I agree that Souray is done he has ruined his reputation and has had more injuries this year..who would risk him and his contract now? We may see him com back into the Nhl after this contract expires and he takes a huge paycut.

As for the draft I still feel Nug is the best bet for the Oil.. his vision and playmaking are crazy. he needs more size but with the Oil in the place they are he could/would stay in red Deer 1 more year allowing some space on the big club for others to develope and find thier pro game. I like larsson and would be happy with him but with Nug we get a bet passing centre who is very responsible D wise and would make Hemmer expendable in the long term. Yes Hemsky is a very good player and I would hate to see him go but he becomes a free agant before the Oil will make a real push for the top. better to move him for that young talented D- man we need to round out our Defense now than maybe lose him later when we have to choose who we are keeping to stay under the cap( Gags, Whitney, etc).
No matter which way they go.....wierd that a last place team has been this much fun......
