Stanbo strikes

 

[Captain Controversy]

Sick moves, Bro.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Bowman traded for him previously

 

[VeteranPresence]

Don't hate this at all. Was thinking there was no way we'd claim him but I see a smidge of upside here.

 

[McDoused]

The parade is back on

 

[TheNumber4]

He’ll be a Regula in Bakersfield

 

[Old Boys Club]

Cup clinching move. Stan’s on it

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He was acquired by Bowman in Chicago and Bowman now brings him to Oilers organization

Not shocked as GM's tend to like guys they previously acquired

 

[Mr Kot]

The Regulator will regulate in the AHL

 

[WarriorofTime]

He’ll be a Regula in Bakersfield

Not how Waivers work. They'd have to re-waive him and if Boston claimed him back with no other claimants, he'd be automatically assigned to Providence.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He’ll be a Regula in Bakersfield

He would need to be waived again in order to go there and that would allow Boston to claim him back and send him down without requiring waivers.

So, he's going to be a Regula in Edmonton for now.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Probably keep him as a RHD #7 and waive dermott (who has been no bueno and is not even #7 calibre)

Ahh right. Then this is a perplexing move as it stands, cause our Right Side D is playing well.

Right waivers. Very interesting, now I’m intrigued and surprised. Cause our RHD have played well this season.

Almost assuredly the move.

Dermott down (he's been horrible). Bako needs LD anyway so that solves a problem. Keep Regula around as the 7D and get him back up to speed from his knee injury and see what we've got. He was legitimately good in the AHL last season and he's got size.

 

[The don godfather]

Do bruins save any cap from this?

 

[Connor McConnor]

No way he's worse than Dermott as a 7D. Low risk move, nothing to care about much.

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Maybe things can get back to Regula now.

 

[GoBoltz56]

Bowman traded for him previously

I was about to say "I think Holland drafted him, so makes sense" but forgot about that whole situation...yours also fits

 

[cheesymc]

Ideal 7th man as he recovers from injury. Played well in the AHL, only 24, size, right shot… why not?

 

[bobbythebrain]

Sounds and plays like lettuce

 

[McFlash97]

He'll be part of the Oilers Regula rotation of 7th defensemen

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

I'd like to know how much this cost Edmonton, paid to Boston, not counted against the cap.
