Would I be pissing into the wind thinking that Gilbert could put up Bieksa like numbers. He looked good in the 12 games he played problem is can he keep it up:unsure:

That\'s probably not the reason. That would be silly. You\'re already the second-highest Karma guy anyway, so no biggee. I\'ll boost ya back up.

LOL, I just thought it was funny and was going to ask about Dobber/Bugg\'s take on Gilbert anyway. You\'re right though, somebody did send it back down again. No biggie.

Thoughts on Gilbert?

I just realized that he is not on the defensemen\'s list. I would slot him in there ahead of Filip Kuba and Cory Murphy - he has some potential and I think he\'ll be the No. 2 or 3 guy this year for Edmonton...depending on who they pick up.
Don\'t be surprised if he gets 40 points this year.

40 points 2nd year.wow. I would take that as a \"sign him up\".

I\'ll be very surprised to see him get anywhere near to that many points next year. If that happens I\'ll be a very happy Oiler fan.

So much of he does is going to depend on what Lowe does in the offseason in terms of bringing in a defenseman.

I would be far more comfortable saying he\'ll be brought along slowly with limited ice time for the first good chunk of the season, since I suspect the Oilers will see some new faces on the back end (whether they are decent faces is debateable), so he will see less ice time then he was getting at the end of last year.

I\'d put him down for maybe half of that for points but he\'ll be steady.
