Brown can be buried I guess but he signed for multiple yrs

I believe Brown was signed to be on the Condors and to come up for the occasional game based on size alone. never to be on the NHL roster full time.

His play in his career and preseason showed he doesn't belong as a full-time NHLer

If Lavoie clears, would the Oilers trade him for another AHLer like Simoneau ?

 

[Agalloch]

I guess EDM signs Dermott.

Would prefer a D prospect.

Pass.

I feel for Lavoie.. he's doing all he can but this isn't a good fit for him. Legit hope he gets picked up and gets his NHL chance elsewhere.

I'm super high on Rodrigue... so seeing him on waivers scares me. I think he has a higher ceiling than Stu and one day we will say 'remember when he was available for free?'

Brown signing is just confounding.

Philp looked great! I think we'll see him soon as our roster is a tad old and will have injuries. Not much more he could have done IMO

Hopefully loaning Philp is just a paper move.

That 2RD is a glaring hole to me.. .nothing against Embersson but this is our TDL move I hope to bump that up.

I see it is Emberson is the try out and if he kills it (probably not) they don’t try as hard for a 2rhd. But I think that’s the move no matter what. A 3rd and a 3rd line winger to play with Kane and Henrique in the playoffs. That or a top 6 winger to push Skinner down.

What about bringing Bear back?

What about bringing Bear back?

We need a legit 2nd pair RHD unless Bear has become that since leaving the answer is no.

 

[ManofSteel55]

What about bringing Bear back?

Too expensive for too little. He isn't a 2D.

 

[Czechboy]

What about bringing Bear back?

Fanbase is really split on him.lol I was on the Bear is a 2RD side of things but I don't think it's aged the best.lol

All dime a dozen players with Lavoie being somewhat intriguing

 

[Rubi]

Oilers fans have been high on Lavoie this preseason and its not like their cupboard is overflowing with promising depth players.
I expect a number of Oilers fans will have their fingers crossed for tge next 24 hours.

I'd legit be happy if he got claimed and was in NHL this year. He'll never get the shot he needs (on Drai or McD's wing with PP time) here.

 

[Three On Zero]

Lavoie could be an interesting pick up for a lower end team like San Jose / Columbus. He looks ready for a limited shot at the NHL

 

[Czechboy]

I'll take back my Rodrique concern of being picked up after seeing all the goalies waived today.lol

 

[Some Other Flame]

Both Perry and Ryan being everyday players is wild

 

[McShogun99]

Feel bad for Lavoie. He was one of the better Oilers all preseason.

 

[Mr Kot]

calligula looked pretty good, but just not enough space. Hopefully perry and ryan get replaced by better players oon.

Honestly I don’t think he’d be a big loss if claimed. He just clearly outperformed Perry and the Oilers could have used a bit of youthful energy in the bottom 6.

Honestly I hope some other team gives him a shot. He deserves one. Not sure he ever amounts to much, but he’s been treated pretty shit here imo.

Rangers offer Lindgren + 2026 and 2027 3rds
for
Raph Lavoie + EDM 2026 + 2027 2nds

helps w/stopgap D this yr, tho he is lefty shot
and you will have to juggle some cap
