Racki: Oh and I will take this moment to say that I think Peckham will come back to better form this year. I think his concussion really affected him in more ways than one. If he can overcome that, and worry less about getting concussed again, I think he’ll surprise some doubters and people that have given up on him.

Exactly how I feel. The only thing I question is what team this will happen on. Can't help but think that a lot of other teams would love to get their hands on a young & physical guy like Pecks. I keep thinking that he will be a throw in on "The Big Deal" that many are speculating about.

Yandle would be fantastic. Gagner and Whitney for Yandle? Gagner has to go. He is likely to get an obscene contract on arbitration. He is also a guy that they have interest in.

That would be a great add…

I keep harping on it, but I think we have to push Whitney out sooner than later, and bringing in Yandle would help do that.

Yandle J. Schultz
Sutton/Peckham Potter/N. Schultz

I’ve got a funny feeling the Oilers are working on a trade with Phoenix for Yandle He wouldn’t be the final piece of the puzzle but would help give us the best defence we’ve had in many years!

Bob Stauffer tweeted that Rosival is asking for $3+M.. which is a big paycut considering he was at $5M on previous contract. Also, he mentioned 3 teams are in on him, and none are Edmonton.
