I have always thought that Poklington wrecked the Oilers after they won those 
cups. He sold out bigtime. Now that there are no more really valuable players 
to sell, he's selling the team. Maybe somebody will buy the team who cares 
about puting a winning team on the ice. I sure hope the Canucks become 
contenders. I am glad that Sakic is staying put. Gratton is now officially a 
flyer. I never heard anything about Kevin Lowe.
