Take it for what its worth, but we have a friend who is a reporter for a newspaper in Calgary, and there is a rumor of the following trades involving the Edmonton Oilers:
Glen Murray for Kyle Brodziak and a draft pick.
---- this looks somewhat plausible, would be a salary dump for Boston, Murray plays RW, so does Hemsky, so the fit there isn't ideal. Brodziak is a decent prospect, but Kevin Lowe has given every indication he is willing to move prospects for help now
Ilya Kovalchuk for Matt Greene, Rob Schremp, a 1st round and a 2nd round pick
---- Atlanta apparently has a budget set for around $40 million this year, they are however at $42 million with a couple more players to sign. The Oilers are deep at defense and could afford to move Greene, although he is developing into a Jason Smith type player. In Rob Schremp the Thrashers would get a prospect who has talent to burn, but the knock on him is a poor attitude and work ethic. Shremp is also coming off knee surgery, which could effect the validity of this rumor.
I should also be noted, the majority of "big" player moves the Oilers have made in the last few years have come out of left field (aquiring Peca, Pronger, the offer sheets etc) So i would be skeptical with these rumors.

CFL Week 5 Picks
Sorry for being so late, "real" work has taken over, i must be brief,
Montreal @ Toronto
Look for this to be a close game, maybe even down to a last minute field-goal to decide it.
Our Pick: Toronto 19 Montreal 17
Hamilton @ Winnipeg
Hamilton has been terrible so far this year, and with Winnipeg at home, it should be another long day for the Tabbies. Hopefully Milt finally gets a TD so we can put the record watch to bed.
Our Pick: Winnipeg 27 Hamilton 17
We will have the remaining two games posted shortly, and I apologize again for being so late. Look for more in-depth analysis next week, and we will return to posting the odds and over/under again as well.

More Results CFL Week 4
Well, that makes 3 in a row so far this week.
Edmonton 21 Saskatchewan 20
Our Prediction Edmonton 29 Saskatchewan 27
There was no way the Esks should have been anywhere close in this game, it was 20 to 1 for the 'Riders at the half, but with 20 unanswered points the Esks came back to win it with a field goal in the dying minutes.
On the season so far we are now 10-4-1 with 1 more game this week.

CFL Week 4 Picks
Our picks for Week 4 in the CFL
Winnipeg 2.70@ Montreal 2.00 Over/Under 50.5
Montreal should have dominated Hamilton last week, a 29-20 win shows there may be a few holes that a Winnipeg team may be able to expose. Milt Stegall is poised to break the CFL's all time touchdown record, and should do so this week against the Als.
Our Pick--- Winnipeg 31 Montreal 24
Hamilton 6.25@ B.C. 1.10 Over/Under 48.5
This game has blowout written all over it. Even with the Lions injury problems at QB, Hamilton has not shown any consitency thus far on either side of the football. Hamilton has a chance if they can get a standout game from Maas and Gardner.
Our Pick--- B.C. 35 Hamilton 17
Saskachewn 2.70@ Edmonton 2.00 Over/Under 48.5
The Esks are coming off a big win last week against Winnipeg, look for some momentum to carry forward this week. The return of AJ Gass should help solidify a somewhat inexperienced defence. Saskatchewan had a poor outing last week and are looking to rebound with a win against the Esks. Expect this game to be high scoring but close.
Our Pick--- Edmonton 29 Saskatchewan 27
Toronto 2.70@ Calgary 2.00 Over/Under 48.5
If the last meeting between these two was any indication, this could be a tough week for Calgary. A 48-15 rout by the Argos should leave the Stamps hungry for revenge, and with the injury problems the Argos are facing right now, this one should be a close, fairly low scoring game, with the edge given to Toronto.
Our pick--- Toronto 21 Calgary 14
Results from Week 4 should be up Sunday or Monday with Week 5 CFL picks as well. Currently on the season so far we are 7-4-1 (silly CFL tie)
Best of luck.
