Hemsky asks for trade… and other Oilers news
By Racki, April 1, 2010 8:42 amJordan Eberle has been recalled by the Oilers. He will play in Friday’s game. If you’re a fan of Jordan Eberle, get excited, Pierre McGuire.
The NHL’s board of Governors are currently in talks about re-doing the draft process. Suggestions are being made that the Oilers threw the season in order to land the #1 or #2 pick, and that the lottery does not prevent teams from tanking the season. Word is that the format could change as early as this years draft. The suggested format being reviewed is a random draw for each 1-14 spot for all non-playoff teams.
Taylor Hall was recently interviewed about the possibility of playing for the Oilers this year and has stated that he will not be signing with the Oilers if they are the team that wins the Hall sweepstakes. More sad news for the city!
Dany Heatley has finally accepted the original trade to the Edmonton Oilers and will be leaving the Sharks tonight to come here. The trade with the Sharks and Senators will be undone, and Cogliano, Penner and Smid will all head to San Jose.
That is all. 
UPDATE: for those unaware, this of course was an April Fool’s joke

this had better be an April fools joke
Of course a joke, but very well sold Racki
You pretty much stated a few nightmares lol…
Oh in other news, the Spitfires series vs the Whalers starts tonight, I believe. As in Hall vs. Seguin. And this one is no joke
I wonder if we can catch it on the web (the usual place) or someplace. TSN should be jumping to pick it up!
Heatley! That’s not an April 1 joke, that’s an April 1 nightmare.
Hah, very true… I don’t think that’s quite the culture change the Oilers had in mind.
Funny, but I still like Dubnyk as a centerman — Oiler home page.
Damn racki I believed you! I almost cried
LOL! Sorry BO
My heart sank and I just sat there, then i read the bottom part and almost went off. Thank god you were kidding! I hope DD actually plays center lmao and as for the Edmonton Sun article someone posted I disagree that we have t osuck again next year and think we could make the culture change this off season, get Hall, Eberle, Svensson, Hemsky, Brule, Penner, Gagner, Whitney etc we will be fine. I think Whitney is going to be a big leader here and will be the captain nexxt year after Moreau is traded and Pisani is let go. I can’t wait for the draft, it will start what should be an exciting rebuild and we will see a lot of trades and the drafting of hopefully two great players (Hall and Petrovic I hope)
