Take their picks and then when the big two leave Edmonton in the next few years after never achieving anything in the playoffs, they won't have impact players in the pipeline  |
I think it was on Marek/Friedman about 10 days ago they were talking about this and said something to the effect of "Imagine you're Craig Conroy and you make a deal with your arch-rival Oilers...and then they win the Cup. Doesn't matter what you got...they won the Cup and you helped them."
This. Always this. E=NG. Never, ever do "real" business with them. Ever.
