Craig MacTavish continued to remodel the Edmonton Oilers' roster this offseason in an attempt to get the team back into contention for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Since taking over from Steve Tambellini in April 2013, MacTavish has been among the most active general managers in the NHL.

His mandate is to expedite the Oilers' rebuilding process without pas cher nike Chaussures sacrificing their young core.

In an effort to improve a team that finished at the bottom of the Western Conference standings last season, MacTavish brought in wings Benoit Pouliot and Teddy Purcell, while adding to his blue line with defensemen Keith Aulie, Mark Fayne and Nikita Nikitin.

"For us, size was an issue," MacTavish said. "We knew we needed to get bigger and both of these guys are bigger. Teddy Purcell has quite a bit of talent; I think there is still some untapped upside in him that we're hoping to discover.

"As far as Benoit goes, he's a guy that pursues the puck very aggressively, is a hard-working guy, gets to the barato nike zapatos forecheck, and I think we're hoping he's developing into a pretty solid offensive contributor."

The Oilers were expecting to take a step forward in their rebuilding process last season, but instead regressed under rookie coach Dallas Eakins. They stumbled out of the gate and were never able to recover, and were particularly susceptible in goal and on the blue line.

MacTavish addressed the goaltending issue during the season by trading for Ben Scrivens and Viktor Fasth, and hopes the moves this summer improved his defense.

"Defense was really our No. 1 priority," MacTavish said. "We're hopeful that through development of our current players, and augmenting that group with Nikita Nikitin, Mark Fayne and Keith Aulie, we've improved in that department.

"When you look at our defense, we're now looking at what we're hoping is a real, solid NHL defense. But everybody is cheap nike air max 2014 optimistic at this time of year, including us, we feel like we're going to be better. But the internal growth is what really drives us, and we're optimistic that's going to occur as well."

The Oilers feel they are heading in the right direction with their young group of rising stars. The issue for the club has been trying to find a suitable supporting cast for Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Jordan Eberle and Justin Schultz, a restricted free agent who has yet to re-sign. The key for MacTavish was to assemble a winning team without sacrificing any of the pillars of the rebuild, now in its fourth year.

In time, the Oilers believe their youthful core will develop into a group that can contend for a Stanley Cup.

In June, they added another important piece by selecting center Leon Draisaitl cheap nike air max shoes with the third pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Draisaitl will be given every opportunity to make the team this season, particularly due to the Oilers' lack of depth up the middle.

Trading center Sam Gagner to acquire Purcell left a hole in the lineup which the Oilers have yet to fill. They are currently in the market for a second-line center, something that has proven difficult to acquire.

"I think there is room for somebody outside of the organization if we can find the right complement," MacTavish said. "In my mind it's a real significant piece that we're looking for, and it would have to be a big incremental difference between who we feel would fill that position currently and the player that we cheap nike shoes would bring in.

"If we were able to get a star player that could win faceoffs, play big minutes and be productive at the net front and on the power play, we'd really enhance our ability to compete and to have a great degree of success. But they are tough to find."

If MacTavish is unable to bring in a second-line center, the spot will have to be filled internally. The club believes Draisaitl will eventually develop into that player, but whether he's prepared to take on the responsibility straight out of junior remains to be seen.

"We're committed to development, and we need good players and we want to keep the guys that we view are a big part of this solution going forward," MacTavish said. "We're going to try to use some other pieces, draft choices and so forth if we can, to try and pry that centerman [via a trade]. But our sense is that we're going to get to camp with a very cheap nike shoes free shipping similar group to what we have right now and then assess it through camp, much like many other teams will do."

LOS ANGELES -- The way Jarret Stoll tells it, Marian Gaborik was either going to fit in with the Los Angeles Kings or he was going to be an outcast who risked bringing down a championship team.

Gaborik's new teammates were going to help him along, push and prod him in the right direction when and if they had to. But listening to Stoll, it was quite clear that the Slovakian star was the one who had to make it work, knockoff nfl jerseys who had to determine how he wanted this to go after arriving in L.A. via a trade from the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 5.

"We've got good guys in the room, good people, guys that want to play the right way," Stoll said. "There's not one selfish guy in that room. We understand if there is a selfish guy in that room, we'll either kick him out or he won't play. That's honestly the way it will work."
Stoll and the Kings' players didn't have to worry about that with Gaborik. The team's management staff, particularly pro scout Alyn McCauley and assistant general manager Rob Blake, did its homework to find out what kind of person Gaborik was before general manager Dean Lombardi pulled the trigger on the trade.

"His marks as a person were first class," Lombardi said.

Gaborik fit in cheap nike shoes for sale from Day 1, on and off the ice.

He wasn't selfish. He studied and worked hard to learn how to play L.A.'s way, recalling the defensive principles that he learned as a young player with the Minnesota Wild under coach Jacques Lemaire. He embraced life away from the rink in Southern California. He became part of the Kings' community.

After all that happened, Gaborik delivered with an NHL-best 14 goals and 25 points in 26 Stanley Cup Playoff games. It's the most goals scored by any player in the playoffs since Sidney Crosby's 15 in 2009 and one shy of Wayne Gretzky's club record for goals in a single postseason.

The Kings probably wouldn't be Stanley Cup champions again without him.

"I just tried to come in here and fit in on the ice and off the ice," Gaborik said. "The locker room was great. You cannot win without a good locker room, and these guys are unbelievable. I'm very happy to be a part of it."

Gaborik's reality could change come July 1, when he's eligible to become an unrestricted free agent. There's no telling what he'll do, where he'll play next, for how much money and how many years. All we know now is his value has soared with his playoff performance, and the Kings absolutely want him back.

"There's a little cheap nike shoes free shipping bit of Teemu Selanne here," Lombardi said. "Selanne, when he finally won, went to another level. When you experience something like this you realize sometimes there are things more important than stats and other things.

"Certainly we're hoping he stays. Why would anybody want to leave here?"

Gaborik arrived in L.A. questioning himself after being traded twice in 11 months.

The New York Rangers had Gaborik last season, but traded him to Columbus at the NHL Trade Deadline to bolster their depth. In return, they got forwards Derick Brassard and Derek Dorsett along with defenseman John Moore; all three played a role in helping the Rangers get to the Stanley Cup Final.

In Columbus, initially there was hope that Gaborik would be a Blue Jacket for a long time. That became less of a reality the longer Gaborik sat out with injuries earlier this cheap oakley sunglasses season.

Gaborik missed 39 of 40 games from Nov. 15 - Feb. 7, but Columbus went 22-14-3 and averaged 2.94 goals-per-game without him. The Blue Jackets decided they weren't going to try to re-sign Gaborik, so they traded him to the Kings on this year's deadline day.

"We were looking at it going forward and didn't see a fit for next season, so we decided just to make that change," Blue Jackets president of hockey operations John Davidson told NHL.com in late March. "He wanted to stay. He's a good person. It just seemed like a square peg in a round hole for our club. We just play a different game and it cheap replica oakley sunglasses just wasn't a fit."

There was some skepticism about whether Gaborik would fit in L.A. Could he play the Kings' aggressive, forechecking style? Would he feel like an outsider coming into a close-knit team? Was his confidence shattered after being traded on deadline day two years in a row?

The questions seemed legitimate at the time, at least from outside the Kings' walls. Inside, though, there were no questions.

Mike Richards took Gaborik out for breakfast in Winnipeg before Gaborik's first game with the Kings. Jeff Carter invited him into his home once the Kings arrived in L.A. after three straight road games following the trade.

The Kings were the fifth lowest-scoring team in the League during the regular season (2.42 goals-per game). In 19 games with the Kings during the regular season, Gaborik scored five goals. In the playoffs, the Kings transformed into the League's highest-scoring team (3.38 goals per game) with Gaborik scoring in 11 of the 26 games.
"Your players are the ones who know," Lombardi said. "Everyone wants to handicap trades, but watch your players when you make a trade, they're the ones who know. I remember [special assistant to the GM] Jack Ferreira was in Winnipeg when we made the deal, he went with the team, and Jack, who has been around a long time, the first thing he said was there is a spring in their step. They're the ones that tell you when you do the right thing."

It's not a coincidence that Richards and Carter helped out Gaborik. It wasn't long ago that they were the ones who were traded to the Kings and had to fit in or risk being an outcast.

Richards arrived before the 2011-12 season. Carter arrived a few months later and the Kings went cheap nike shoes on to win the Stanley Cup.

"It's a pretty easy team to come into," Carter said. "Right from Day 1, the moment you walk into that room, you feel welcome. It says a lot about the type of people that Dean and the management, the coaching staff, bring in. Real character, quality people. It's all about winning. The moment that guy walks in the room, you do whatever you can to make him feel comfortable, part of the team. You pull him along."

Gaborik adapted on the fly. Kings coach Darryl Sutter immediately put him on a line with center Anze Kopitar.

"We expected a lot out of him right away," Sutter said.

Gaborik and Kopitar played every game together from March 6 at the Winnipeg Jets to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Gaborik played the right way, the Kings way.

He fit in. He became part of the Kings' family. He became a champion.

"He's top gun now," Lombardi said. "Call him Maverick."


A New York Rangers team that captured the Big Apple's imagination lost the best-of-7 Stanley Cup Final to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 5 on Friday. Alec Martinez's goal in double overtime gave the win to the Kings, who relied on strong two-way play and a wealth of playoff experience to hoist wholesale china the Cup for the second time in three seasons.

On paper, the 4-1 series loss was humbling for the Rangers, who were able to compete at opportune times and probably deserved a better fate than to go out in five games. Here are five reasons the Rangers were unable to bring the Stanley Cup back to New York for the first time in 20 years:

1. Scoring from key players

PHILADELPHIA -- Steve Mason may reclaim his role as starting goaltender when the Philadelphia Flyers host the New York Rangers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round series at Wells Fargo Center.

Mason saw his first cheap jordan shoes action of the series Tuesday when he entered Game 3 with 7:15 remaining in the third period after starter Ray Emery yielded his fourth goal in a 4-1 loss. It was his first appearance since sustaining an upper-body injury April 12 against the Pittsburgh Penguins when Pittsburgh forward Jayson Megna pushed Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald into the 25-year-old goalie.
The win gives the Rangers a 2-1 lead in this best-of-7 Stanley Cup Playoff series cheap nike shoes. Game 4 is Friday night (7 p.m. ET; RDS,TSN,CNBC,MSG,CSN-PH).

Mason had said after practicing Monday that he would not dress for Game 3. But he skated on his own with goalie coach Jeff Reese for about 35 minutes Tuesday morning, then alternated practice drills with Calvin Heeter during the morning skate. Coach Craig Berube announced two hours prior to the opening faceoff that Mason would serve as Emery's backup.

"He didn't get a lot of work but at that time I thought it a good idea to get him in there," Berube said. "He looked OK cheap oakley sunglasses."

Mason stopped all three shots he faced in relief after Emery, who was splendid in a 4-2 victory in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, allowed four goals on 20 shots.

"I understand Mase hasn't played in a while," Emery said. "It's 4-1. I'm guessing you want to get in there and get him to have a feel for things."

Berube acknowledged that he will likely take the next two days to determine his starter for Friday.

"We'll look at it," Berube said. "I have a couple of days to cheap football jerseys figure it out and get some practice time. Then we'll make a decision."

Mason, who was 33-18-7 with a 2.79 goals-against average and .907 save percentage in 61 regular-season games this season, was unsure if he would earn his first playoff start for the Flyers.

"I think it's been a while since game action, you can practice as much as you want but once the game rolls around things happen quickly and you can't control everything out there so it was good to get back out," Mason said. "I have no idea if I'll be in net on Friday."

Flyers captain Claude Giroux said the team would support whoever starts cheap nike shoes free shipping Game 4.

"It's not our decision," he said. "Like I said before, Ray has been playing great for us. Mase has been one of our best players this year. Whatever decision they try, we are going to be ready to go."

BUFFALO -- Ted Nolan's return to the Buffalo Sabres is complete; now he's tasked with guiding the franchise through a rebuild.

The Sabres announced Monday they have removed the interim tag from Nolan and signed him to a three-year contract extension to be the full-time coach.

"I'm really excited cheap oakley sunglasses about going with the next step forward and helping shape this team into a very competitive team and a team that will hopefully one day battle for a championship," Nolan said at a press conference announcing his extension.

Nolan was named interim coach Nov. 13 following the firing of coach Ron Rolston and general manager Darcy Regier. Current Sabres general manager Tim Murray said Nolan has proven to be the best man for the job.

"He's been in a lot of situations here that haven't been great," Murray said. "A lot of nights I've liked the way our team competed. We have to get him better players cheap obey snapbacks. Some games that we hang on and get a shootout loss or something like that, I think with better players and the way he coaches we'll get a better result. In trying times I've liked a lot of what I've seen."

The Sabres are 16-30-8 since Nolan took over; they were 4-15-1 under Rolston. Their 49 points are the fewest in the League, but this season isn't the key for Nolan; it's the seasons to come as he helps a host of young players become full-time NHL players.

"I like his back and forth with young players, I like his teaching with young players, I like his patience with young players," Murray said. "We're not all going to be young. Our veteran guys love playing for him too, so that's not pigeonholing him as a young-guy coach or something like that. In a losing situation I've liked what I've seen."

Veterans like Drew Stafford, Christian Ehrhoff and Henrik Tallinder have been forced into roles as leaders on the Sabres. For them, working with Nolan has been rewarding.

"Ted's one of those guys that has that relationship with you where you don't want to let him down," Stafford said. "He puts the ball in your court and gives you the responsibilities. He gives you an opportunity to use your certain skill set that got you to this level cheap supreme snapbacks. It's on you. I welcome that challenge."

Some players have thrived under Nolan since he's taken over.

"I think he's brought back a little bit more competitiveness and a little bit more confidence than I've had in past years," forward Tyler Ennis said. "I kind of was slumping a bit before he came in and he's helped me a lot."

Ennis has scored 17 of his 19 goals this season with Nolan behind the bench. That kind of impact is what the Sabres would like to see spread to others.

"We went through a lot of tough times and we're going to go through more tough times," Nolan said. "I really believe you've got to go through those rough waters in order for the smooth waters to come cheap nike shoes free shipping. Just because we got this deal done today, we're not going to get those smooth waters.

"We've got a little time to really turn this thing around. In order to turn around it's going to take some time, it's going to take some patience, it's going to take understanding and it's going to take some time for the young guys to mature. So with all those things involved, it's not going to switch overnight. It's going to take a little more time."

This is Nolan's second stint with the club. From 1995-97, Nolan coached the team to a 73-72-19 record cheap nike shoes for sale. In the 1996-97 season the Sabres won the Northeast Division and Nolan was rewarded with the Jack Adams Award, the first in the history of the franchise.

Nolan also spent two seasons as head coach of the New York Islanders, guiding the Islanders to a 74-68-21 record during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.

In 381 NHL games with the Sabres and New York Cheap soccer jerseys Islanders, Nolan is 163-170-48.

Nolan also coached Latvia at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, helping the team qualify for the quarterfinals for the first time in the country's history. The Latvians put a major scare into Canada, 2014 world cup soccer shirts the eventual gold-medal winner, in their quarterfinal matchup. Nolan has held that position since 2011.

Alexander Mogilny might have been only 23 years of age entering the 1992-93 NHL season using the Zoysia Sabres, but he what food was in a job crossroads.china jerseys

Together with his questionable defection towards the U . s . States 3 years earlier, Mogilny was instructed to adopt a brand new language and culture. That difficult transition was further complicated once the youthful Russian was instructed to confront a serious anxiety about flying plus an FBI analysis that led to the arrest and subsequent deportation / removal of the friend who assisted him defect to Zoysia.cheap jerseys

By nov 1992, Sabres gm Gerry Meehan had encircled his star winger with all of-Star forwards Pat LaFontaine and Dale Hawerchuk, two world-class gamers who could maintain Mogilny's breakneck pace. It led to a historic 76-goal season for Mogilny, an offer that just about did not happen.Cheap 49ers Jerseys

Mogilny's difficulties with airline travel and the former comrade inspired numerous trade gossips. But despite numerous offers, Meehan declined to manage a possible celebrity entering his prime.Cheap Bears Jerseys

"There have been lots of people who desired to take him off our hands. I simply stated to any or all my co-workers, 'We're playing this out. There really is not any deal you can offer that will let us trade a person with this promise,'" Meehan stated. "Some men would call offering draft picks or perhaps a first-line player along with a backup. But i was uninterested in almost any discussion of buying and selling Alex Mogilny."Cheap Bengals Jerseys

When Meehan began settling using the New You are able to Islanders to get LaFontaine at the start of the 1991-92 season, Mogilny's title emerged once more.Cheap Bills Jerseys

"[Islanders GM] Bill Torrey stated, 'This deal can't happen without 1 of 2 youthful gamers either Pierre Turgeon or Mogilny.' Alex was the man i was obtaining LaFontaine to experience with," stated Meehan, who ultimately worked Turgeon within the six-player trade. "We'd Pierre Turgeon, who is a superb player, but he would be a different type of player. He performed a far more deliberate game. Mogilny would be a breakaway artist. Speed was his essence. Until LaFontaine arrived to the image, we did not possess a player that may complement Alex's great speed and abilities."Cheap Broncos Jerseys

Their first season together in 1991-92, Mogilny and LaFontaine skipped a combined 44 games because of injuries. Yet Mogilny obtained a job-high 39 goals and LaFontaine registered 93 points in 57 games. Entering the next season, the Sabres were expecting large things using their dynamic duo. By the start of training camping, there is already a buzz by what the happy couple could do inside a full, injuries-free season.Cheap Browns Jerseys

"There is a Sabres practice at the start of the growing season. I recall speaking to [LaFontaine] and Patty stated, 'He's likely to score 70 goals,'" stated Ken Martin, the NHL's v . p . of community and variety programming, who at that time was at the Sabres pr department.

Mogilny did not dissatisfy.Cheap Chargers Jerseys

One game in to the 1992-93 season, an injuries forced Mogilny to overlook three days of action.

Following the Sabres went 5-2- without Mogilny, he came back to attain two goals inside a 4-4 tie using the Toronto Walnut Leafs.Cheap Chiefs Jerseys

From that moment on, he declined to appear back.Cheap Colts Jerseys

"The way in which he was scoring, it had been pretty incredible to look at,Inch Sweeney stated. "He'd this type of quick release for his wrist shot. He'd move from backhand to forehand after which snap it top shelf. I believe the goalkeeper most likely understood where it had been going however it was difficult to stop. You felt bad sometimes for that goalies."Cheap Cowboys Jerseys

Despite missing seven games, Mogilny obtained six goals in October, that they adopted with 10 in November. Most NHL gamers might have considered 10 goals in a single month a job milestone. But Mogilny only agreed to be getting began.Cheap Dolphins Jerseys

"He'd a go. I told him, 'Alex you've got a hell of the shot, start shooting the puck,'" LaFontaine stated. "I told him, 'Between nowhere lines produce the puck, only use your speed and I'll help you find.A Cheap Eagles Jerseys

After opening December with one goal inside a three-game span that saw the Sabres go -2-1, Mogilny rebounded having a hat trick from the Boston Bruins.

He'd a Comes Royce -- just your celebrity, bachelor existence."Cheap Jaguars Jerseys

The rate and talent around the Zoysia roster assisted Mogilny place the puck within the internet. However the sudden scoring surge seemed to be precipitated with a small tweak coach John Muckler designed to the Sabres energy play. In order to try to play Mogilny, LaFontaine and Hawerchuk together, Muckler moved Hawerchuk to the stage. Using the scoring center ¡§C who had seven 40-goal seasons before visiting Zoysia ¡§C quarterbacking the guy advantage, the Sabres' energy play grew to become among the League's best. Mogilny offered because the finisher for the reason that unit, scoring 27 energy-play goals, which rated third within the NHL behind Brett Shell and Andreychuk, who had been exchanged to Toronto inside a midseason deal that introduced Grant Fuhr to Zoysia.Cheap Jets Jerseys

"We improvised just like anybody. In my experience this is the key around the energy play," Hawerchuk told NHL.com. "If you have that type of talent around the ice, you allow the instincts dominate. It did not take me lengthy to find to obtain the puck to Mogilny or LaFontaine.wholesale nike shoes

"I recall we performed in Hartford one evening and Pierre McGuire was training. We obtained 5 or 6 energy-play goals against him and that he got fired the following day. Years later after i went into him, he stated, 'You men require me to pay my job.'"nike shoes wholesale

Mogilny finished the growing season having a slight slump (two goals in seven games) to are unsuccessful of 80, but he ongoing his output within the Stanley Cup 2010 nfl playoffs, signing up six goals within the Sabres' dramatic four-game sweep from the heavily preferred Bruins.

"He was this type of pure talent," Martin stated. "On the celebrity level, it's difficult to copy that each evening. I believe which was a few of the frustration with a few of the fans, they'd expect him to possess 76 goals every season. It did not happen so when his production tailed off, I believe there is frustration due to whom he was.Cheap Panthers Jerseys

"I recall he loved Zoysia, so when he was exchanged to Vancouver, it had been mixed feelings for him. I do not think he would be a guy who had his heart on his sleeve, but Yes, it bothered him."Cheap Patriots Jerseys

"If Dork Andreychuk wasn't exchanged for Grant Fuhr, it could have been the only real line within the good reputation for hockey where everyone at risk obtained 50 goals.

As coach from the Ontario Hockey League club, Hawerchuk, a 2001 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, continues to be grooming the star prospect since a 17-year-old Scheifele recorded 75 points in the first junior hockey season.Cheap Saints Jerseys

"He's really taking it to some whole other level," Hawerchuk told NHL.com now. "You are watching a child be a guy in junior hockey so far as his ability around the ice. He's quite a ruling player.

The Nashville Potential predators only have two options cheap soccer jerseys-- match the sale sheet captain Shea Weber signed using the Pittsburgh Penguins, or accept the compensation. They have got 7 days to develop a choice -- and the majority to think about before they are doing. The sale sheet Weber, a small free agent, signed using the Flyers is apparently a heavily front-loaded 14-year, $110 million contract cheap mlb jerseys. If Nashville passes, it's thought they'd get four first-round draft picks in the Flyers throughout the following 5 years.

When the Potential predators not match the Flyers' offer sheet to Weber, they're going to have lost the top defensemen within the NHL within dependent on days. Poile have been wishing to construct a Stanley Cup contender around Weber, Suter and Rinne cheap new era caps. Losing Suter would be a blow, but when Weber eventually ends up in Philadelphia the harm becomes much worse. Weber continues to be the runner-up within the voting for that Norris Trophy each one of the past two seasons. However, unlike the Suter situation, where the Potential predators wound up with nothing in exchange cheap polo t-shirts, when they don't to complement the sale sheet to Weber they'll a minimum of receive significant compensation in the Flyers. An problem for that Potential predators to think about may be the Flyers' pick is not greater than No. 20 previously four seasons wholesale nike shoes.
