*-> Edmonton Oilers are trying to desperately peddle Sheldon Souray to teams around the league. The Oilers are reportedly seeking 2nd rounder plus willing to take back a cap hit in exchange. Not many suitors however have been linked except the St. Louis Blues and Washington Capitols.
*-> That leads me on to the second rumor of Washinton shopping Jose Theodore currently. I touched briefly on this last week as Seymon Varlamov and company are ready to take over. His cap hit is quite scary and which Jose Theodore your going to get is a mystery but he could be a reliable playoff backup if you have that kind of cash and could be acquired cheaply I'm sure. I think the Caps would need an experienced backup for the playoffs but it doesn't mean they couldn't acquire one of the many out there now. One being Martin Biron who would allow them to still bring in another player for the drive. The only team I've heard after Theo is the Edmonton Oilers strangely enough.
*-> I'm hearing Jim Rutherford in Carolina is ready to dismantle and start the rebuilding process. Noones safe reportedly but I really don't see them trading Eric Staal or Cam Ward like many rumors are calling for. Tuomo Ruutu might also escape just because they love his style. Guys like Joe Corvo, Ray Whitney, Sergei Samsonov, Rob Brindamour, Jussi Jokinen most likely will be shopped.
More tonight guys, thanks to everyone whose commenting. Keep it coming!

Oilers need to change their way of thinking. First of all the "Brain" of the opperation is in need of a transplant. Kevin Lowe was never a decent hockey player he was not even close to a decent coach, his GM day's were disasterous. And now they decide to make him president. WTF. Does anyone in this organization know about hockey ??? Steve Tambillini Obviously wasn't wanted in Vancouver anymore. Pat Quinn is a frickin geaser. Shawn Horcoff if paid to be a first line centerman and is having a hard time facing off against second line centers on other teams. Giving a guy such a Ethan Moureu over 2 million dollars a year is absolutly mind boggling. Picking up a washed up goaltender was rediculous. Shopping away Ryan Smyth is starting to look very Ssstupid. Now we are going to solve all our problems by getting rid of Sheldon Souray. Unbalievable. This team will die before they fix it if they do not change there managment. I could go on all day but im sure i got my point accross. KEVIN LOWE AND STEVE TAMBELLIN ARE A JOKE AND A DISCRASE TO THE NHL. That is all thank you.

I agree Kevin Lowe isn't the greatest choice of management especially since as you pointed out he struggled as a GM and that's the reason why the Oilers are still tanking. I'm not too sure about Mr. Tambellini yet ether but he's still cleaning up the mess created for him. I for one knew the Oil wouldn't compete this season. Buying a team in the offseason isn't the way to build a dynasty. I think their ready for a full dismantling and a rebuild would do the club wonders. Trade the old guards for what prospects and picks you can get. Rebuild around the young guys like Gilbert, Grebeshkov, Gagner and co. They still need time. The management needs to finish the job right.
