No one can say Chiarelli didn’t try. Seems Bruins wanted more from Edm. Similar to Van and Schneider deal in 2013. https://t.co/5Z1DsTEkZ0

Yes, pressure on Chiarelli to land D-man and upgrade blue line. Only thing worse than coming away empty is getting hosed to fill those needs

LRT: If @HackswithHaggs‘ source is correct (and I believe he is) that’s unconscionable stupidity on the part of the #Bruins.

Oh, those Bruins.

#oilers Peter Chiarelli confirmed to #tvasports he was right in the middle of the Dougie Hamilton derby.

Word from @JasonGregor and @TSNRyanRishaug is Chiarelli and Wilson chatting on draft floor. 16th pick for Brent Burns? I’d do it.

CONGRATS, DALLAS EAKINS!
Eakins said he’s learned from Oilers HC experience. “I believe I’m 10 times the coach now than I was when I came out of Toronto.”
— Eric Stephens (@icemancometh) June 26, 2015
Eakins on Oilers’ youngsters as whole: “They’re going to be a dynamic group at some point. With every year, they’re getting there.”

#Oilers were in on Hamilton but Bruins went with Calgary. Will the wheeling and dealing continue? One hour to go…

Chiarelli and Sather just broke from another discussion. Slats now meeting with his group. Has to be about Talbot.

WOW! John Shannon speculates perhaps Tuukka Rask could be headed to EDM. Now THAT would be enough to wipe this perma-smirk off my face.
