Well, since there is utterly no hope of coming anywhere close to making the playoffs we can always look at the bright side.. we are that much closer to landing Taylor Hall!
As for trades, old Sheldon "I made a list of teams" Souray's stock has dropped. The guy fought Iginla and broke his F-ing hand. Oh sweet. That is faaan-tastic. Watch, now his busted hand will affect his slap shot and then it won't even be hard or fast anymore. It's pretty obvious that the Oilers should go for the young guns, but the thing is.. you say that in one breath and then say we should trade Cogs in another. I'm not ruling out the idea, I mean the kid has 13 points in 61 games, not exactly something to be proud of. He claims he's not worried, and that since he's doing "other things" right that it doesn't matter how many points he has. Umm Andrew, your not a defenceman here, your suppose to be an "offensive-minded" forward, lets get on it already!
Ethan Moreau, aka "The Captain" will also most likely be traded, but I kind of doubt that we could get much for him, he too has a mere 13 points in 60 games.
Players status:
UFA in 2010: Pisani, Comrie, Strudwick
RFA in 2010: Gagner, Cogliano Pouliot, Brule, Stone, Potulny, Jacques, Grebeshkov, Deslauriers, Dubnyk
No-Trade Clauses: Horcoff, Souray (except for the 6 teams that made his "list"), Visnovsky
The Oilers don't exactly have a lot of options, basically become sellers in a hurry get the best that you can for the guys you have, land Taylor Hall, and hope that young guns are the answer to this predicament.
