Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Bernier assigned to AHL on conditioning stint. Leaves buying time as they are trying to trade him.

Oilers new management done with their evaluation of players and are preparing to make major changes. Believe they have the goaltending and will build around Talbot and McJesus up front. All players other than those two subject to trade, obviously not all of them.

Oilers said to be looking for defence and prospects that are NHL ready or close to it.want to make changes now as they feel with the way the division is going they can still turn it around and make the playoffs.

Price out a minimum 6 weeks.

If you want bigger, meaner D-men, Rahimi has gotten better since his North American stint. He is now assistant captain on his SHL team and a regular presence on the national team when NHL players aren't available.

Albeit at the moment he is suspended for a hit to the head...

A stick laying on the ice....

It would actually depend on what comes back.

Why wouldn't we try ans sell a Higgins to the oilers. They need a veteran for their second/third line, and we need a high 2nd round pick!!

Let's face it Patrick Kane is the best player in the game right now. His IQ, patience with the puck, ability to slow the game down, to control the play, vision is something we haven't seen since Gretzky. Not saying he is Wayne but he is similar

Still hate the yank

I hate Patrick Kane with every fiber of my being.

He should be a Leaf...

Corrado camp said to be upset with how the leaves are handling his situation. If they don't intend to play him he wants to be waived. Could be an NHLPA grievance coming.

Babcock has a plan

I've asked this before, but I still don't get it....

If the Leaves do waive him, does Vancouver get first crack? And if Vancouver does have first crack, can they immediately send him to Utica without clearing waivers again?

Would Vancouver claim him? IF they can send him to Utica then they'd be stupid not to.

Keith Ballard announces retirement due to concussions in his career.

Google it.

The answers are YES, YES, and YES.

(the first two are for sure, the last one is IMO)

I've answered these questions in this forum before, don't recall who was asking...
