Interesting signing. Hopefully he still has game left and can actually play. We shall see.

Lol.

 

[La Bamba]

I think this will amount to nothing but I'd be very happy if he proved most people wrong

 

[Tarus]

Can't see how a 34 year old who hasn't played hockey in two years makes the roster, so much ado about nothing

Doubt he even catches on with the AHL team

 

[Mr Positive]

Interesting that the reason he's been out was long covid. He's young enough and maybe he kept up his game off the ice

 

[PaPaDee]

Doesn’t hurt. Curious to see what he can do.

 

[McShogun99]

I’m rooting for him to get back to the NHL after what happened to him.

 

[FlameChampion]

All the best to Sutter coming off of Covid issues but all of a sudden, Patrick and White don’t seem like bad options anymore.

 

[McDoused]

Weird

After long-COVID-derailed career, Brandon Sutter has hope he could play again

Brandon Sutter doesn’t have answers, and he hasn’t fully recovered from the effects of long Covid, but what the 34-year-old Canucks centre does finally have is hope – a belief he may soon be able to fully immerse himself in a training regimen that leads to another shot in the NHL.

Seems like a Demers type situation.

Probably just throwing him a bone to skate around on an NHL rink again close to home.

He has as much of a chance of sticking around on the Oilers as I do

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Decent thing for the Oilers to do. Rootin for him.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Vet minimum mandatory for preseason games with an outside chance of making the team.

And by team I mean Bakersfield. I don't see him as an Oiler next year.

Lol.

Weren't you championing Virtanen last year? lol.

 

[Ruok]

Ah I thought it was Pius Sutter when I saw the headline on the score app. Oh well.

 

[LTIR]

Nolan Patrick should also be on our radar

 

[CycloneSweep]

Teams are required a certain amount of vets for preseason games.
Probably a 5% chance he sticks.

 

[ujju2]

Stalock did it. Can Sutter? Well, I'm rooting for him!

Edit: Between him, Cags, Pederson, and the young guys, we've at least got some decent competition for the 11/12/13/14 spots.

 

[ehhteen]

I remember the days of him in Vancouver when he was on that pretty good checking line with Markus Granlund and Jannik Hansen.

 

[Vagabond]

He once was a solid 3rd line center. Hopefully his health has recovered because if so, that'd be a solid depth signing.

 

[Louis Cypher]

This is good. If he can stay healthy he is exactly what we need.

Would have been a great signing 5 years ago. But nothing to lose.

If they have space, they should take a flyer on some of these guys and see if anyone can rise to the occasion. Sutter has experience and would come really cheap if he can still play in the NHL.

 

[McHelpus]

I give this guys alot of props for not giving up. I hope he makes the team.

 

[OilerTyler]

The ivermectin must finally be working

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Nolan Patrick should also be on our radar

I think he might be along with Colin White. Maybe Devin Shore as well on a 2 way deal? I can see 3-4 PTO’s in camp this fall along with Pederson and Cagguilla to really push Holloway and Lavoie to earn the final 2 spots and beat NHLers out for the 11th and 12th spots. It appears the 13th and 14th spots will be in Bako with a 21 man roster.

 

[Captain Controversy]

I've always liked the idea of Sutter being a third line C or 4th line C.
Let's hope he has some game left.
