For his first trade deadline as a general manager, the Edmonton Oilers' Steve Tambellini helped put together one of the most complicated deals in trade deadline history, a four-team combination that landed the Oilers top-end forwards Patrick O'Sullivan and Ales Kotalik.
The deal also involved the Los Angeles Kings, Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres, and saw four players switch teams.
"It was basically trying to make sure all those teams, all their goals were accomplished," said Tambellini on a conference call Wednesday night. "We're happy with our results."
Tambellini said going into the deadline his goal was to upgrade his team's offense, and he did that in landing O'Sullivan, who has 14 goals in 62 games with the Kings, and Kotalik, who has 13 goals in 56 games with the Sabres.

When i first heard this news i wasn't exactly that impressed, but i guess time will tell. I was hoping the Oilers would land Chris Neil or a few players that are bigger and play a more robust style. I've said it before and i will say it again this team topp to bottom is to easy to play against.
