zombiewing 3 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Don't know if this has been previously discussed but does anyone know how much the Oilers are paying Penner? 4.25 million a hefty sticker price for these stats: 73 19 22 41 -10 but, he was a duck, and after some feather-rankling, now he is not. so i imagine that counts for something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are few players in the history of the game that can turn a team in to a champion single handed. Dustin Penner is not in that category. With a supporting cast he can be an important player, but he can't make a team elite. Edited March 18, 2008 by LIDDYGIBBY5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a supporting cast he can be an important player, but he can't make a team elite. Penner is, sadly, a decent value when his output is compared to a lot of other guys who signed contracts last summer. Chris Drury only has 3 more goals and 4 more assists than Penner with a much more talented group of forwards around him. Ryan Smyth missed some games, but his scoring pace is only slightly higher than Penner's (as I said it would be) and he plays with a more offensively skilled squad also.

Naslund/Burtuzzi.... not the Canucks were ever really elite. but those two were pretty dominating before the Steve Moore thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
