The Oil will do what's right for the fans.
Nothing, to help turn this team's unpredictably horrendous season around.
There will be trades, mostly to change the culture of the team, which means veteran players beware...your time in Edmonton may soon be over.
Trade is the most 'friendly' way, but it is possible Edmonton will take a far more aggressive approach and bury players in the minors, or wait until the end of the season and buy out contracts, if necessary.
That's a very harsh way to change the culture, but the team you see today will look much different by the end of the summer.
Names like Sheldon Souray, Ethan Moreau, Steve Staios, Fernando Pisani, Robert Nilsson and Andrew Cogliano are familiar to those who closely monitor the trade circles, however with the exception of Cogliano - who many outside of Alberta believe is a mere team change away from being a very good number two centre - most in the group assembled above are a tough sell.
Buffalo is believed to be in the market for a defenceman to help their power play. However, armed with a no-move clause, Souray won't be shuffling off to Buffalo...he just won't.
Good to know that they'll do the right thing and blow this team up. We need to clean house from top to bottom. Really the only guys I want to keep around are Brule, Smid and maybe Hemsky.
