Chris Pronger, the biggest name on the summer trade block is going to California.

The Anaheim Ducks have traded Joffrey Lupul, one non-roster player and several conditional high-end draft picks to the Oilers in exchange for Pronger.

Pronger, 31, put up 56 points and a plus-2 rating during the 2005-2006 regular season and was a stalwart for the Oilers during their playoff run to the Stanley Cup final, recording 21 points and a plus-10 rating in 24 games.  The 2000 Hart and Norris Trophy winner is regarded as one of the very best defenders in the league, and joins a Ducks defence corps that includes 2004 Norris Trophy winner Scott Niedermayer.

I dunno, Luppul is a decent player but I wonder who "The Non Roster guy is" Ya I was also thinking bobby ryan and we better get a lot of first round draft picks.

Overall Oilers made a bad deal
I was still wishing for a Pronger for Forsberg :(

and i'm not to sure about this trade either. Oilers have enough forwards as it is, but they get 4 million or a bit less then that in spending money. They can sign a forward or something

Anahiem got a good deal, Oilers are iffy on their end of the bargain, depending on who they get.

Well Lupul has 53 points this season, but the thing is Oilers already have Horcoff, Hemsky, Samsanov, Smyth, Peca (maybe), Pisani, Stoll who are all capable of getting 60 points or more in a season. Now adding Lupul, well great now they have awesome forwards but the D is lacking.

Spacek, Staos are good linemates but Oilers need some big liner to play like 28 minutes a game like pronger did.

They wont put Neidermayer and Pronger on the same line, that'd be stupid. However they'll be on special teams together

hmm Lopul, isn't he an Edmonton Native? He'll be happy there
+ 3 1st round draft picks is good

Pronger is overrated. Everyone claims him to be the best defensemen in the league. I beg to differ. Nick Lidstrom is much better.

Lindstrom is awesome on defense too, they're both good.
