Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] F Adam Henrique re-signs with the Oilers (2 years, $3M AAV)

[nabob]

I’m sure Connor and Leon won’t like it because they are wired differently, but the Oilers have the type of depth that they can bring down both of their TOI by 2 mins per game during the regular season.

People who don’t watch the oilers or pay attention to the oilers should try asking questions first instead of showing they don’t know what they’re talking about.

 

[snipes]

Unreal that they got this done. Took less money to stay as well.

Jackson absolutely slayed it, holy shit

 

[Frank Drebin]

Mcdavid bringing in his all star management team. Nice to see players take a discount to play here

 

[Matty Sundin]

no need to hire Bowman. Jackson has been cooking tonight

 

[PuckG]

Agreed although a good second pair would go along way in fending off other contenders in 24-25. Hell I would say if they had a competent second pairing they likely get past the Canucks in 5 games which may have preserved Draisaitl/Kane enough to be more effective in the SCF.

Not that I disagree, but the Canucks were lucky to have it go as long as they did with the bounces they had and Silovs standing on his head. That series likely goes a lot quicker next time around.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Is he actually injured?

As much as Stone was in Vegas

 

[CupofOil]

If they trade Kane maybe I can finally start allowing myself to root for them.

Unless they hire Bowman.

I think some Oiler fans would stop rooting for the team if they hired Bowman.

 

[McFlyingV]

Is he actually injured?

Played the entire year with a sports hernia and needed to have injections before every game in the playoffs, and then missed the final 3 games of the cup final. Yeah I think he might actually be injured.

 

[Bank Shot]

Holy f*** what a stacked forward group, even when assuming that Kane is gone.

The D is mid though. Great top pairing with a garbage bottom 4.

Kulak-Ceci is an outstanding bottom pair.

Crazy how the Oilers were top 10 in goals against last season despite the worst D and goalie evar!

The 2nd pair is certainly the weakness on the roster. But even with that said, the same d-core was one of the best defensive teams in the league under their current coach last season.

Jeff Jackson must have really killed it if the trolls are this active in here.

At this point those two would absolutely buy into that, the Oilers will need them more rested for the next run.

 

[Soundwave]

I agree he looked good. But that's a very small sample size to trust in.

Also the rental RD market looks iffy this coming season

Larsson (who won't waive for edmonton)
Ekblad (who, in order to get to the cap hit edmonton needs is going to cost a fortune as well as being unlikely to be sold by a contender)

So your best bet is what? Pionk? 34 year old Savard? (also, I think MTL might just be able to turn this RHD market into a 1st with savard).

Do you really want to have to pay a 1st round pick to get David Savard, who I'm not sure is much better than Cody Ceci himself.

I think Adam Larsson would waive actually. The Oilers team he left was not anywhere near this good, they were losing in round 1 not a team that went to game 7 of a Cup Final and just upgraded the roster again. Larsson's good friend Klefbom was retiring, but now they are a legit Cup contender and destination for players who want to win and have brought in several other Swedish players like Ekholm, Janmark, Arvidsson, Broberg.

He got his little break in Seattle, but if they're not a playoff team again and if there was a trade for Edmonton on the table I think he would waive. He still vacations with Draisaitl and is friends with McDavid.

Doesn’t matter how you sort it, they were still a bottom 10 team for goals against

Now if we were talking about allowing the LEAST goals against, they would be a top 10 team!

Just don’t ever go on some weird rant and get banned, I would miss you too much.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

Florida won

And the oilers were lucky to not face demko

Canucks should be raising 2 banners next season: 1 for the regular season sweep of the oilers and another for taking them to game 7 without demko. Be sure to let us oilers fans know when that is so we can tune into the pregame.

lol no weirdo rants from me. What you see is what you get.

 

[Frank Drebin]

First time ever in the mcdrai era that they actually have a good team on paper.

Skinner still the weak link in goal and bottom 4 d aren’t great but every team has weaknesses

He’s a winger, Frank!

I’m so confused

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Kane has a NMC until Mar 1 2025 when it converts to a 16 team NTC. Depends on his injury situation he may go on ltir

He’s mangled, apparently. Hip issues and a hernia. I’ve heard rumbles he might not play at all next year.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Sounds like Kane is going to need surgery right before the season begins.
