[SeanMoneyHands]

Best offense in the league, sooooo deep.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Kapapenen - McDavid - Drai

 

[All Mod Cons]

Brown, Hyman, Kapanen, Dermott.

They're getting the band back together.

The "Kapanen Era" has begun, the "Ty Rattie" era is now in jeopardy...

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.

 

[joepeps]

They really do have an obsession with former leafs

 

[Leafs87]

Brown, Hyman, Kapanen, Dermott.

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.

Who are "these guys"?

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.

I don't hate it from an Oilers perspective. He's a guy who once upon a time, used to be able to generate a lot of his own offense at even strength from bottom-6 minutes. They could use something like that.


Whether he's still that player, or something else is going on with him...i guess we'll see. Worst case, he's dirt cheap and you can always just waive him again.

Kapapenen - McDavid - Drai

If you remove letters from Draisaitl, shouldn't the ones you add to Kapanen be the same?

Kapsaitlanen

Temporary stop gap until Arvidsson returns to the line up.

He’ll be back on waivers in 2 weeks. Unless he suddenly decides he’s not a plug anymore.
