1 commentThe Oilers have a tough decision on their hands when picking their #1 draft pick. They will either select Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin. I think it will come down to whether the Oilers need a winger or a center. Taylor Hall plays LW and Seguin is a center. I have a feeling that because the Oilers also have Jordan Eberle playing with the team next year and he is a center too, that this might make their decision a little easier. To me…they don’t need another center, but they need a really good winger and that leads to Taylor Hall.

1 commentTomorrow (May 6, 2010) Edmonton Arena is having an Open House. Is anyone going? Are you excited that the Oilers might get a new arena? I know I am. Rexal Place is so old and I would love a new arena with all that comes with it (Casino..especially). Let me hear your comments.

Good to see that some of own will still be playing some meaningful hockey this spring. This will be a great chance for Taylor Chorney to play against NHL’ers, and good experience for Ryan Potulny as he will be fighting for a roster spot come training camp.
While the quest for the silver Stanley Cup continues to dominate the spring schedule of some NHLers, Oilers Ryan Potulny and Taylor Chorney are embarking on a quest for gold with a more exclusive group.
This Sunday, Potulny and Chorney will fly to Germany with the rest of Team USA for the 2010 World Hockey Championship. Predictably, both players are über excited.
Chorney and Potulny won’t be the only Oilers to visit Germany next month: Jordan Eberle has been invited to attend Canada’s pre-tournament camp, while prospects Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, Linus Omark, and Anton Lander will attend Sweden’s camp.

0 commentsLong time Oilers Equipment manager Barry Stafford, Ken Lowe, and Lyle Kulchisky have all been shown the door by the Oilers. Barry’s been “runnin’ the gear” for 29 seasons, but will step aside along with the others as the rebuild will stop at nothing, short of Joey Moss, to ensure this team is revamped and ready to turn the corner. Since the end of the season General Manager Steve Tambellini has been busy doing his best Donald Trump, canning assistant GM/VP of Hockey Ops Kevin Prendergast last week as well.
“There is absolutely no question Kenny, Barrie and Sparky have done a remarkable job here over the past three decades and more”.
Those were the words of Oilers General Manager Steve Tambellini as he commented on yesterday’s news that Barrie Stafford, Ken Lowe and Lyle ‘Sparky’ Kulchisky were leaving their long-time posts in the Oilers dressing room.
He continued. “Our fans know what we all know. These three guys have been terrific contributors to this franchise through thick and thin. I use the words great people to describe all three, and that’s exactly what they are and all three will continue to contribute to the Oilers.
