You can follow Todd on Twitter @ToddCordell!
The NHL off-season is just around the corner which means many questions from fans around the league as to what changes their team will make will soon be answered.
In the mean time, I attempt to answer questions regarding what the New Jersey Devils will do this off-season.
From @GmoneyHockey17: Do you think Clarkson and Elias will...

Nashville Predators’ General Manager David Poile knows he needs to acquire more dynamic forwards this offseason. He stated this in late April. Now, it is time for him to put up or shut up.
Several dynamic forwards will become available July 5, which gives Poile a variety of options. Having the fourth overall pick...
Richard Cloutier: More Hemsky/Horcoff + Random Thoughts
Okay, so the Oilers are going to try to deal Ales Hemsky and Shawn Horcoff. Shall I try to predict what the Oilers can acquire for each?
Shawn Horcoff
I'll start with the harder one to analyze. I think he has no trade value and the Oilers will need to use a compliance buyout on him. Some people are saying, "he could still play for the Oilers if there's no deal for...
Time to Pretend
Simmer down Oil Country, simmer down. The draft is fast approaching, the arena deal has come together and the Oilers have a new GM; things look good. Even better, the new GM is the cerebral and vocal Craig MacTavish who wants to be a man of action and take this team to where it was when he played. But just because he says that moving Ales Hemsky and Shawn Horcoff would be best for...
Richard Cloutier: Hemsky and Horcoff Are Going Away
Craig MacTavish said to Mark Spector on Team 1260 today that it's time for Shawn Horcoff and Ales Hemsky to boo boo away.
The Oilers new GM said the team is going to try to trade both this summer. They'll find a deal for Hemsky, but not for Horcoff. Both deals either way will result in the Oilers getting pennies on the dollar for the players, which is bad. As I've...
Richard Cloutier: The Jeropotato Blog
I have no idea who "Jeropotato" is, but I found a post of his in my comments section rather entertaining. I'm bored, so I'm going to make a blog out of it.
He posted 12 Bold Predictions. Here they are, and here's my reaction to each:
1. Edmonton can't find a suitor for Ales Hemsky, therefore he remains an Oiler for at least the start of the season...
How To Imrove The Oilers
Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Oilers answered some email today...
Q: (1) Trade the Oilers’ first draft pick at the entry draft in Newark, N.J., on June 30, trade both rookie Nail Yakupov and veteran winger Ales Hemsky, if required, to get the first overall pick Seth Jones; (2) try to sign David Clarkson of the New Jersey Devils and Boston Bruins winger Nathan Horton, even though...
Hemsky done for season?
Forward Ales Hemsky may not play another game this season. According to the Edmonton Journal, the Edmonton Oilers are looking to shelve the hurting winger, now that a playoff spot feels (realistically) out of reach. The 29-year-old is believed to have an injured foot after blocking a shot March 7. He's been reportedly taking pills and enduring cortisone shots to deal with the...
More Trade Talk
from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,
- I'm not buying the Ales Hemsky to Boston rumours. The Oilers were one loss -- last Tuesday in St. Louis -- from surrender, but four straight wins bring new life. Even if they'd sold, I don't think the Bruins were serious about Hemsky.
- Vancouver's been asked about Mason Raymond, an unrestricted free agent to be. The Canucks...
Oilers 6, Blue Jackets 4
Ales Hemsky scored the go-ahead goal with 3:08 remaining to lead the Edmonton Oilers to their second straight victory, 6-4 over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.

Should the Oilers trade Ales Hemsky?
One would think that with the surplus of young forwards that the Edmonton Oilers have, the club is sure to explore trade possibilities for struggling forward Ales Hemsky before the trade deadline.
However, with hopes of reaching a playoff spot still alive, John Shannon suggests that the Oilers have not put Hemsky available for trade – yet.
However, if they were to move the Czech...
Oilers 5, Stars 1

Lehtonen's return spoiled by Oilers
DALLAS (AP) -- Ales Hemsky scored a goal and two assists, Jeff Petry added a goal and an assist, and Devan Dubnyk made 33 saves in helping the Edmonton Oilers roll to a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.

Hot Hemsky
from Tim Wharnsby of CBC,
When the Edmonton Oilers signed Ales Hemsky to a two-year, $10-million US extension a year ago, the Twitter feed down the highway for the Calgary Flames called the move a joke.
Plenty in the hockey world snickered. After all, Hemsky had scored only five times in the 47 games before the extension was signed. But since then, he has scored 31 goals...
Video- Ales Hemsky, A Goal Scorers Goal
It's so nice to see a goal like this instead of the crash the crease, dig for the puck type goal which is becoming more prevalent these days.

Creepy guy wearing horse head mask celebrates Edmonton Oilers goal (video)
On Monday night, the Edmonton Oilers hosted the division rival Vancouver Canucks at Rexall Place. And while the fans were sent home disappointed, as the Oilers dropped the game, losing 3-2 in overtime, one fan showed up for the game dressed for success. At least if his goal was to terrify those around him as well as anybody in the television viewing audience.
You see, a man seated...

Richard Cloutier: Oilers Win Season Opener
Welcome back, Ales Hemsky. We missed you.
The Oilers opened their 2012/2013 NHL regular season by destroying the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night. By "destroying" what I'm actually saying is, the Oilers won in a shootout. When you've finished 30th, 30th and 29th in the league over the last three seasons, an OT win on the road is "destroying" someone...
Todd Cordell: Are The New Jersey Devils Interested In Ales Hemsky?

TheFourthPeriod cited that...
Fantasy Hockey: Keep an eye on Ales Hemsky
For the last few seasons Ales Hemsky of the Edmonton Oilers has carried little to no weight in fantasy hockey. I'm here to tell you today, I think that is all going to change for the 48-game schedule that will be the 2013 fantasy hockey season.Last year, Hemsky sat on the free-agent list in most fantasy formats with a disappointing 36 points in 69 games. This lack of production...

Richard Cloutier: Semin: $7mil. Bad Contract: Priceless
I am dedicating this blog to all of you haterz who believe Ales Hemsky has no trade value.
Enigmatic UFA forward Ales Semin signed a one-year, $7mil contract today with the Carolina Hurricanes. Lame. What a terrible signing.
Look, there is no denying Semin has talent, but there is more to the game than just talent. He's sort of the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and Peter...
