So why didnt Nylander sign with Edmonton?

"In a sombre voice, he (Nylander) told me 'I just couldn't do it.' It was like his wife freaked out like she was being shipped to Siberia or something."

The GM was loose-lipped about the deal offered to the ex-Ranger, and the fact the one he offered was worth $2.5 million more than what the Capitals offered.

The bottom of the article is probably the best part.

THink i'd rather go to siberia....why are the oilers sucking at life so bad???? You would think they could get a couple decent free agents or something. How close are they to the salary cap??? I figure they're still wayyy under.

No joke, at first I thought it was hilarious I mean this is a major blemish on Edmonton and as a Calgarian I love to see them suffer. But it's to a point where it's kind of ridiculous. Now between laughs I just feel sorry for the city and it's hockey fans. Just when you think it can't get any worse, some other news comes out that just kicks them in the balls. They must have a huge surplus of money that they can spend on some star players, you think eventually at least greed would win out on somebody!

I'm pretty sad about this situation as well, im an oilers fan, but its kind of hard watching them try to rebuild to what they were 2 years ago when they arent even able to get Nylander?..

Who is the star player on their team right now?

Horcoff Raffi or Dvorak (or has he already jumped ship?)

I think a lot of people would say Hemsky as well, he's got skill just doesn't finish very often. Reminds of Tanguay in a way as he's always looking to pass.

The Oil do have some decent younger talent coming up like Schremp.

I think the oilers are following a great strategy...its called if your not first, you might as well be last! This way, even though they wont have a full roster, they will get great draft picks!

I will be watching as many EDM vs COL games as I can next year I hope Smyth lights it up at the ol' Rexall!
