can we send him down?

 

[featherhawk]

figured he would be claimed by someone. Cant hurt, they need help at the D spot.

 

[Quinning]

Travis Dermott aka the Mike Sillinger of defencemen.

 

[Bounces R Way]

That aughta fix it. Bowman waiver genius strikes again.

I am so excited to see the Oilers do nothing at the deadline and then proclaim their big deadline acquisitions were Dermott, Savoie being called up and a returning Evander Kane. So excited...

 

[McDNicks17]

FYI, Bakersfield has been running with five(and sometimes even six) right-handed defensemen on the roster this year.

He's likely heading down there.

I can't see the Oilers not doing something much bigger, and probably more stupid at the deadline. Even their "braintrust" has gotta realize they're in "go all in" territory right now, full on.


But in the meantime...things are pretty dire when Dermott passes for "defensive help".

For those interested, this cost Edmonton $13,125, paid to Minnesota and not counted against the cap.


Players claimed this season: 27
Total compensation: $783,000

Remember, not every day you can do a waiver pickup.

Only if you were the only team to put in a claim

 

[ManofSteel55]

can we send him down?

Good question. It's the same situation that happened with Lavoie being able to be sent down by Vegas, only with more time in between the times the player was waived. I don't care if we have to waive him again and lose him to the Wild once again, he's nothing but AHL depth for us I hope.

[ManofSteel55]

Right where he should be.

Nothing to see here folks. AHL depth.

You would think... but management and the media that is tied pretty closely to the management team keep putting out to not expect much movement at the deadline. For some reason, management believes in Skinner and Picks, doesn't think they can make any moves because they haven't talked to Kane and think they are good on the right side of the def. It is extremely frustrating that the teams biggest needs 10 years ago are still the team's biggest needs today.

no, he can be sent down, he'll just need to clear waivers again.

Just clearing it up, because you make it sound like he can't be sent down at all.

 

[Three On Zero]

can we send him down?

If a sole team put in a claim, he can be assigned to the AHL right away.

If multiple teams put in a claim, he needs to go through waivers again prior to being sent down.

My interest in this is, and shall remain, zero.

 

[Rubi]

Oilers brain trust once again makes another huge move to strengthen the team. Obviously going all in for a 2025 SC win.

"Oh Boy!" said no one in Edmonton

Then it is not for you

We needed more LHD D-depth we only have one LHD on the farm.

Dermott isn't an NHL player, but if he is 9th-10th in your pecking order that is a reasonable spot for him and should be a significant add to the AHL squad.

Mike Sillinger was actually useful.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Looks like he has already been sent down. Remember, the Oilers lost him on waivers to the Wild earlier this year.
