Sportsent wins again – Edmonton trades Tom Gilbert to Minnesota for Nick Schultz

Edmonton swaps an offensive defenseman for a defensive defenseman.  Both d-men are heading home as Gilbert's from Minnesota and Schultz is from Saskatchewan.  Their ages are similar, their cap hits are similar and contract terms are identical with 2 years left after this one.  Minnestoa needed more offense, the Oilers more defense so this is a straight hockey trade of needs.  Could help both teams.

I'm starting to think TSN just watches Sportsnet and reports their breaking news because they've been about 3 minutes behind on every trade.

Sportsnet 3 – TSN 0
