Like the article states, I can't see Calgary and Edmonton coming together to make a deal.

As much as I think he would be a great fit in Edmonton, and for the sake of this discussion, what do you think is a good offer for JBo?

I have a couple ideas in my head, but I'd love to know what Oilers fans think.

Unless we were sending a chunk of salary back, ie: Khabibhulin and low-end assets (ie: low end prospects, a 2nd), I don't want J-Bo.

He's a solid minute muncher but his caphit is horrid and the Oil blueline is soft enough as it is.

That being said, if he comes cheaply and we can send back cap (ie: Khabi/Horcoff + 2nd + Hamilton +) I'm all for getting him but if he's going to cost us something significant (ie: MPS + 2nd +) then I'd way rather use those assets for something else.

If NHL resumes this year, will Yakupov be in the lineup? He won't stay in Russia will he?

Mr. Krueger is a great comedian.

I agree. Yakupov should count for two just on his own. 2+1 = 3!!

Can someone please give me some insight into Ryan Whitney?

I am debating about acquiring him in a deal and would love to know if this is a great time to grab him or if I should steer clear.

Assuming the season starts, or even if not, what can we expect from him?

Thanks

He's got the wonkiest wheel this side of Andrei Markov. Just has not been the same since continually injuring his ankle. He's lost a ton of mobility and it's taken him out of the picture offensively. He still offers a solid veteran presence and can play physically but he's a shadow of what he was. Maybe this extended layoff is what he needs to get back to his top level but I'm sceptical about both his ability to be protective when healthy and to simply remain healthy. Regardless of his health level he will not be the top scoring defenseman for the Oilers. He's going to get PP2 minutes, which on this team isn't actually bad but he'll only be so productive in that role.
