2010 NHL Entry Draft – There Will Be Fireworks
NHLHS Draft and Prospect Correspondent Mike Murangi, who will be tweeting live from the draft floor this weekend in Los Angeles, tells us there will be fireworks starting today.
Los Angeles – The 2010 NHL draft may have quite a fireworks display even before Steve Tambellini makes his way to the podium to announce to the world the winner of the Tyler vs. Taylor sweepstakes. Going into the ’09 draft, there was one trade in the days leading up to the first round. As of June 24, 2010, we have had two major and three minor trades. Thank you salary cap era.

Hall, Seguin or Spezza? Oilers face decisions
The 2010 NHL entry draft is fast approaching and will be starting June 25th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles; the buzz around the Edmonton Oilers is rapidly heating up.
Not only has there been great debates on whom the Oilers should take albeit Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin but since a leak broke out about Jason Spezza being on the block along with his 7 Million dollar cap hit through 2014-2015 has sparked rumors aplenty across NHL nation this last week.

The Oilers Season in a Nutshell
The 2009-10 regular season for the Edmonton Oilers was simply a season that the entire Oiler Nation would love to put behind them.
Many NHL prognosticators predicted a post season berth for the Oilers with their off-season moves and coaching staff adjustments, bringing in players like Nikolai Khabibulin to solidify the goaltending.
The team also brought in a past proven winner plus offensive spark plug and home town boy Mike Comrie. The additions of legendary coach Pat Quinn and Tom Renney as his assistant also looked like a pure genius move by G.M. Steve Tambellini.
Right winger Ales Hemsky led a cast of what seemed to be a decent forward depth squad with player’s such as Dustin Penner, Sam Gagner, Shawn Horcoff and Patrick O’Sullivan and what looked to be a solid back end with Sheldon Souray, Lubomir Visnovsky, Tom Gilbert, and Denis Grebeshkov.

The Value of: Lubomir Visnovsky
NHL Hot Stove presents it’s “The Value Of” series which will look at some of the names discussed around the NHL who likely will be moved at the March 3rd trade deadline.
If the Oilers cannot move star defenseman Sheldon Souray perhaps they can move another of their excellent offensive defensemen in Lubomir Visnovsky. TSN’s Darren Dreger listed Visnovsky as one of his 10 most likely players to get traded at the trade deadline so it should make sense that the Oilers wish to move this talent.

At this point the entire city of Edmonton knows their star defenseman and powerplay trigger man would waive his no trade clause if the deal “makes sense.” So lets sit in our armchair and play general manager, trying to find out exactly what we can get for our All Star.

The Sellers: Edmonton Oilers
The Sellers is a weekly column presented by NHLHotStove that will discuss all the rumblings and situations surrounding the teams that will most likely miss the playoffs. Heading into the March 3rd trade deadline, keep an eye out here for the bottom eight to ten teams in the league that will be known as “sellers”.
Recently, the Edmonton Oilers star defenseman and powerplay quarterback expressed his willingness to waive his no trade clause in his contract. Dan Barnes with the Edmonton Journal wrote Sheldon Souray would be open to waiving his no-trade clause should there be a fit. Of course, this trade would need to make sense.
At the ripe age of 33 one would assume this player more comfortable living at home, rather than shipping himself across country.
The Oilers began the season with promise he, but injuries prevailed. The team’s two biggest names, Nikolai Khabibulin and Ales Hemsky, most likely will miss the entire season, taking its toll on the team. Now with no playoffs in sight the club can do nothing but sell, sell, sell.
Automatically names like Souray, Shawn Horcoff, Lubomir Visnovsky and Fernando Pisani come to mind. However, would the Oilers go as far as to trade team captain Ethan Moreau?
