--So Khabibulins trial starts today. Now we will soon see what becomes of our starting goalie. Ill be keeping a close eye on that. If he goes to jail for longer than the 30 days, I wonder if the Oilers wont still wash their hands of him. ***edit*** I found here that Extreme DUI in Arizona isnt as bad as originally reported. Khabi should face no more than the min 30 days if convicted.
-- The development camp started yesterday. Everyone seems excited about the young prospects coming up. And for good reason. It isnt too often that there is so many bright spots to watch for. I imagine we will see all three of Eberle, Hall, and MPS playing on the big club next season. Who knows there may be a possibility of one or two more.
-- There is reason to believe that Bucky will no longer be behind the bench. Several people had speculated that this may be the case when the coaching staff was changed over again. I for one like the idea. True, the Oilers want some tradition there. But Bucky is not the right choice for a coach. Maybe he will make a good skate sharpener if they insist on keeping him in the fold.
-- The Oilers have yet to fill a couple more crucial holes in the lineup. Considering they still have not been able to trade Souray, maybe they open their horizons to more types of players to replace him. Understandable that they would want another top 4 D-man as a replacement, but by the looks of things it isnt going to happen. Time to find something else to help the team now.

-- Lastly, this is the last post I will most likely be putting up before the 19th. I will be in B.C. for 10 days as of tomorrow enjoying a very long awaited vacation. I will have my laptop with me, so who knows if any major news pops up and I manage to catch wind of it I may be persuaded to put something up. But for the most part I will be doing nothing more than twitter updates.
Enjoy the summer people. I know I will.
