ALES HEMSKY RUMORS & GOSSIP

Hemsky On The Trade Block

The NHL trade deadline is February 27th. It is two and a half weeks away. One of the big name players who is likely to be moved is Ales Hemsky of the Edmonton Oilers. The Edmonton media is writing pieces to prepare their fans for this inevitability. This is likely not such a smart move. Tyler Dellow writes two intelligent pieces on this situation here and here. Hemsky...

Richard Cloutier: Short Blog; Read Slowly

Very quick blog for now; please forgive. I'll write something longer and much more interesting after tonight's Oilers/Wings tilt. Here's a few quick notes to keep you entertained in the mean time. Are They In or Out? Hearing again Detroit will be looking close at Ales Hemsky during tonight's game. The reason? The Wings have been trying to acquire a big, meaty forward...

Why trading Ales Hemsky is a bad idea

If you live in Edmonton, it’s hard not to turn on the radio, check twitter or read most blogs without seeing someone demand that Ales Hemsky be traded and a list of trades, that person has come up with inside their head.  I have a few problems with all of this.  First off, most of the suggested trades stink.  If the Oilers need anything, it...

KRONWALLED: Ales Hemsky Prays for a Trade to Detroit, Red Wings Lose 5-4

For Ales Hemsky, those rumors that he might be headed to Detroit can't come to fruition fast enough after this play. Of course, he might not remember much of anything. Kronwall's hit was one of the very few bright spots in a first period that left the Wings down 3-1 early. The Wings were able to take a 4-3 lead in the third period, but couldn't hold their...

Red Wings-Oilers wrap-up: a messy night and controversy on and off ice, here and in Sweden

The Detroit Red Wings spent Sunday morning flying to Phoenix probably feeling like Ales Hemsky did after he was very cleanly Kronwalled (and even the Edmonton Journal’s David Staples says the hit was clean)—probably a little dazed and confused as to how they’d managed to rally from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits to take a 4-3 lead on the Edmonton Oilers… And yet a...

Richard Cloutier: Ales is Wonderland

Somedays being a small fish in a big pond sucks. There is much more to the Ales Hemsky situation that what's apparent and obvious to the masses. And just what do the masses know? - Ales Hemsky becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1st if the Oilers don't re-sign him first. - Hemsky is playing like a man who wants to be dealt. - The Oilers don't seem that...

Where will Ales Hemsky land?

The NHL trade deadline is less than a month away with Edmonton Oilers right wing Ales Hemsky listed as one of the top commodities. His team continues to free fall in the standings as they likely prepare for yet another lottery pick. Hemsky has roughly $1.6 million remaining on his $4.1 million cap hit which makes him an affordable option for nearly every team craving that final piece...

Edmonton Oilers: Pieces in Play at NHL Trade Deadline

The Edmonton Oilers will be sellers at this year’s trade deadline, and the obvious question is this: Who are they willing to move? The obvious answer is Ales Hemsky, who is in the final year of a 6 year contract he signed back when Kevin Lowe was calling the shots. The contract, which gave Hemsky a cap hit of $4.1 million for 6 years, was considered a stroke of genius by...

Ales Hemsky traded? Not yet, but soon.

Goodbye Ales Hemsky. Ok, that statement is a few weeks premature, but Oilers fans should start getting used to the idea of Hemsky playing for a different club. As the NHL trading deadline of February 27 approaches, it is a strong likelihood, given his woeful play this season, that the Oilers will part ways with streaky forward. Hemsky has managed only a meagre 11 points this season...
