Hemsky The trade of Vermette by Columbus and the re-signing of Ruutu in Carolina both have little to no impact on the Ales Hemsky situation. Why? Because Hemsky is a different cat. Neither player is in the s...

Matthew Barry: Please Stop Oiler Fans - Hemsky is NOT Coming to L.A.

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 23, 2012
A player like Hemsky goes against everything Lombardi talks about - he's underachieving, underperforming, he's oft injured and he's a free agent. How the hell is Ales Hemsky a "right fit" for the Kings? The Kings don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick and a 1st round pick for a rental makes about as much sense as pounding my skull with a ball peen hammer...

Richard Cloutier: Hemsky Re-Signing Close

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 23, 2012
Hearing Ales Hemsky re-signing is close. Apparently, money is not the debate at this point. The issue to be negotiated is term. It looks like $5mil per season is the contract amount. The debate is between two or three seasons. Oilers want two, Hemsky camp wants three or longer. This being said, Hemsky's position on term is more flexible now, as he wants to remain in Edmonton...

What Have You Done For Me Lately

The Edmonton Oilers certainly had a hot streak to start the 2011-12 season, but of course the team isn’t ready to keep up that kind of pace. With injuries and the numbers achieved by the goaltending duo coming back down to Earth, few Oilers maintained their offensive streaks. For example Sam Gagner went ICE cold and Ales Hemsky didn’t actually get going until the second half...

Colten Teubert: ““It’s Been a Bit of a Roller Coaster”

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 23, 2012
Looking back at this point in time and to the point of view of Oilers’ fans, the Edmonton Oilers won the trade of Dustin Penner to Los Angeles. In exchange for Penner, the Oilers received the Kings’ first round pick – #19 Oscar Klefbom - and according to Bruce McCurdy of the Edmonton Journal’s Cult of Hockey “somebody else’s partly finished project” in defenceman Colten...

Top Rookie This Season

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 22, 2012
Early this season it became clear that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Edmonton Oilers was the top rookie in the NHL.  It seemed clear that he would be rookie of the year unless he ran into injury problems.  Those injuries have happened.  Nugent-Hopkins has missed 19 games so far this season with two shoulder injuries.  This was necessary to open up the Calder Trophy race to other...

Richard Cloutier: Tambellini...What's Up, Dogg?

It's quiet... A little too quiet... Steve Tambellini, what are you, KLowe, KFed, Sneezy, Dopey, Tiny Tim and Alfalfa doing right about now?
