D-Money Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The two go hand-in-hand. As in, "We're keeping Hemsky...so we better go get some more toughness!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Specter Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 MacT isn't saying Hemsky is tough. He's saying they would like to add toughness. 24 GP 6 G 11 A 17 P is a pretty good stat line for a 21? year old in the playoffs. Has some of the sickest dangles in the league.

BabychStache Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Kassian for Yakupov straight up. Sedins-Burr Booth-Kes-Yak Hall-RNH-Eberle Perron-Gagner-Kassian Solves issues for both teams. No way in hell they go for it. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hmm, if Booth and Kes don't click together (even if Booth's healthy) and if Hemsky's healthy too, I could see them (Booth and Hemsky) getting swapped for each other (after Tanev's signed we may still have money for this). Booth gives them another aggressive guy who'll go to the dirty areas (Hall can provide that but he's not as bullish, nor is Yak) Higgins worked well with Kes, and they can open up space for Hemsky to work his talent If there was no AMEX connection we can get out from Booth's contract early and Kes can potentially find his play-maker. The Oilers also get a younger guy with skill who plays physically, and this frees up some cap space ($750,000) for the following season (though Booth would be on the hook for another year). Both guys fit needs and can be potential rebound candidates due to their fit in the roles that their new teams need filling (aggressive shooter in Booth for play-makers in Gagner, Perron, etc. and setup man for Kes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 MacT torpedoed his attempts at trading Hemsky by proceeding to run him under the bus before he even started. Still, he managed to deal Horcoff. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Oilers wont trade with Canucks for 2 reasons... 1. Same division 2. Oilers are P.O.d at Gillis for trading Shnieder to NJ when they were supposidly offering more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greene02 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Two reasons why this rumour is more than likely BS: 1) If the Oilers really did offer more, why didn't Gillis accept? (ignoring the fact Edmonton is in our division) 2) We don't know what 'more' the Oilers were offering than New Jersey. I'm positive if Gillis was offered Yakupov and the 7th overall or the 7th overall, 37th overall, and Klefbom he would've taken either of those two in a heart beat. What GM wouldn't?

Pears Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Why would you ignore the only reason why Gillis would turn down a better offer? The OIlers being in the same division is a major issue for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OIlers being in the same division is a major issue for the Canucks. ...and the rumor was Paajarvi and the 7th overall pick for Schneider. That would make sense considering Paajarvi has since been traded. He was obviously available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Cousteau Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Thread title is a great example of an Oxymoron. Should be a mandatory reading for all children in Edmonton which includes half their top nine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I usually don't think divisional trades are that much of a big deal. Who would've thought Boston would trade Phil Kessel to Toronto? If the deal makes sense for both teams why not make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Edmonton never sent us an offer, that was Gillis' asking price. ^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
