Comments on: Tom Gilbert Traded to the Wild for Nick Schultz http://puttingonthefoil.com/2012/02/gilbert-traded/ Edmonton Oilers Blog Wed, 22 May 2013 02:59:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: dawgtoy http://puttingonthefoil.com/2012/02/gilbert-traded/#comment-42593 dawgtoy Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:04:52 +0000 http://puttingonthefoil.com/?p=10486#comment-42593 Now that the shock of the trade has worn off and I’ve had some time to read just about everything I can find on Shultz, I can see the logic in what Tambellini is trying to do….in theory. I guess the smart thing to do is to simply just take some time (3 or 4 games) and watch him play, then hopefully we’ll see that he brings balance to the defense, provided everyone can stay healthy.
And since the conversation has digressed to the draft, from what I’ve seen…young Reinhart is a solid player and moving up fast. Given the Oiler have seen a ton of him, I wouldn’t be surprised to see his name called by the Oilers come draft day. Especially if we continue to play spOilers and move up in the standings.

I think he’d be good, but it would be a bit of a wait there (most likely, anyways).

Racki: True.. I always forget about Fedun.

Haven’t forgotten about Klefbom though.. or Marincin.

Martin Gernat might also be one of our more underrated prospects too.

I would also be shocked if we did not draft Ryan Murphy this draft as well. Grigorenko may not even go in the first round with the reviews he is getting now. Murphy is the shiz.

We need guys who are going to make it difficult on forwards in our d-zone…. their forwards.
