I don't think he'll be better than Gagner, but it certainly is a good move by the Oilers. Got some really good young players.

Interesting deal here - two guys in desperate need of a change in scenery, we won't be able to tell who won this deal until the end of next season.

Torres is a bum who's capable of soooooo much more. He's had two real brutal seasons so far, although injuries obviously played a part this year. But I haven't seen anything close to the Rafi Torres we saw during the '06 run since then.

I think Brule still has the potential to be a star in this league - he was going no where fast in Columbus, and like other Canuck fans, I was hoping to see the Canucks make a major play for him and bring him back to Vancouver.

If I were an Oilers fan, I'd be pretty happy with this deal. Brule may be on the smaller side, but he's got some spunk to him.

Brule is still very young so it's not horrible for Edmonton.
