TAYLOR CHORNEY RUMORS

Yesterday the Edmonton Oilers placed Taylor Chorney on waivers for the purpose of re-assignment to Oklahoma City, but St. Louis Blues have picked up the young defenceman and placed Carlo Colaiacovo on injured reserve. This frees up a contract for the Oilers, but without seeing someone they are excited about on waivers, the team is not likely to pick anyone up. Trades are always...

The Edmonton Oilers have re-signed defenseman Taylor Chorney and center Ryan O'Marra to one-year deals. The 24-year-old Chorney had a goal and three assists in 12 games for the Oilers last season. He has one goal and six assists in 56 career games since being drafted by Edmonton 36th overall in the 2005 entry draft. O'Marra, also 24, had one goal and four assists in 21 games for...

Taylor Chorney and the Edmonton Oilers should be ready to part ways, move on to new challenges. Since turning pro in the fall of 2008, he's a combined -80 overall (AHL and NHL). Chorney is undersized for his position and has been passed by several (many) blueline prospects since 2008. They include Jeff Petry and Theo Peckham, both drafted one year after Chorney. However, the Edmonton...

Taylor Chorney is on his way to Edmonton to hopefully bolster a battered and bruised Oilers’ blueline. With 15 points (3-12) on the stats sheet for Oklahoma City in 40 games this season, Chorney was called up by Oilers’ GM Steve Tambellini earlier today, as a fill-in for Jim Vandermeer who continues to suffer from a troubling ankle injury. Edmonton’s top D man, Ryan Whitney...

Colour me surprised. The Edmonton Oilers have recalled Taylor Chorney from the OKC Barons today.  He’ll likely be playing in tomorrow night’s game in Dallas. Chorney has 15 points in 40 games (3G-12A) and is even on the +/- scale. You may remember Taylor Chorney from last year’s rock opera The Shift, where he and Jason Strudwick were on the ice for a nearly four minute shift...

The Edmonton Oilers need some of their good young D prospects to turn into actual NHL players. Taylor Chorney is one of them, and in fact has the second best draft pedigree of the group. Chorney has also flown more sorties than any of the other kids and probably has more offensive upside. What he doesn't have is a strong pro resume or any kind of solid foundation to build on. For...

Taylor Chorney is a minus machine. In his AHL career--spanning 100 games--he is a monstrous -49. So far in his NHL career, which incredibly stands at 44 games--Chorney is -25. It may be genetic, as Marc Chorney went -68 in 210 NHL games during the 1980's. If the Edmonton Oilers don't give this guy some time in the minors they're not paying attention. He is not ready to help an NHL...

Current Rank: #8Summer 2009: #14The best thing I've ever read about Taylor Chorney came from Geoff Ward in the fall of 2005. He said "This is a guy that every game I have seen him in has gotten better. As a freshman playing against 22 and 23-year olds it can be intimidating, but he's done a good job. Chorney is steady in all areas and that is what stands out. He's a strong passer...

Hockey players from around the NHL have been growing Mustaches for prostate cancer awareness and here former Fighting Sioux defenseman Taylor Chorney’s attempt at growing a mustache. Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache-growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health. Eight Oilers players and three...

This is what Kris Baker of the Sabres prospects had to say about Fighting Sioux goalie Brad Eidsness and Fighting Sioux defenseman Corey Fienahage. 12 - Brad Eidsness, G, North Dakota Fighting Sioux (WCHA), 2007 5th round (139th overall)Leading the NCAA in minutes played through January, the freshman netminder walked into the starting gig in Grand Forks and demonstrated quick adjustment...
