Thoughts on November : Another decent month for us. We’re still in the mix for a playoff spot and that’s a big surprise. The rise of Sam Gagner has a lot to do with it, his play has been outstanding and he’s helping Pääjärvi to be a serious contender for the Calder trophy. However, Jordan Eberle struggles continue and I may have to send him to the AHL to get his game back. Two veterans that were deceptions in October, raise their play this month. I’m talking about Souray and Horcoff, both played well in November and if we want to keep our unexpected hope for a playoff run, we’re going to need them. However, Dustin Penner is playing is way out of Edmonton. Unless he finds a way to gets his game back, expect him to be trade at deadline.
