Merry Christmas Oilers!!

Really shocked that Edmonton didn't have to give up anything of value here. I guess Dallas thinks he can contribute in some way. Would be nice if he got his game going again, but doubtful. Not a bad player, just a horrible contract.

Guess Paajarvi goes with him for something ile a 5th rounder.

Gets them a vet leader on a terrible contract but you get a young piece back in return.

WTF? You were doing so well Jim.

I guess this could work for them depending on the other pieces and involved. Also I assume Edmonton would retain a fair bit of salary.

One things for sure, this ain't yo daddy's Dallas Stars!

Going to be interesting to see if Hall has what it takes to be a captain.

What are the Oilers up to though? Waived Belanger, and now got rid of Horcoff's contract. Wonder if they are going hard after Bryzgalov, Clarkson, and probably a defender or two.

My guess is Hartikainen is involved and Nill thinks he can convince him to come back to NA.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 8s Sounds like DAL and EDM still putting finishing touches on Horcoff deal and as @DarrenDreger reports, several pieces involved.

Wow, I would have to imagine the price was a 2nd rounder that Edmonton sent along to Dallas. Thats 2 more years at 5.5m

I think that this will be a good trade for the Stars, Horcoff - while having a very high cap hit for the player that he is, is still a good player and for a team with caproom but a lower payroll budget he is the perfect 3rd line player. The Oilers were a significantly better team with Horcoff in the lineup, the problem was that he was often injured and those injures eventually caught up to him.

He offers good leadership to a young team such as Dallas and could prove to be a good mentor to Seguin.

Several pieces? Wow, Nill is wasting no time putting his stamp on this team. Dunno about this Horcoff move yet but I like what they're doing down there. Big culture change all the way to the new green uniforms (which by the way I love!).

Are you guessing or is this real? I'm guessing it's just a wild guess, but you might want to clarify it in your post.

I assume this requires green text or is just speculation? MacT would have to be fired on the spot.
