My proposal is to send Cameron Guance + a 4th to Edmonton for Omark. Edmonton gets organizational depth with a legitimate defenseman in Guance who can play now (especially if Justin Shultz gets thrown under the bus early and often). He's not as far off as Oscar Klefbom and could pair well with Jeff Petry going forward.
— The folks over at Mile High Hockey are looking at ways to fill a hole in their top nine on the wing and have identified Linus Omark as a man who could fill that role. I'm pro-Omark but at this point it seems unlikely that he'll ever establish himself as an NHL player while wearing an Oilers jersey. So if a trade has to be made, this seems like a decent one to me.

Interested to get the collective "your" opinions...

A few of us down in Denver(including myself) have had a serious mancrush on Omark for a few years now, mostly because of his shootout videos on youtube. We could use the winger depth, mostly as a future replacement for Hejduk. He seems a bit undersized to take the abuse of playing in the NHL permanently, but the chemistry that he and Duchene could potentially get makes this a very interesting trade. I don't think I'd give up any current prospects for him, but a 4th? round pick for a RFA that the Oilers will never see crack the regular lineup seems more than fair. So, how does this sound, and I would really appreciate your help with why we should stay away from someone that has no issue airing the clubs laundry.

This poor guy doesn't look too happy
Rumour is that del Zotto is having some contract issues with the New York Rangers. Do we offer what he wants on a nice juicy offer sheet? Who doesn't love 22 y/o d-men who could fit nicely on a D pair with a certain 22 y/o defenseman named Schultz?

The evidence is that nothing happens. So the economic activity is identical in periods when there was a strike or lockout compared to periods where there was not.... They're not going to see [hockey] anymore but that doesn't mean they're not going to spend their money. They spent their money on some sort of substitute entertainment.
— That's the University of Alberta's Brad Humphreys talking about the economic impact an NHL work stoppage might have on the overall economy. The University of Ottawa's Marc Lavoie is also quoted in the article saying, "Arenas and stadiums are like black holes, in the sense that people bring money in and then it disappears, it isn't recirculated in the area."

Finland Hockey is played well into the spring and the ice hockey world championships seem to come every spring too late, but here the situation is quite ridiculous.
— Aapo Mentula argues that the NHL season goes on far too long. The man has a point.

A lockout wouldn't be bad for everyone -- Timrå's General Manager dreams about a lockout so he could sign Henrik Zetterberg, Anton Strålman, Anton Lander, Magnus Pääjärvi-Svensson, Anders Lindbäck, Tom Wandell, Frans Nielsen and Peter Regin. Interestingly, he lists Zetterberg and Lander as his first two priorities.

Oilers sign VandeVelde and Plante to one-year extensions
posted by dessert1111, Jul 26, 2012
As Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal hinted last week, the Oilers have resigned AHL vets and fringe call-up options Chris VandeVelde and Alex Plante. Both were qualified as restricted free agents. Interesting that it took this long for both to agree to terms, though I'm guessing things got put on hold for the other business that the team had to take care of over the past month.
