Maybe this wasn't to clear room for an imminent trade, but simply to give them some breathing room just in case for the future.
So erm
Yakupov RNH Hemsky
Perron Arcobello Jones
Eager Gordon Pitlick
Gazdic Acton blank
SJ now saying that they would not trade Mike Brown for Yakupov.
Edit: haha I see someone beat me to the punch on this one.
I'll feel a lot better once Gagner and Joensuu are back.
Brown was a borderline NHL player. Getting a 4th for him was solid.
MacT also just freed up a contract...I would expect more moves.
Wasn't it just last year that everyone loved Brown and the energy, aggression and hustle he brought to the Oilers...Wow things change fast around here! Is Mac T ever going to make those bold moves, he is starting to be all talk and no action AND the Oilers still suck.
meh.
But it does clear a much needed contract, get's MacT another mid round pick, and clears up a body in a logjam at enforcer. Brown at most could have played 8 minutes regularly for the Oilers on an Eakins team. Gazdic is more of a heavyweight and they must feel just as effective a player.

Am I the only one that thinks Perron looks stupid with that tinted visor?
Yes. RT @mcurtola: @SportsnetSpec u think something's cooking with another deal for oilers! ?
From Mark Spector...

No. Does anyone know if he wears it for a specific reason?
