The Copper & Blue, an Edmonton Oilers community

Blueshirt Banter looks at the possibility of acquiring Sheldon Souray.

I break down the Twitter rumor mill during the lead-up to the Kovalchuk trade and show that reputable insiders spent a lot of time guessing.

Rumors are circulating among San Jose fans that Marc-Edouard Vlasic suffered a not-so-minor knee injury against Chicago. If Vlasic is done for the season, does this open the door for a Sheldon Souray trade if Edmonton is able to take some salary back from San Jose in the form of Ryane Clowe?

Lubomir Visnovsky, Sheldon Souray, Ethan Moreau are all likely to move by the deadline. Puck Daddy breaks down the rumors here.

In what has to be the best news in recent Oilers history, Anaheim general manager Bob Murray has asked Steve Tambellini about Ethan Moreau's availability. If true, this could finally be the shovel that Tambellini needs to dig out from under the Oilers' cap problems. Should Tambellini choose not to move Moreau, this could be the shovel that he uses to dig his own career grave.

Glen Sather has hired good friend Doug Risebrough to scout the western conference. Would Risebrough have interest in Patrick O'Sullivan?
