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.

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

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...
