    So, those of you who were looking for a crazy rumor...

    TO EDM: Shane Doan, Scott Gomez, Derek Morris

    TO NJ: EDM 1st Round Draft Pick, Phoenix 1st Round Draft Pick, Marc Andre Bergeron, Oleg Saprykin

    TO PHX: Ales Hemsky, John Madden, New Jersey 3rd Round Draft Choice

    From touchstone @ oilfans.com

    Oilers would not only give up the best player in the trade, they'd also be acquiring 3 guys who become UFA's in a year, one of who (Morris @ 3.9M) is grossly overpaid.
    "This year, we did what we were supposed to do. We fought as a team. We fought as a team. And the fact is, we gotta go back and go to work, to make sure we finish this next time. That's all we gotta do. This right here makes us stronger. Let's understand who we are as a team. Let's understand this right here makes us stronger." - Ray Lewis, January, 2012.

      As soon as I saw Hemsky there I knew it wasn't true.

      Too good to be true.

          Yeah lots of talk about it at oilfans. I would not like that trade.

            Unless Lowe could sign Doan & Gomez to extensions, I can't see it happening.

            Keep in mind that Hemsky will be UFA in five years. So if you could lock up Gomez and Doan for 3 or 4 years each, I say you come out way ahead.

                Don't forget Gomez wants 5 mil. This trade wouldn't get done on EA Sports NHL 2007

                  Hemsky will have a deal in place before arbitration - very few cases in the NHL actually reach arbitration. Filing for it simply gives him some power and forces Lowe to pay up, very normal move.

                  Hemsky is a UFA in 3 seasons, not 5.

                    Take out Morris and throw in Rafalski or something, then I'd probably do this deal.

                      Why 3?

                        Contract extensions and Rafalski would have to be involved for Lowe to do that deal.

                            He'll have 7 seasons of service in 3 seasons.

                            He currently has 4 (2 prior the lockout, the lockout, and this past season).

                            Under the new CBA you're unrestricted at 7 years of service or age 27.. whichever comes first.

                            Stoll will also be a UFA in 3 seasons, and Lupul in 4.

                              No way in the world does that trade happen. There are about a hundred reasons I can think of......
