Why is Ales Hemsky still on that team? The GM correctly acknowledged in the offseason it hasn't been a good fit and it was time for both parties to part way at least a few years ago. It would be like the Flames keeping Rene Bourque and hoping that one day he finally turns the corner even though there's ample evidence that it's just not going to happen and he's the player he is. Trading him would be addition by subtraction IMO and not because he's a cancer or anything but because he's never been part of the solution and the Oilers are a bad team where he can possibly flourish on a good team.
