And I’m fine with a cheap “mentor” replacement. Just I’m saying that our current d-corp of Gilbert, Grebeshkov and Smid have been a different player depending on who they play with. Hell, it doesn’t have to necessarily be some vet, I suppose.. but it’ll take consideration as to who replaces those big names, if they do go. Cause Chorney, Gilbert, Grebeshkov, Peckham, Smid, (Arsene??) would get murdered, if you ask me. At least for a couple/few years until they’ve better developed. And oh to have Weber on our blue line..

The issue is that of all the players on the oilers, only the following can bring back anything of worth (and will even be considered): Hemsky, Souray and Visnovsky (I’m not sure about Penner as he was pretty toxic prior to this year). If you look at that list, and wanted to perform a rebuild, it would make sense to get rid of the older, more expensive players.

I think the best thing for a rebuild is to get the young players playing time in all situations. The more time the better. yes it would be nice to have a mentor, but look at Keith and Seabrook in Chicago (or Weber in Nashville)…they didn’t really have mentors and they turned out alright and its because of ice time and playing in all situations. (Plus the mentor role can be filled cheaper…like a Smith type player…man I miss that guy)

And dropit, 3 of those players we had a chance on (1 was even requested by Mac T publicly) however Lowe was busy chasing stars.

Oh, I know, Racki. From what I’ve heard ever since, Glencross was a huge loss to all fans. I just wanted to make it known that he won’t be coming back

Also, seriously? Souray? I’d never heard about that… Good for him I guess…
also I was just kidding about the Northern girls, I’ve seen some lookers

DropIt:
…. Although I noticed a name at ‘Step 6′ that sure as shit doesn’t belong there… You had your chance.

When you say “you had your chance”, you make it sound like the 1,000,000 Oilers fans didn’t want Glencross. One dipshit didn’t want Glencross because he wanted Hossa more. Honestly… you’re digging up a whoooolllle lot of pain for a lot of people here with that comment! I’d say there were very few people that didn’t want to keep Glencross.

-Since when does Souray make ladies wet? I wonder about those Northern ladies. I’m starting to believe they look something like those Women from ‘Futurama’ that live on their own planet…

Seriously… the guy has panties thrown at him when he steps on the ice. It’s ridiculous, but I think everyone knows that guy is pretty popular with the ladies.

-Its unfortunate that Visnovsky is easily the teams’ top asset and could bring in about anything the Oilers were looking for, yet would make the perfect player to back a rebuild stage.

You’re right, on both notes. I wouldn’t want to trade him.
