Sheldon Souray

Recommended Posts

Sources tell TSN Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini has a list of at least six teams Sheldon Souray would waive his no-trade clause to join, assuming one of these teams is willing to accept the gamble presented in Souray's surgically-repaired hand.

Anaheim, Dallas and the Los Angeles Kings are listed as the three Western Conference teams on Souray's wish list, while somewhat surprisingly, the Eastern Conference is well represented as well in Washington, Philadelphia and the New York Rangers.

It's believed Souray, who had surgery on Tuesday to correct the damage sustained in a fight with Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla on Saturday, has every intention of returning to the ice before the end of the regular season and expects to be playoff-ready.

Souray is among several Edmonton players who remain on the trade market, but team sources say it's doubtful a deal will be made before the February 12th roster freeze.

Thanks for posting that. Very interesting list of teams. I pray he doesn't end up with the Flyers (a team I CAN'T STAND) I'd rather he stay out west (even if it means we don't get to see him much).

Miss his slapshot on the ice...miss his heart and personality off the ice. :(

I feel bad for souray...we shouldve kept him

Came down to resigning him or Markov if i'm correct? Or am I mistaking Souray for Streit?

At least we're pressuring them rather then them pressuring us....for now?

I think it was him or streit

streit left us at the end of 2007-2008 and souray left us after the 2006-2007 season

I almost cried (not kidding) when I learned souray left

he was my fave player...man that shot was sick

I think your right, I would taken Markov any day of the week over Souray ;)

Just look how many Souray's we've found to replace him each season.

Lol, well when you put it that way....you're right, i'd rather have Gill's many minor screw ups rather than Souray's constant poor defensive plays that always resulted in goals for the opposition <_<

hell yeah IMO

remember this???

yeah but then we'd have a 6 million dollar injury-prone dman who is past his prime...souray isnt worth what hes being paid...hes got a shot and thats it...should mab get 6 million dollars...i think not...the only guy we should have kept was striet...cause we could have got him for 3/4 million...

I think he could have settled for less with the habs...he fit in perfectly with markov on the PP

and 26 goals with 19 on the PP and a career high 64 points is not what I call past his prime

that was in 06/07 dude...since then hes had 10points, 53 points and 13 this season...is that what a 6million dollar player should be putting up?...hes not that great defensively...even if he took 5 million thats another hammer on our hands...not worth it

dude that has happened to almost every d-man

and also...its spezza

Yah but he looks so clueless as to what happened :(

Either way, there's no denying that Souray was lacking major defensive skills...He was all offense, and that can be replaced.

ok but he was FAR from past his prime he was coming from his best season

and the only reason he is playing bad with the oilers is because their team is horrible

I never said anything about him being past his prime :huh:

That was the other guy that said that, not me lol...but yah, i agree with you. He can still be a 50+ point Dman.

yes with edmonton2007-2008 he played only 26 games so 10 points isnt THAT bad

50 points is good for last year

and this year, 13 points in 37 games with such a horrible team

the oilers are a bad team...if he was in washington he would be having 60+ point seasons playing with green, ovechkin, backstrom etc.

in pittsburgh he would have letang, gonchar

in montreal he would have markov, hamrlik

in edmonton he had/has grebeshkov, smid and whitney

striet is on a horrible team and he's kept his numbers pretty decent...56 last year and 36 to date this year...i just think that souray isnt the souray we had in mtl...

no because he wouldnt be getting the ice time that would allow him to put up 60+ points...they have younger better dmen...its my opinon you dont have to agree with it

also 3 seasons with edmonton...2 injury filled seasons...

I agree, but he can be that souray again if used properly. He's still not doing THAT bad overall, souray had 53 points last year, including 23 goals. This season; however, 13 points in 39 games and -19 lol.
