Any chance that Upshall is the vet losing a job to a young player?
Edit: I know it sounded like Todd was talking more about one of our vets, but unless someone else shakes out...
Perfect, we can give him a stall next to Brodziak!Scottie was on chiclets this last episode. He was talking about his injury and how he wants to come back and ideally play next year with the oilers. Sounds like an amazing guy, i'm rooting for him!

I'm not going to derail this thread, nor should you... but this is an uncalled for comment. I don't think our team has sufficient leadership. I don't think you can stand, hand on heart, and say that either. Upshall has been a solid leader and may have a year or two left in him if he can recover. I'd welcome that in a 4th line role. You are also entitled to your opinion, just have a little discretion (i.e. don't be a jerk about it). You and I have had plenty of good debates and I've enjoyed them. Don't ruin it.
The one saving grace with him is he's pretty committed to his body and workout regiment.We always seem to get players just as they are transitioning into being almost useless. It's like they come here to fully die. Hopefully this isn't another one of those if indeed we give him another shot next year.

I don't buy it.We could use his leadership in whatever capacity possible.
I always thought that was the absolute worst team Jagr couldve picked. I dont know why I just had the vibe it would be horrible. If Jagr picks any other team maybe he finishes the year or is even still playingWe'd have been better off getting jagr after Calgary than a lot of these flame outs.
