deals until they were announced and made final in the morning. I'm guessing those deals were completed the night before but never got leaked.

Edit: Also speaks volumes that none of the media are denying the trade or giving us an idea what we would have given up pick/prospect.

 

[Rawg]

I dont think anyone has called many oiler trade rumours correctly at all, Its always out of left field

 

[Tarus]

Yakupov for Pinizzotto straight up

The Oilers probably feel they need more toughness in the "skates to the bench faster after hitting his head on the boards" department.

Minor league trade.. Oilers/Panthers. Hearing #OKC acquires Pinizzotto and Jack Combs from San Antonio for Nesbitt and one other asset.

Well that's disappointing

 

[McspOiler]

MacTavish going for a record number of trades in a season without actually accomplishing anything in any of them.

I dont know why but this made me laugh so hard i cried... then i really cried.

 

[MetaOil1993]

Well that's disappointing

Yep, I actually got my hopes up it was something bigger

 

[Shizuka]

Oh well, too much to hope for bigger things at this point. Nesbitt definitely has the highest points though, so I am guessing they moved him on to make room for someone else to get the time, like Pitlick (developing players as opposed to 'coaching to win' on the farm).

 

[Bryanbryoil]

So we're losing one of the guys that can actually put the puck in the net in OKC? Alrighty then.....

 

[Raab]

O well that sucks. Florida has a lot of assets we could use on the big team.

Well that's disappointing

only because it kills us from running around with our heads cut off making it bigger then it was

 

[nexttothemoon]

MacT's new motto...

"A trade a day keeps the pitchforks at bay."

 

[Cold Dome Beers]

Well it only makes sense that the other asset is Hemsky

 

[rboomercat90]

It wouldn't be blazing any new territory for Ryan Whitney.

No it wouldn't and in his mind he has a bit of an axe to grind with the Oilers anyway. Probably saw what's been going on here this week and thought he'd have some fun with it.

 

[VayaConDios]

i hope the other asset is Gagner

 

[Reilly13]

He's worth 20 k in hut so he must be good

 

[Tom Brady]

i hope the other asset is Gagner

I would trade Gagner for a 7th rounder, the guy is completely useless, below average in every aspect of the game.

 

[oilers_guy_eddie]

 

[I am the Liquor]

Well that's disappointing

You must be new here.

 

[Wheathead]

Has losing made this fanbase dumb?

"Maybe it's one of their big young centers in Barkov or Bjugstad?"

"Hopefully Gagner is going the other way"?

C'mon HFOil. You're better than that. This is a minor league deal with minor league assets. Florida won't be giving us Barkov, Bjugstad, Matthias, or Kulikov. Minor league deals happen all the time. They don't hurt an organization. They're not usually a sign of someone else, nor to deals with minor league players "get bigger." It's a deal for OKC, and that's all it is.

It isn't going to destroy the franchise, nor does it mean that the organization is inept or blind to the issues on the big club.

Some of you expect way too much.

No they're not

 

[McDoused]

Woah huge blockbuster move while I was sleeping. Just hand us the cup now.

To be honest it's kind of sad when I don't know which team is giving up which players... I have no idea who is who and what team they play for.

 

[CornKicker]

we have to take the positives out of this, who cares who we got, at least macT is actually talking to other GM's, something the previous regime didnt do at all.
