I’m wondering if the Oilers place him on waivers before the season starts.

chucker: Colin Fraser must go.F from me.What makes it worse is that Tambi has one more year on his contract.Should have been a one year deal. We better go out and sign Fasth.I will be pissed if we go into this year without more options in goal.

I agree that Fraser has contributed with jack all. However, I think signing him to a two year deal (or more) was inevitable - given that the Oilers gave up a pick (albeit a low one) to get him. Potentially, he could have done well and simply left. Signing a traded-for player to a one year deal would look like we had little faith in him from the beginning. Right now, however, I'd like for that 1 year remaining to be gone.

Extra appreciation goes to Cogliano as being the only guy on the team to play 82 NHL games – four years running.

Of the AHL’ers, I was impressed by Petry and Hartikainen. Both were more effective than some of the familiar faces. It’s nice to see that the Oilers finally have a few guys on the farm that can actually play.

I agree. The ratings were all based on quarter though, BTW.. on the whole, I would also give him an F. I think he has added nothing to the team, and if anything, taken a spot from someone who would have more of an impact.

Other people in my doghouse include Khabibulin (duh) and Foster.. and some others.

But that will all be mentioned in an upcoming topic (Very soon) called “Keep/Drop/Demote” in which Steve-O and I mention who we can see as having a future here and who we don’t.
