Absence makes the heart grow fonder

It didn't really sink in until last night.

I was at a random house party, and there were a lot of boys standing there drinking their beers in deep discussion. There would be the occasional shouting match, much disagreement, and lots of emotion. They were even resorting to asking the magic 8-ball questions to predict the future.

It made me smile.

Hockey is back.

Now so long as the Oilers get an awesome forward and don't waste money on getting Messier, this season will rock.

But they have already traded York for Peca!!!

York is one of their top players I'm already concerned.

I don't think they will go for Messier. They can't afford him with signing Pronger for 5 years.

They really do need a power scorer. I know they were contemplating Kariya, but there are other (better) options.

I think a goalie is necessary as well

The Oilers made some improvement, but trading a Center for a Center and 3(!!) Dmen for one very good D man doesn't address all the issues they have. They're still a scoring center, solid #1 goalie and some defensive depth away from being a pretty good team.
