So what are all your thoughts on the upcoming season?
You guys think Hall, Eberle, and Mags will bring the oil out of the gutter?

could be because its still summer hollidays and training camps have barley started ...

having said that, I think it will be an interesting year for our westren teams. Vancouver should be about the same as they were last year, but they did sign rafi torres, so we'll see how he does.

I think the team to watch this year will be Edmonton, and not just because I am a die hard Oilers fan, but because of some high quality tallent comming in this year, and because of some interesting off season trades and new signings.

Habby is going to be back in good health, Hemsky is skating and feeling good (thoes two being out was the demise of edmonton last year)
now they also have an infusion of Hall, Eberly, and Paajarvi (if they all make the team. on the d side they picked up whitney late last season, who was already looking good, plus a couple others. If they can get a good trade for Souray, or he decides he wants to be in edmonton after all, or at least play hard till he can get a trade, the Dside looke real good.

leaving us whith the weakest part of the team after habby left. with habby back, and the signing of Gerber on a two way contract, I think your going to see some exceptional goal tending as they fight for the top two spots.

That would be awesome if they did that. First you have what a 3 mil a year Dman that doesn't want to play,then fire your 3 mil starting goalie. Dunno if those are the numbers or not cause I don't follow Edmonton but theres no way they can do that!!

Just checked 4.5 and 3.7!!

nope, they just did a press release yesterday saying he exercised his right to apeal, and will be at training camp. he will probably end up doing about 9 days and be back intime for the start of the season. if they fired him for that, what do they do with anyone else in the NHL that gets in trouble? what about the kid who killed the other player, or the countless DUIs?

its not like this is the first time a profesional hockey player has gotten in trouble with the law..

there is a conduct clause in the standard NHL contract which could be used to void a contract, but look at burtusi, and others that are still playing..

If Edmonton is planning on using this clause they are not acting like it, but seeing as they have Gerber, and Des. and Des was playing not to bad last year..... who knowes.
