Last I heard, Flower doesn't want to go to edmonton. Given the hawks have said they will send himto wherever he wants to go, I think flower is beyond the realm of realism for the oilers

Can't have picks conditional on re-signing or extensions in the current CBA.

This must have came from someone in EDM because this isn't the first time I've seen an EDM fan say this. I have not heard this in CHI. I have heard he wants to stay in one place and he wants to contend. I've also heard the rumor that he doesn't want to go to WAS because they battled against each other for years, but I haven't heard anything about no to EDM.

Yeah, all of Edmonton's talking heads are saying this.

Yeah. I've seen a lot of that kind of talk too. But none of it came from any credible source. So I'm not sure where it originally came from. But I would assume, if Flower has his pick, it wouldn't be EDM at this point. They would need to improve defensively quite a bit to entice him. Or put together a string of games that overshadow their last couple months of play.
