In a sperate deal the Oilers had sent their 3rd round pick in 2008 and Marc Andre Bergeron to the Islanders for Grebeshkov.
However, the Oilers then traded Anaheim's 2008 2nd round pick to the Islanders to re-acquire their 2008 3rd round pick (1 for 1 trade). Why? Because they needed that pick back to offersheet Dustin Penner. Offer sheets require the team who made the offer sheet to have their original picks.
So, Pronger leaving, Grebeshkov, MAB, and Penner offer sheets all associated with the pick.
Here is to hoping that Hamonic will haunt the Oilers like the pick does.

Wow. That is a "special" kind of no good. Can you re-post this in the Edmonton is no good thread?
