Exit Ramp 3-Grebeshkov
The Edmonton Oilers are fairly close to the cap and Denis Grebeshkov didn't do them any favors by taking the Oildrop to arbitration. Grebeshkov's boxcar numbers (72gp, 7-32-39) and plus minus (+12, best on the team) along with his age (25) are somewhat of a "perfect storm...
Oilers Rookies and MacT: EV/60 points-per-game
One of the things most people never figured out about Craig MacTavish is how he handled rookies. Lost in the chorus of "he won't play Schremp but Petersen's on the PP!" was the fact that Craig MacTavish gave at-bats to a wide variety of rookies over the years. Many...
Sam Gagner: Let's Not Start Sucking Each Others' Popsicles Yet

Sam Gagner has the potential to be the best post-dynasty player the Oilers have drafted. He has the best head for the game that I've seen recently on a player his age at his position. He is an absolutely sublime playmaker and I can't help but feel a little thrill of excitement...
Wings overcome 4-goal deficit, but lose in shootout
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -Patrick O'Sullivan beat Jimmy Howard with a wrist shot in the third round of a shootout, and Nikolai Khabibulin stopped Henrik Zetterberg on Detroit's final attempt to give the Edmonton Oilers a 6-5 victory Thursday night.
RE 09-10: Jean-Francois Jacques
The Edmonton Oilers promised fans a team with more grit in 2009-10, a team that will be tougher to play against. Although the major moves have been flipping the coaching staff and bringing in Nikolai Khabibulin, it's also true JF Jacques has a top 12 role waiting for him this...
New Faces for 2009-10
This is going to be a fun week for NHL fans. We'll be shocked and amazed at the names that retire or pass from the game, the names that hit the waiver wire and the trades that take place (we've already seen Heatley and Kessel dealt), the names that seem to vanish into thin...
Does Pre-Season Action Mean Anything?
This is Jordan Eberle. He sounds pretty serious about making the big club this fall, or at least he is saying all of the right things.How does one go about making the Edmonton Oilers when not considered one of the favorites? Fortunately for Eberle there are some fairly recent examples...

Time is not on Dany Heatley's side anymore as it seems everyone has lost patience with his act, Bob Murray has done a great job replacing Brian Burke, Sabres preseason tickets go on sale, penalties taken by Sheldon Souray and not Ethan Moreau cost the Oilers last season and Brendan...
Horcoff No Fan of Heatley Trade Saga
by Susan SlusserFiled under: Oilers, FanHouse ExclusiveEdmonton was the one club that tried hard to swing a deal to land Ottawa's disgruntled Dany Heatley. Heatley wouldn't waive his no-trade clause to join the Oilers, however. As you might imagine, that doesn't sit too...
Brodziak traded to Wild for 2010 draft choices
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The Wild have acquired center Kyle Brodziak from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Minnesota's fourth and fifth round picks in this year's draft.
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...
RE 09-10: Ladislav Smid
Young defensemen develop by sundial. God, it's awful. I think you could make a strong argument that the Oilers would have won the Stanley if they'd had a veteran in the lineup instead of Matt Greene in spring 2006.They're always on the wrong side of the puck, they'...
Canucks at Oilers, G8, 09-10
Jean-Francois Jacques made his NHL debut on February 2nd, 2006. 6 shifts, 4:31 time-on-ice. It was a veteran lineup, even the 4th liners (Todd Harvey, Marty Reasoner) he skated with had a lot of experience. This was the team that went all the way to G7, SCF later that spring.Other...
