I really wanted him pre covid. Good speed but this feels about 5 years late. I don't mind the pickup but we seem to love our name forwards and our no name D.

Brown, Hyman, Kapanen, Dermott.

They're getting the band back together.

don’t understand why these guys aren’t more often claimed. Teams can try them and if they don’t work out just put them back on waivers. Their cap hits are totally put into the minors. These are cannot lose claims. Smart play by the Oilers on this on.

Experienced proven guys, who have cap hits that can be 100% buried in the minors if it doesn’t work out. It’s a can’t lose.
What, exactly, is the negative here for the Oilers?

Kaapo Kähkönen was claimed just like that. Played only one game for Avs before he was back on waivers.
