Claimed off Waivers: [EDM] Oilers claim D Alec Regula off waivers from the Bruins

[GreeningOil]

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.

That already happened to the Oilers with Lavoie and we lost him a 2nd time to waivers LOL

Sounds and plays like lettuce

He sounds like off brand pasta sauce

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

For those interested, this cost Edmonton $41,250, paid to Boston and not counted against the cap.


Players claimed this season: 15
Total compensation: $469,875

Solid add for Regula season but hopefully we get a more legit RD for playoffs.

 

[ManofSteel55]

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

I think it means Travis Dermott can pack his bags, because he's about to hit the waiver wire.

Yup. That makes sense. Bowman also liked this guy before too, so obviously he sees something. I don't mind the buy-low bet. Always a fan of reclamation projects if they come free.

He's dollar general Bouchard.

Nothing move.. need to address 2RD. We just keep picking up 6/7 type guys and hoping for miracles.

I don’t think they’re hoping for a miracle! This guy will likely play 10 games or less

He's dollar general Bouchard.

Holy shit. Really? That's exactly who I wanted for the 4RHD. Seriously, if he's Dollar Store Bouchard I'm happy.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Maybe things can get back to Regula now.

He just needs some Pepto

Noteworthy: Lead the AHL in plus minus last year with +36.

I assume that's because his team was good. Lol

Yeh always have to be careful with +/-. Not a great stat for individuals.

one dollar will get you a house

This dude hasn't played in the NHL since November 16th, 2022

It’s a new adding pieces he likes. Not every move has to be a blockbuster

His game couldn't be more different to Bouchard's haha. Regula's calling card is shutdown hockey.

It's not, but in his case it is interesting to keep an eye on because his teams have generally been much better with him on the ice than off of it.

Yeh, that was a just a bad comp.

Lots of good signs there for a waiver pick up. I am intrigued.

He is even better. You should make your expectations really high.

 

[VaporTrail]

Regula rhymes with Pegula...Imagine if he married Jess Pegula ? Her name would go to Jess Regula lol

He's not...lol not even close.

 

[TheNumber4]

He's not...lol not even close.

Likely yes. Sounds like a bad comp.

 

[Dead Coyote]

Solid pickup by the Oilers as much as I hate them. Don't know if it's going to matter but they've given Stecher a decent shot and Regula is pretty much a better Stecher. Exactly the type of defenseman Oilers need, we'll see if they can make use of him.
