Claimed off Waivers: [EDM] Oilers claim F Kasperi Kapanen off waivers from the Blues

No, it's not. If all the Oilers need is a short burst of offense, then they'll get it and then wonder why he's on the team.

It's a free asset. If the burst of offense lasts 10 games, the claim.was good

All they need is a warm body while Arvidsson and Hyman are out.

Ah! I get it. He will score a few wicked goals leaving you salivating for more. The guy is definitely skilled, but lacks the motivation to be consistent.

I'm just being a butthead. He is a skilled guy who will frustrate you.

why exactly does it suck for Kapanen? He got waived and would have been sent to Springfield. Now he gets to play more NHL games, and on a good team, no less.

No escrow to pay in the AHL...

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Always expected more from this guy. Lots of tools, but he's a perennial disappointment.

Never a good sign when a number of fans of the team write: "The contract can be fully buried" or something similar.

It's not a bad sign either. Just means there is no risk.
