Transplanted Oilers Look Good on the Island
Don’t blame Ryan Smyth for the fact that his new team is just 2-4-2 since he joined them. Smyth has come as advertised – and then some.
Spring(field) Cleaning
One of the worst decisions in the history of minor league management has finally been reversed. With the Tampa Bay Lightning's farm down to little more than a stable, and Falcons management fed up with sub-par prospects, the Edmonton Oilers have finally found a home for their cacophony of kids. So what does this move mean for prospects on both sides? And how does it impact your keeper league?

The leaders have pulled away and this year is over in terms of you winning, so the only logical step is to look ahead to next season. You may begin to ask yourself a bunch of questions.
