I think most Edmontonians could give you 5 names for next season’s team and identify several “targets” for the NHL team. Why? How? It’s always been this way.

Clik here to view.
If I mentioned the following names, how many would be familiar to you (as possible Oiler options).
- D Mark Streit
- L RJ Umberger
- C Curtis Lazar
- R Nathan Horton
- C Ryan Johansen
- D Jack Johnson
If I mentioned the following names, how many would be familiar to you (as possible Oilers options for exit)
- C Sam Gagner
- R Ales Hemsky
- D Theo Peckham
- D Nick Schultz
- C Eric Belanger
DO we know these names are in play? If so, how many of the names are actually available and how many are assumed to be? Is there a deal with CBJ for Umberger and Johansen? Perhaps with Gagner as centerpiece?
Interesting names. I keep hearing them. Where are the names coming from? Is it the product of a fanbase with an active imagination? Or, something else?
