OILERS, NOT SENATORS CLAIM NEDVED

I am suprised by this. GM Lowe had this to say:

"We liked the way he played for us last time he was here,"Lowe told The Canadian Press. "We're adding some depth up the middle. He was a good fit last time and we think he can help us out again."

In 21 games this season, Nedved has one goal, seven points and is a minus 20. The 35-year-old, comes at half of his $2.356 million price tag.
This is Nedved's 2nd stint with the Oilers. His previous tour of duty with Edmonton was in the 03/04 season, where he only played 16 games, and had 15 points.
Are we going to see a Hemsky-Sykora-Nedved Czech line?
Are the Oiler fans going to like this signing? I would guess not. Especially not when Nedved only has 1 goal and 7 points in 21 games with the Flyers this season.

They sent down Thoreson to make room for Nedved on the roster, which is unfortunate.

Perhaps if they can talk Geoff Courtnall and Greg Adams out of retirement, Nedved will have a 30 goal year like he did in '93

:-)

I still don't get why they haven't called up Robbie Schremp. I'd rather have him playing than acquiring a heartless dud like Nedved.
Oh no, Nedved in Vancouver was a bad thing wasn't it?

"Heartless dud" sums up Nedved perfectly. I thought he was awesome for a few years with the Penguins, and although he put up some good numbers with the Rangers, I actually began to like him less and less. And his play recently is atrocious. I would avoid him like the plague.
