Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers lost one starting goalie but gained another on Wednesday, as they landed free agent Nikolai Khabibulin with a four-year deal worth $15 million US.

The Chicago Blackhawks made another free agent splash picking up free agent forward Marian Hossa for 12 years, $62.8 million. Hossa opted to cash in this year rather than bet the farm on a one year deal with a contender like he did with Detroit last year... however, the Chicago Blackhawks are not...

The Edmonton Oilers are turning to another veteran goaltender. Edmonton signed 36-year-old Nikolai Khabibulin to a four-year, 15-million deal on Wednesday. He'll replace 39-year-old Dwayne Roloson, who signed earlier in the day with the New York Islanders. Khabibulin is a former Stan...

Hoping to free up money and roster space, the Oilers dealt center Kyle Brodziak to the Wild for a pair of draft picks that turned into six-foot-five, 230-pound defenceman Kyle Bigos and Cape Breton's Olivier Roy, one of the best goalies in the QMJHL. "We need to change our lineup," said GM St...

DRAFT PICKS OF NOTE: --Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, 6-1, 201 (SEL), first round, 10th overall -- Perhaps the fastest skater in the entire draft, Svensson has world-class potential. He hasn't lit up the scoreboards in the Swedish Elite League, but the fact he was playing there as a 17-year-...

The Oilers tried hard to move up in the draft, hoping to trade their 10th pick and a warm body to move into fourth spot, but they couldn't close the deal and wound up taking Swedish prospect Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson 10th overall. The six-foot-one, 201-pound winger just turned 18 and has bee...

New Minnesota general manager Chuck Fletcher continued his wheeling and dealing in the NHL draft on Saturday, trading the Wild's fourth and fifth-round picks to Edmonton for center Kyle Brodziak. The 25-year-old Brodziak had 27 points in 79 games for the Oilers last season. The 6-foot-2...

Ever since Daryl Katz took over the Edmonton Oilers, a growing number of their nouveau-riche fans have been coming across like Rodney Dangerfield at the Bushwood Country Club in Caddyshack: "Gimme one of these, two of those, a couple of those ... throw in Jagr, Hossa, Bouwmeester and Heatle...

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) I was struck by the fact that Peckham seemed more comfortable than most of the recalls on the blue over the last few seasons. He's still a born minus in the NHL, but he's already displaying a confidence in himself and a willingness to rise to the challenge.

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) I'm pretty certain the day was Tambellini's save for the choice of Buchberger as the coach to stay. The Oilers let go Moores and Huddy and we're fans so there's nothing really we can say about it. Except. Except that Moores and Huddy have more experience and would seem to be better suited to fill...

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) Kevin Lowe was told the 1979 draft (via telephone) was to start at 10am. He expected a call from Alan Eagleson around 10:15 to tell him which team had selected him in the first round. Lowe waited, and waited, and waited. By 10:45am the phone hadn't rung and Lowe's mom said "My God, they're not dra...

To the point of pure physical violence, Glenn Anderson mashed everything in sight--defensemen, linesmen, sticks, pucks, goalies, nets and if the boards hadn't been there he would probably have ki...

By Greg Wyshynski The Rangers goalie earned his first shutout of the season in a 4-0 win over the plummeting Pittsburgh Penguins. King Henrik made 27 saves -- including 12 in the first period and some thievery against Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin -- for his 20th win of the season.

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) For Oilers fans we're probably a couple of weeks away from the point where we can safely begin talking about the June draft. As of this morning, Edmonton is close to 8th but also close to 15th, which in the Kevin Lowe "Groundhog Day" era smells a lot like poetic justice. The Edmonton Oilers sinc...

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) The Edmonton Oilers have traded C Jarret Stoll and D Matt Greene to Los Angeles. At first blush it is terrific news for Marc Pouliot and Ladislav Smid, but I think there are probably other moves to be made.

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) The Oilers draft players all the time who have slipped through the previous season. Guys like Mathieu Roy, Kyle Brodziak, Danny Syvret and yesterday Jordan Bendfeld. Edmonton has been able to get a lot of quality out of that area of the draft.

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) I always like to offer a disclaimer when talking about ranking prospects. Rita is one end of the scale, someone like Fernando Pisani is the other.

They didn't. It's the same this summer with regard to Shawn Horcoff. The Sheldon Souray and Dustin Penner deals are going to look even more ghastly should Edmonton sign Jarret Stoll and allow Shawn Horcoff to come to camp as an impending UFA.

Injury. Edmonton Oiler fans have seen a lot of good young defense prospects lose most or all of their careers to injury over the years. Selmar Odelein, Nick Stajduhar and Doug Lynch among the names who washed out before making names for themselves at the NHL level.

By Staff Huge controversy going on up in Edmonton. Micheal Nylander apparently wasted a critical 24-hour period for the Edmonton Oilers. We found this site, via The Battle of Alberta . Edmonton = Stunned Gold Around the NHL Add it up Paul Coffey was so dominant he needed to go back up.

The Edmonton Oilers complained to the NHL on Tuesday that they had an agreement with freeagent center Michael Nylander before he signed with the Washington Capitals.

By speeds Oops, forgot the Oilers had Sykora, lol. I'd have gone Smyth, Sykora, and Pouliot. And Horcoff is shaken up. Promising start, lol Starting goalies are, not surprisingly, Roloson and Hasek. Oilers start with Horc's line, DET with Z, Datsyuk and Holmstrom.

By Dennis-IOF This shouldn't make Oilers fans overconfident though because the Oilers defense can be downright terrible and you put enough of a forecheck on guys like Greene, Smid and Bergeron and eventually the puck will find it's way onto a Stars stick.
