The Jackets really don't need another defenseman. Our pairings are set, especially with the addition of Jack Johnson from LA. The greatest need comes at goalie.
I'd do the following if I was Howson. I'd shop the #2 for a goalie and maybe a winger. I doubt we'd be able to get either for just the pick alone. In order to get a goalie we'll probably need to package Nash in with the #2 to get a goalie. Hopefully a team would be gracious enough to give us an above average goalie along with a winger for Nash and the #2.
The team finished strong once Richards took over at helm and emo Carts went to join his pal Richards in LA. The emergence of Cam Atkinson, who almost had two hat tricks in the final games of the season, makes me hopeful for this team. Give us a decent goal tender and we'd be fighting for at least the sixth seed.

Darryl Katz is loaded, so spending money to keep these kids isn't a problem. He ain't David Thomson, who is really? But he can easily foot the bill. It'll be 1980s Oilers hockey all over again.

NHL needs to "help" their most profitable and important team
Bettman needs to contact the NBA

Yea draft predictions are useless at this point, with tournaments and playoffs still to be played, and like I already mentioned the Combine will be huge this year seeing how injuries all the top players have dealt with. Still a long ways away till draft day.
You said most profitable and important NBA team tho.
Took a nap, woke up to Sportscentre expecting them to talk about Columbus drafting Yakupov and all.
Instead, it was Bob McKenzie saying, "it's not a bad situation. They can trade their pick," and thought Montreal or Edmonton dropped a spot or two. NOPE. Edmonton gets another #1 pick and Columbus gets #2.
Consider this post a container of salt, but that's bullshit. I understand that it's a lottery, and it all comes down to balls popping out of a plastic container, but of all the teams in the top 5 to get #1, I don't think it should've been the Oilers, plain and simple. They've had the chance to do it twice now, and to build their team better, but NOPE.
Red Man (I think he brought it up) has the right idea, where there should be a rule that automatically drops a team that had drafted #1 twice already, and finds themselves near that position again for a third time. Maybe drop that team to #3 or #4 by default.

:lol that's the best part about Biznastys tweets is when he retweets the haters and rips them, I dunno why people even bother to send shit like that to players, they're more successful then 95% of people on twitter will ever be.

Anyone have a list of the top point producing players in the playoffs since the lockout? I can't seem to find one and I'm quite interested to see the results.

Pretty sure Briere and Crosby top the list. Other than that.... I dunno....

Toronto fans booed Joffrey Lupul at the Jays game today.
He deserves it for not scoring 100 goals this season.

Ha ha ha oh man Toronto does not deserve a playoff team if their fans heads are stuck that far up their asses.

What was the Leafs record since Lupul had his season ended by injury? I'm sure it was pretty bad.

Yeah I had a feeling Briere would be tops but I wasn't sure. Zetterberg and Crosby are probably up there too.
Man and if it weren't for the fact that he played for Atlanta all those seasons I bet Hossa would make the list too.
Yeah, he only put up 248 points in 222 games as a Thrasher.

He's pretty funny on Twitter. Walked into a golf joke on purpose.
I don't think it's fair that he got booed considering he was one of the team's best players, but I guess they all have to shoulder it.
Omark wants to bail out of Edmonton.

Fuck you.
Hard to really defend the booing of Joffrey Lupul... then again, everyone on the Leafs deserves to be booed. It's a team game, after all. Still, tough to see one of the Leafs' best players get that kind of treatment.
It's been a tough here. Leaf fans are angry, and rightfully so.
Awesome timing seeing as that Oilers fan thinks everything's all roses and sunshine in Edmonton. I don't blame Omark, who would want to play their in the first place, and unless you're a #1 pick you're getting demoted in time and play to Eberle, Hall, RNH, etc

I read in Swedish papers the other day that he felt like the Oilers already gave up on him
