Albertan all-star hockey team. It has come to my attention that Kevin Lowe and the Edmonton Oilers organization don't seem to understand the term "free-agent", and i would be happy to explain to Kevin Lowe how it works. When a player's contract is up, the player may be signed by another team, and the player usually accepts the deal when the player is offered more money from another organization, for example; The witty Edmonton Oilers pursued the 6'1", 195-pound former New York Ranger, and the deal had been nearly finalized, when all of a sudden Michael Nylander made a public announcement on July 2nd that he had signed with the Washington Capitals agreeing to a four-year contract worth 19.5 mil. Afterwards the Edmonton Oilers organization were furious that they could not find any luck in bringing some real play making talent to their line up and state they had Nylander before Washington acquired the forward, yet no lawyers from the Oilers organization could provide any kind of contract details. Michael Nylander would have been a great addition to the Oilers organization playing with F Ales Hemsky. 
Unfortunately for Edmonton they were unable to grasp the Sweden native, but on July 3rd, Edmonton had some light shine into their city when they acquired G Mathieu Garon, agreeing to a 2-year deal Garon will back up Edmonton's beloved goaltender Dwayne Roloson. In Alberta we can also never forget when the Oilers gave away "Captain Canada" for a bag of lays potato chips, a couple prospects and a draft pick, now all of a sudden the Edmonton Oilers have given away all of their leadership when they traded captain Jason Smith and crafty F Joffrey Lupul, for F Geoff Sanderson and the young quick D Joni Pitkanen. Kevin Lowe and the Oilers just keep dragging themselves away from a shot at winning the Stanley cup by ridding of the clubs top 3 scorers Ryan Smyth (31 goals w/Oilers), Petr Sykora (22 goals) and Joffrey Lupul (16 goals) therefore i can officially ask, where the hell is their offense gonna come from now? Well Lowe's wimpy answer to my question would be something along the lines of "It may have been a mistake to ruin all of the Oiler's fans lives by trading away our franchise for a volley ball, but we'll do just fine with our volley ball".
In all fairness there is bright side for the Oilers for they are rebuilding their hockey club for a future Stanley cup chance with their young acquisitions of Allan Rourke, Robert Nilsson and Ryan O'Marra, yet unfortunately for the Oilers they just keep losing more and more hockey fans with each stupid thing they do, and I will always be a Calgary Flames fan ranting about our rival joke of a hockey team, just as long as the Flames are guided by Genius Darryl Sutter. Thank God we have no need to worry, unlike the whiners of Alberta's capital.
