Just throwing out a couple names on the Oilers that I like and think are realistic trade targets.

Not sure they fit the style/mold/needs of the team but I'm interested to see what people think...

The Oilers need D-men, size, and defensively responsible forwards. I think we are a good potential trading partner. If we could move any of Grabbo/Mac/Gunnar/AHL guys playing over their heads/Liles/certain prospects I'd be up for it.

Gagner would be a better #1 than Bozak, would be dynamite on the PP and could be the #2 when we get a real #1. Hemsky I'm less interested in but has boatloads of speed/talent but is injury prone.

Lines of could be interesting:

Lupul - Gagner - Kessel
JVR - Bozak - Hemsky
Frattin - Kadri - Kulemin
Orr - Mclement - Komarov

We lose a little defensive mindedness in the trade, but add the potential to score a ton on the PP (not unlike Tampa).

And now you can all cut me to pieces....

Thought I'd start a thread for those of us (although maybe I'm the only one) who have hobbies/are collectors.

I recently got back into collecting cards and comics after looking at my collection from the early 90's.

I mainly have 90-94 upper deck baseball and hockey cards as well as a slew of comics and some cool items (Pat Borders World Series MVP autographed ball, Autographed Alomar Rookie card).

I'm amazed at how cool (and expensive cards are now). The jersey patch cards are very neat and beautiful.

Anybody else collect or have a hobby (my wife's is cross stitch)?
