(Edmonton, AB) - Edmonton Oilers Edmonton Oilers Prospect Draft Report
With camp about to begin, Oilers GM Will Cornell has already made the move of the season sending LeCavalier to Phoenix for David Legwand. This further decreases the Oil's pro-payroll.
In addition to Legwand, the Oilers aquired the Coyotes' first round pick in the prospect draft. on top of that, the Coyotes were forced to dole out a whopping $12, 000, 000. When asked for comment, GM Cornell said,
"We're stronger now than we've ever been. With camp around the corner, we have an inflated bankroll, a forward with some real-game instensity in David, and the prospect draft couldn't have gone better for us."
GM Cornell is referring to the snapping up of Corey Perry with their first pick. The Phoenix pick was used to pick up Cam Barker. 3rd for the Oil was occupied by goaltending sensation Devan Dubnyk. Roman Voloshenko, Hugh Jessiman and Boris Valabik rounded out the first 5 rounds of the snake draft.
"We can expect to see those guys real soon"
