No Creme Brule
The early word we're hearing (from various sources, notably Jason Gregor) is that one of the reasons Kyle Brodziak was traded is Gilbert Brule. Oilers want to have a look at him (and reportedly MA Pouliot) at center to see if he can handle things.Last July, HF poster Usual Suspect...
Oilers Sign Brule
The Edmonton Oilers have signed Gilbert Brule to a 1-year, two-way contract. Reports have the dollar amount at a very friendly $800,000. Brule can apparently be sent down and not clear waivers, although the CBA's language seems to contradict that statement. I think it's also...

Oilers at Canucks, PS G4/09-10
This is Marc Pouliot in a game last winter against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Jason Gregor has suggested a few times this training camp that Pouliot's job may be in jeopardy. On September 11 Gregor said "I still think Pouliot is going to be the odd guy out" and most recently...
Hard Nose the Highway
The Edmonton Oilers looked much better than I thought they would in their 2009-10 debut. Among the things that impressed me were Gilbert Brule, was skated well and looked like he knew what we was doing; Sam Gagner, who got in a fight and scored a big goal in the third period; Dustin...

Four RFA's and some Big Decisions Left
By my count the Oilers have four men left to sign via restricted free agency: Ladislav Smid, Ryan Stone, Gilbert Brule and Rob Schremp.One would think the Smid signing is a no-brainer unless #5 expects a big payday. It's also very likely young Gilbert Brule will be eager to sign...

Trade Watch Day 41
This is Ken Linseman. The Rat. He was small but had a big impact in pretty much every game he ever played in. A real agitator and "holler guy" he could also impact the game offensively and knew a few tricks of the trade elsewhere too.The Edmonton Oilers could use a veteran...

Oilers at Islanders, PS G5/09-10
Pat Quinn's postgame media conference had some quality insight. The best line was this one: "our veteran guys were the ones who abandoned the work, or went to individual habits early on."It's been a problem for some time, and I think it may go back to that "generation...
RE 09-10: Ryan Potulny
I don't know that a minor league player can do more to get noticed than Ryan Potulny did a year ago. His 38 goals lapped the field in Springfield, with the second place finisher (Gilbert Brule) a full 25 goals behind him. Aside from that, there was only one other Falcon in double...

It has been a crazy day for signings on the free agent market. There have been quite a few former college hockey players moving around and signing free agent deals. First off; former Miami star and power forward Ryan Jones will not get a chance to play for the Minnesota Wild, big shock...
Pouliot the Parade Maker
Marc Pouliot appears to have a glorious opportunity to establish himself as a top 9 forward on the Edmonton Oilers 2009-10. Not only have the Oilers cleared Kyle Brodziak from the roster, they've also passed on the free agents available (so far) to fill in at 3line C.The candidates...
Trade Watch Day Three
This is Bill Hicke at (I believe) the 1967 training camp for the Oakland Seals. It was a crazy TC for the Seals, with Jacques Plante hired to coach and then playing so well in scrimmages he almost made the team in front of Charlie Hodge.The Seals were star-crossed: Bill Masterton...
