Actually there was a rumour that Holmström said wings were intrested in Omark. They are from the same club in sweden. But its hearsay rather..

Also Omark is quite good at offensive puck possesion and he isnt turning over the puck as much as most people think. Like Eberle have turned over the puck around 5times this game. People still wouldnt say Eberle has a problem turning over the puck.

Watch Omark do it ONCE this game and people will call him out as a guy that turns over the puck constantly.

Playing in the minors for the wings is different than playing in the minors for the oilers.

Eberle does more things with the puck though. Like being in the top 15 for scoring.

Oh my bad, I thought the Red Wings' minor league team played in the AHL, just like the Oilers' Barons.

You're in a rebuild dude, which means the farm is going to be playing more of an important factor than the past. A good AHL environment is pretty important for a team that is looking to turn the corner with so many young prospects.

Yes, but only the Swedish homers think Omark is right in his comments. If the Oilers tell him to play in the playoffs in the AHL, that's where he should go. It's called an employer/employee relationship.

obviously you dont get it, i think its a bit tougher to crack one of the top teams in NHL than one of the worst, and its obvious Omark has the talent to play in the NHL , but the Oilers have no clue how to develop these guys. Gagner should have progressed a lot more by now, and PRV is gonna be the next flop.

Actually im an oilers fan, right here in edmonton, im just fed up the way this organization is being run, and honestly i could care less how the barons do in the playoffs, if they win or dont win, dont give a rats a$$. I'd rather watch Omark against the kids at the Worlds.

Maybe you didnt know this. But Omark as an employee has a out clause in his contract. Wich means that if he wants to he can break his contract and go play in the wc.
If the clause is still possible, am not sure about the terms.
You know as an unhappy employee he can do that.
Who knows what will happen, Omark will probably and most likely play in the ahl playoff anyway. He was most likely asked what would he rather play wc or ahl playoff and he answered same as he did last year.

Its no big deal except on here..

If i where you wouldnt speak for the fan community! Omark has a out clausul in his contract, so he can bolt to europe, thats the agreement!
Cant see why people care if he play in the ahl playoffs or not, he isnt in the oiler plans. Is it a sort of punishment that he should play there, when he isnt with us next season?

its obvious, is it? who knew. he can't crack a team with the worst 3 year record of the last 2 decades and Tambo's phone wasn't exactly ringing off with other manager's asking for a trade. but it's obvious he has the talent to play in the NHL, huh. He couldn't beat Gagner out of a job.

he is a nifty stickhandler and pretty good on the shootout. that's it. last time i checked the average NHLer brings considerably more then that.

he will not play in the NHL till he develops more to his game.

You can see that Omark isnt happy, his creative and unique style of playing is gone. His two way game is ok and there aren't much give aways anymore. He just wants to leave a poisoness environment and do what he likes best, play hockey in a team that wants him to play. He isn't an OKC player, he is signed by oilers who showed they have no interest in him. He isn't happy and I think its the best for everyone to part ways at this point.

No I get it just fine. Omark can barely play on the Oilers, yet you somehow think he would be thriving on the Red Wings, where he would be playing in the AHL for a long time before even getting a chance to play on the big team.

If there's any soccer fans out there, look at it this way. You're a player in the Barcelona B team who gets a call up once in a while to the A team. Then you get the call from you're national team to play in the Olympic soccer tournament, not a huge tournament but still you wanna represent your country, the player will always go represent their country, and the club usually lets them go with no fuss.
I think it would be better for Omark if he's playing with and against better players than players in the AHL.

Seriously? You give Omark the same amount of opportunity and playing time as Gagner, i can guarantee he has as many points, probably more. He just gets a bad rap cause he doesnt say the right things all the time, i guess thats what you get for speaking your mind once in a while.

why should he feel obligated to do anything at this point when he more than likely has no spot on this team going forward because of our management group? Playing in the playoffs AHL is going to mean squat in the long run.

Because he is under contract by the Oilers and he would want to not look like a prima donna should he want to play anywhere else in the NHL.

Shremp all over again. where is he these days? did the Redwings pick him up... it seems any nifty stickhandler that can't make the Oil would fit right in in Detroit.

What have the Oilers done on their side of the relationship?

The Oilers have invested 4 years in Khabi, Jones, Cogliano. omark has about 60 games, decent production. There is no reason to flush him.

I don't disagree here. I think omark is trying to play more structured hockey. And yes it is killing his creativity. I've seen him dump it in more than I think he would like. Unfortunately, NHL hockey is a lot more structured.

The Oilers already have Hall, PRV, Smyth down the left side and Omark doesn't want to play in the AHL. What are they suppose to do?

I asked if you were Swedish, not if you were an Oiler fan. If you'd rather watch Omark at the Worlds and don't give a **** about the Barons, then you obviously don't give a **** about the org as a whole. <shrugs> To each their own. Personally i think it'd be the bomb to have the Barons win the Calder. Those guys playing for the Barons are future Oiler players in case you gave a ****.
