I don't know much about Pitkanen, despite the fact that he played in Philly, but I hope he turns out to be the answer to the Canes defensive woes. I will hate it if we gave up Cole and this doesn't pan out.

My opinion of Pitkanen is flashes of brilliance but mostly doesn't put in the effort. He's the type of guy in school who never had to study but got A's and then when he goes off to University or College doesn't have the work ethic needed to excel in the big time. Doesn't mean he isn't smart or a great hockey player it's that he won't put in the effort to go to the next level. Maybe getting traded again will wake him up. From what I hear it was the same story in Philly.

ETA:
I'm looking forward to seeing what Cole can do on the team. Oilers love a gritty, hard-working guy.

I hate to admit it, but I haven't kept up with the Oiler's at all this year. Just the recent publicity about Katz buying the team. Man, does he have an amazing house on the river valley! Have you been in it Bubba-Jo-Lynn?

No, can't say that I have. I didn't even know we had a billionare living in Edmonton until he put the offer in for the Oilers last year. I'm really looking forward to having a single owner of the team with loads of money behind him will mean to the Oilers and the city. Hopefully we get the new arena built within the next 5-10 years cause that will be awesome. I don't even care where they build it; downtown or wherever just build it and we will come.
