According to TSN "The Dustin Penner era in Edmonton is over."
The Oilers have pulled the trigger on a major deal, sending F Dustin Penner to LA for D Colten Teubert, the Kings First Round Pick in 2011 and a Conditional Pick in 2012.
So before we all go out and immediately purchase Colten Teubert jerseys, hats and collectible stamps let’s take a summary look at who we are dealing with here. Remember that this is only the start of commentary that will "dig deep" and "find the real truth."

WHAT DID THE OIL GET?

Colten Teubert is a 6 foot 4 inch D man whom the Kings took 13th overall back in the 2008 draft. He is currently playing for Manchester in the AHL. Hmm.
Oooh! And he played for the Pats. And he has a Silver and Gold medal in the World Juniors. That’s something ain’t it?

REMEMBERING DUSTIN PENNER

Remember the fun we used to all have calling Penner a big blob of donair meat back in 2008 when he was underperforming on his massive contract? Remember how he has shoved it up our collective back side every year since?
We never quite knew what to make of ol’ DP, but it is clear that in going to LA and joining Smyth, Stoll and Greene he won’t lack for former Oilers Alumni to show him around the beaches of California if he cannot recall his time in Anaheim.
This trade is sure going to leave a massive hole in the goal scoring corps, a rather timid bunch to begin with. But on the other hand the Oilers have hella cap space to do something, if "doing something" is ever in the cards.
