Just read on Staples that the Emberson addition has a bit of wrinkle.. Emberson played for the Hartford Wolfpack (NYR farm team) while Knoblach was Head Coach.. Hmmmm .. things got more interesting..
Maybe Knoblach has some insight on the kid?
I also take back my first impressions of him.. he played over 18 minutes a night for SJ and was only a -4 on the worst team in the league..

It's a pretty reasonable assumption that we wouldn't get back a player who was on the edge of the NHL, especially a young RHD. I don't quite understand what Grier was thinking. You'd think if they were watching the playoffs, they would have concerns about what Ceci can actually bring at this stage. They know the Oilers need help and they take his entire cap hit...but they'll be lucky if the 3rd rounder they got is as good as Emberson in the end.
I guess the argument is that they have a full-time RHD for this season, while we have a guy who may or may not be in the minors, but I don't even know if that assumption holds true. Emberson could be better than Ceci this year - it's not a high bar to clear.
FWIW, if I'm a GM, I'm palling around with all these newer GMs, especially the former players - Grier, Guerin, Staios, Adams...these guys are all primed to make a bunch of mistakes, and I would love to see us help them do it.
As for the Oilers - yesterday's moves would seem to signal that Holloway is gone, and Broberg retained, but that's still not the ideal scenario for us, with Broberg consigned to play his off-side all year, or to be the third LHD at $4.5MM. Maybe there's another shoe yet to drop. Would seem to be an almost ideal time to go shopping - can use the offer sheet as an excuse to talk to teams about a middle pairing RHD and tell them that the second you sign the offer sheet, your ability to do a deal goes down, and with it declines their market for that player...
