Hahaha oh Oilers, not only do you play in a shit hole of a city where barely any players want to go to, now your bush league front office is pissing off other GMs.

Kings GM Dean Lombardi: “Would have rather invested my money with Bernie Madoff than invest in Edmonton’s word”
In the latest development in the Kings/Oilers/Ryan Smyth trade saga, the Kings want further compensation from Edmonton because they were less than truthful about Colin Fraser’s injury. As the story goes (from the Kings’ perspective), they were told that Fraser was mere days away from being medically cleared to play. When Fraser’s foot was checked by LA’s doctors, they found both a cyst on the injured foot and a blood disorder that will cause him to miss the next four months. This is on the heels of Steve Tambellini trying to send the Kings Gilbert Brule—a player who the Kings planned on waiving. The only problem was that Brule hasn’t fully recovered from the concussion he suffered last season; meaning the Kings would be unable to waive him as they had planned. One trade, two players, two shady medical situations.

Kings GM Dean Lombardi:
Two bad about Shirokov, I thought he looked real good in the 2 games he got, especially against Colorado when he actually got put on the 2nd line with other skilled players. But lets face it, he was never going to succeed in Vancouver, AV just never was a big fan of his, and isn't his type of player.
