http://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/players/jeff_petry/126030 Recent articles about Jeff Petry en-us Word from Hockey God Bob McKenzie just now regarding top NCAA prospect Danny DeKeyser. According to McKenzie, DeKeyser has been approached directly by Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz. DeKeyser is 6' 3", 198lbs and is described as a solid two-way defenseman. This would be huge for the Oilers if it occurs. Having DeKeyser, Justin Schultz, Jeff Petry and Oscar Klefbom as the Oilers future Top 4 w...

At the 3:39 mark of OT Pavel Datsyuk took pass from Johan Franzen and really did what he does best, making the opposing defense look silly to eventually light the lamp giving the Wings a 3-2 win. After being down 2-0 it looked like the Wings were on their way to their 4th straight loss with an offense that continued to have trouble scoring goals. However Valtteri Filppula was finally able to get the Wings on the board with his second goal in as many games since coming back from injury. Then with under 10 minutes remaining Niklas Kronwall was able to tie the game at 2 after the Oilers looked to put it in their own net. Jimmy Howard made 30 saves after sitting out the night with what was being described as flu like symptoms. Total shots on goal were 32-28 in favor of Detroit.

Set Dubnyk's cap hit to $3.5mil per season, and Petry at $1.75mil per. Good deals? Not bad. I think it's an overpayment for Dubnyk, but at least the signing clears up any confusion that could exist as to what the plan is for him. Devan will...

Dubnyk won 20 games in 47 appearances for the Oilers last season. The 6-foot-5 goalie had a 2.67 goals-against average and .914 save percentage. Petry had two goals and 23 assists in 73 games for Edmonton last season. Byers spent last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets and their main affiliate, the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League. He had 29 penalty minutes in eight games with the Blue Jackets, and 16 goals, 23 assists and 108 penalty minutes in 61 games for Springfield.

Actually, it sucks. This is not to say things can't be fixed for the 2012/2013 season. Over the next two or three weeks, Oilers GM Steve Tambellini has some work to do.

Improve defence 2. ??? 3. Playoffs Through the 2011-12 season the Oilers faced a number of challenges, most of those stemmed from a weak defensive core. Especially with Ryan Whitney lost somewhat long term to a nagging ankle injury, and then a knee injury and then an ankle injury again, the Oilers were forced to quicken the development of young and rookie defencemen like Jeff Petry and Theo Peckham. Going into the next season however, the Oilers will have a few choices.

So why do we keep losing to them? It helps when your defense bothers to show up. At least two of the goals against the Oilers on Saturday were caused by brutal plays by Jeff Petry in the defensive zone. As bad as Petry played, there is plenty of humble pie to go around.

His recent injury then should be considered a stroke of good luck? In the July 2nd post I linked to above, this was the main issue:Did he ever--at any time--play tough minutes in the NHL? No. He didn't in Minnesota and in Chicago they always had a better option. Whatever Barker's value--real or imagined, it doesn't appear in the secondary disciplines (that I can find). So it set up an interesting situation for Oiler fans. Would coach Tom Renney use Barker as a 5-6D option against the NHL's competition, or would he run him like a high profile $2.25M free agent?According to Gabe Desjardins behind the net, Barker ranks 8 out of the 9 Oiler defensemen in terms of Qual Comp. Now, these things can sway here and there, but it does establish that coach Renney did not consider Barker a better option than Whitney, Gilbert or Smid. Or Potter. And Petry too when he was reca...
