72OV RW must go!
26-year-old Juraj Kolnik must go!
The 72OV right-winger who leads the Oilers in shooting percentage is being moved to create cap space for the Oilers. Kolnik has scribbled charcoal sketches of the Swiss Alps on his locker wall so there are concerns the impending RFA will bolt at season's end making him a rental for a playoff hopeful team.
GM icarus commented: "I signed Kolnik as a free agent to his first CPHL contract all those years ago when the league had just started up, so it hard to let go of him. But we are in a situation where we have five Czechs on the roster and they are all picking on him as the lone Slovak. Also, we don't want to pay him anymore."
Asked what he would like in return, icarus commented that a pick or prospect would be nice, but even better would be something suggested by local nutjob Bill Comrie: A GM can simply buy Kolnik for no money down, and do not pay until 2008-09! Wow!
icarus warned however that, only veteran GMs and ballsy newbies should attempt such a bold and daring manoeuvre.
The Oilers are prepared to take the best offer that is received, by e-mail, PM or trade proposal. The Edmonton GM is currently on MSN but since it is 5am in Calgary, no one else seems to be on.
