My Kingdom For a Centreman

Edmonton Oiler’s head coach Dallas Eakins addressed the media Thursday afternoon expressing his concern that at this point, the team only has two NHL centremen. Finally, a coach that sees it and says it like it is. It’s not that the team doesn’t have a few options down the centre, but most are young and inexperienced and likely to gain more from another year of seasoning in the AHL with the Oklahoma City Barons than another year of struggles and losses with the Oilers.

Oilers Trade Omark to Buffalo

Edmonton Oilers' GM Craig MacTavish has finally done it, he has successfully traded Linus Omark. Omark is a once highly touted Oilers' prospect who was soon surpassed by even younger and more talented prospects as the Oilers hit the jackpot with three first overall picks in a row. Omark's performance in the NHL never took off, while he has been the AHL Oklahoma City Baron's top scorer.

Prospects Moroz and Chase start season strong

Year after year, Edmonton Oiler fans have been told to look to the future. Now that there is an entertaining, competitive team iced every night, you might think that the message might be different. But there are still a few holes the Oilers need to fill, a few players the team could use. A trade would of course be ideal, but with the ever changing salary cap ceiling, teams have to at least attempt to develop their own players to fill in the gaps. The ever elusive power forward, able to keep up with the fast moving top six would top the required list for most people, and so the interest in prospects such as Mitch Moroz of the Edmonton Oil Kings and Greg Chase of the Calgary Hitmen is high. Luckily for these players, they are off a good start this season.

Before their home opener at Rexall Place Tuesday night, the Oilers put together a string of highlight reel material to celebrate the return of the Jets not only to the NHL but also to Edmonton. If you weren't at the Edmonton home opener, you couldn't see this until now. Enjoy!
