FIO staff writer Rob Edwards continues his tour around the world of fantasy hockey with his take on the Top Ten Defensemen for this year's fantasy drafts.
TC Comments: Team A Blue and G
Pat Quinn didn't say much during the early session today (but he made up for it, more later) as one team couldn't score and the other couldn't stop but the breakouts looked fine and the forwards came back to help consistently. At one point they decided to try some 4-on...

Oilers 10-11
Among the things that we can call background noise is the story connecting Jaromir Jagr to the Edmonton Oilers. Recent comments from associate coach Tom Renney saying he's keeping in touch and that Jagr has more NHL seasons ahead of him make the story worth following over the...

from Joanne Ireland of the Edmonton Journal,
...it was up to a few of the Edmonton Oilers veterans to offer some insight as to what was discussed in a long Sunday morning meeting with head coach Pat Quinn.
“Honestly, we went over everything imaginable,” said Shawn Horcoff...
It's a Christmas Miracle!
There will be a new winner of the hot-off this year. He's got a big contract, he's not a longterm Oiler, he plays defence and produces more points than most of our players.But is it Sheldon Souray or Lubomir Visnovsky ?I'll be posting pictures until Christmas day when the...
Blue Money
When it comes to the Oiler blue, almost everyone is making a lot of money. Not quite seven of nine, probably 5 of 7 by the time Grebeshkov gets his new deal. Pat Quinn and Tom Renney must love a depth chart that features Sheldon Souray, Tom Gilbert, Lubomir Visnovsky, Denis Grebeshkov...

One of FIO's weekly fantasy hockey columns, staff writer Rob Edwards clues you in on some possible fantasy free agents to lookout for in Week 13 - check to see if any of these guys are on your league's waiver wire.
Forever in the pack
The Oilers are pretty well the definition of mediocrity at this point. In October, the Oilers started off with four straight victories, and followed it with five consecutive losses. As far as streaks go, that was as good or bad as it gets this year. Since then Edmonton has gone: Win...
Lubomir Visnovsky

I think even more so than Sheldon Souray we can think of Lubomir Visnovsky as that 'puck moving defenceman' that the Oilers coveted . Partly because Souray really isn't a puck mover at all even though he was sold to the public as one, but that's neither here nor there...

Chorney Callup?
Two sources (Flaming & Tencer) suggest that the Oilers will place Sheldon Souray on the IR today and recall young Taylor Chorney. The choice of Chorney (say that fast 5 times) isn't a shock but is worth mulling over. The obvious choice would be Theo Peckham (better overall...
All Hell About to Break Loose?
I think we can agree that Steve Tambellini plays his cards closer to the vest than Kevin "is it me?" Lowe did during his time as Edmonton's General Manager. I'm heartened by this knowledge and would hope that two recent items on the various hockey sites and blogs...
Midweek Musings
For those of you living elsewhere, it is -30C in Edmonton today. -30C on March 10th - a time of year where it?s usually around 0C. I stopped for gas, and my glasses actually froze. I took solace in knowing if my frozen glasses led to me being in a fiery car wreck? at least I?d be warm...

I will be writing a series of blogs discussing a handful of teams whose expectations were minimal to start the season or even now; within these teams, I believe one will take home the Stanley Cup to their franchise. I am beginning with a team that was doubted from the get-go, the Montreal...
Midweek Musings
It?s time for Midweek Musings, Canada's favourite running blog segment: - I took a look through my pre-season NHL predictions (Western, and Eastern) and was disturbed/surprised just how wrong I was about a few teams. No one predicted Boston would be so good, or Dallas so bad ?...
Depth Chart July 2009
Steve Tambellini certainly isn't finished (this is not a playoff team) but it does look like the next move is some time in the distance. As opposed to the salary post of a few days ago (scroll down), I thought it might be an idea to list the roster in terms of depth at position...
RE 09-10: The Blue
The Oilers current blue is very, very good. It's the best group of 7 since the Stanley run and remember a bunch of those guys were acquired late in the 2006 season.The Oilers lack a "complete" player like Chris Pronger, but they have 4 quality defensemen who form the...

Opening Night Rosters (Projecting 09-10)
I would normally begin a long series of "reasonable expectations" and "comparables" posts at this time of year. We'd project next season and find out that very few Swedish forwards have been top 10 picks and that finding a comp for MPS will be difficult.However...
