Rumor: Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread XXV: Season over. Still waiting to begin...

[Auguste McEscoffier]

Whenever I see a post with a quote from twitter, I get excited like a dog having an entire field to itself.

According to one source close to the organization, the Oilers are closing in on a deal involving Horcoff and "several others pieces will be swapped" as part of a trade.

I just watched the McKenzie segment on NHL network and nothing was said about Gagner at all.

US NHL Network or Canadian NHL Network?

Meh, they're usually not that reliable are they?

TFP and David Pagnotta have a history of just copying whatever the first guy reported. I don't consider them credible.

Im gonna guess Detroit is out of that equation with the Lecavalier chatter.

 

[Usual_Suspect]

More from the TFP link

Several teams, including the Detroit Red Wings, New York Islanders, New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators, are believed to be shown interest in Hemsky.
Contract negotiations between the Oilers and Gagner's agent have been moving forward, but TFP has learned a deal is not close and a trade could be on the horizon.
MacTavish has received a lot of interest in Gagner, but the Oilers are set on upgrading their blueline and would require a top-young blueliner as part of any deal for Gagner.

I'm getting starved for rumours...

I want to see more trades and action!

Until something goes down...

Brad May on Hockey Central stated no way Vinnie goes to a Canadian team.

 

[Jean Ralphio]

US NHL Network or Canadian NHL Network?

I think they are basically the same channel, with very similar programming. NHL Tonight (the show in which McKenzie appeared on) for sure is the same in both countries.
And I can corroborate what Joey Moss said, no mention of Gagner, or the Oilers for that matter.

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Brad May is reporting that Lecavalier doesn't want to sign anywhere in Canada.

Call me petty but I'd seriously ban guys like this from representing Canada at international events. For life. Seriously. The guy's options are probably limited with the salary that he wants (reportedly 5 million per) and he rules out 7 options?

EDIT: It's not likely that Vinnie will get an invite for the Olympics ever again anyway.

 

[Joey Moss]

US NHL Network or Canadian NHL Network?

It's US.. Didn't hear a peep about the Oilers at all.

 

[Groucho]

So this NTC is made up?

Has anybody bothered to tweet at Mackenzie to ask him if he said that ?

100% agreed.

Honestly, I don't really want him. I amazed so many wnat his lazy injury prone ass instead of a guy like Brad Richards.

Yup I think Nash also said he doesn't want to play in Canada either. Canadians who don't want to play in their country but want to represent them? Makes no sense and I hope they never play for Canada again.

[CanadianSuperPromise]

What's up with this new Canada hate? It's probably because the lazy morons want to continue playing like garbage without being held accountable by the fans and media.

 

[Tarus]

Not a surprise.

He made it known years ago when there were all the rumors that Montreal wanted to trade for him that he had zero interest in playing in Canada.

You sure it doesn't have to do anything with income tax?

I know they pay next to zero for income tax in FLA....

Yeah, that was the one I watched.

Okay, so then he's given himself one option: The Panthers.

After Florida, Texas and Tennessee, Alberta has the next lowest taxes out of all of the NHL States/Provinces
