From the last thread:

Yeah this guy?

He should have bought us a bouquet of roses and blown smoke up our *****!

I don't think MacT is that dumb.

I'd find a new team. I've suffered through too much to keep cheering if MacT ****s this up

And the maximum games dubnyk has ever started was 45. Not that big a difference.

I get that the 7th overall is great and whoever we grab there can be a great player but all it is, is potential. At some point our team has to stop wandering in the playoff wilderness and start making a hard push. Have solid goaltending will go a long ways towards making us a contender.

TheCityOfChamps is a complete moron and pretends to have sources. How he has over 300 followers is beyond me.

The next time one of his 'rumours' comes true will be the first.

Unless something dramatic changes in the next few hours, Edmonton isn't expected to make any trades tonight. Saving it for Draft Day #tease

pretty obvious, I think

Nothing if Edler is also coming along with Schneider.

We are under valuing CS.

He's worth our #7 and a prospect.

That being said, I'm sure a trade for the pick wouldn't come until the 11th hour.

Lets try not to over analyze and just enjoy the ride.

True, He must read HF for his rumors

I follow him for a good laugh.

7th overall is a potential game breaker, Schneider is a proven above average regular season goalie. I gamble on the pick. Keep rolling with Duby.

With the amount of speculation this year not sure how obvious anything is.

I'd be fine with trading a 7th for a good player, just not Schneider. There is nothing to suggest he's worth that kind of return except hype, and there is massive risk of getting a dud in the Toskala/Raycroft vein.

I'm not with the Dubnyk hater crowd who thinks every single goal he lets in is automatically soft either. I'd rather see what he can do with a real NHL defense in front of him than acquire another team's overhyped backup.

It's actually 47, and that's over 1/3rd more... It's actually quite a big difference

Tomorrow comes and goes,and still no Edmonton trades.

 

[workedforme]

If there really is a deal with the Nucks I hope it's for Edler not Schneider.

 

[Njoy Oilers]

Every team out there are trying to screw over their trade partners. Go figure.

 

[SometimesY]

Seems like a tough year to be a rookie GM... Horcoff and Hemsky are not even anyone's radar it appears.

Yup, and all 29 other teams improved their team substancially today!

 

[Del Preston]

So I assume the people upset there hasn't been a trade yet will be the first ones to complain with the return when there is one?

 

[ekcut]

If we deal the 7th for Schneider I will be sharpening my pitchfork. And I'm the biggest homer around.

What do you expect?Both Hockey Players are inadequate!

 

[Seachd]

I know people are antsy for trades, and it's a fun time of the year, but there are still 3 months to get things done before the offseason.

That said, I hope tomorrow is eventful.

 

[Auguste McEscoffier]

Man, Mac sure is showing the Stanley Cup champs a lot of respect by waiting to announce his completed deals until Sunday.

As long as the Oilers draft 7th overall tomorrow, I will be happy - regardless if trades are made or not.

 

[McShogun99]

I don't want Schneider. The cost to get him will be astronomical. Give Dubs 1 more year, sign a 1b like Emery, Bryzgalov, Theodore or Luongo if he gets bought out. The only thing I want to see the 7th traded for is to move up to the top 5 or in a package to land a good young center or defenceman.

Beat a dead horse much? Pretty much everyone who said that have come out and said they were wrong

The only deal that we've discussed that would upset me is the 7th for Schneider one. I'm good with 2 2nds for Coburn, Pitlick+ for Clutterbuck, Hemsky for Smith, etc

 

[Valic]

For the love of god someone better outbid us on Schneider.

With so much hype and rumors about tomorrow, if nothing goes down, it'll be more anticlimatic than the 2012-2013 LA Lakers.

 

[Catamo]

This team has all the young star power it needs and would benefit from trading the 7th for a solid goalie or defender.

Well,Mactavish better improve this franchise between now and then,because if he doesn't,well then----I will then have to come to his home with my Pitchfork and Machete!

 

[SHO NUFF*]

While I don't think goaltending is a strength of the Oilers, I also don't view it as a weakness. Not opposed to dealing the #7, but I'd rather see it used to address either the center position or to bring in the long awaited top 4 D.

 

[SometimesY]

I am ok with no trade vs bad trade. MacT may find that it is tougher to get value than he anticipated.

 

[402]

I like the thread title

I think Horcoff and Hemsky won't get traded until the free agent market dries up and GM's get desperate to fill the holes on their roster. There's just too much happening right now to bother with players like that.
