And We Thought That Was Bad...
Cruising around Lowetide's blog I found this article about the Oilers roster woes and the lack of "real NHL players" since the loss of Chris Pronger. LT lists Hemsky, Horcoff, Roloson, Smith, Staios, Pisani, Torres and Moreau as the Oildrop's only real NHLers, and that we desperately need more players that can contribute to the team's success. With that number reduced to five (Hemsky, Horcoff, Penner, Gilbert and Whitney) with two "sorta kinda's" (Gagner and Khabibulin), it sort of puts our roster in perspective.
