Grade the Oilers FAF

[Faelko]

Went for a round of golf and all hell breaks loose, need some time to digest this but first reaction is HOLY SHIT!

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

I don't know, it's nothing compared to when we were signing the likes of Joakim Nygard.

Gaetan Haas, Markus Granlund, Tomáš Jurčo, etc.

Literally picking bottom of the barrel.

 

[McShogun99]

This might be the best opening day of free agency in team history. October 9th can’t come soon enough.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Out of the top 5 value contracts today I think the Oilers signed 5 of them.

A+ no doubt.

This is what happens when other players truly believe a team can win the SC.

 

[Shizuka]

A- for me, if they can somehow turn Ceci into an upgrade (but I'm a bit skeptical on that). Jackson has shown his chops here. Bloody hell so much for moping over the loss, I can't f***ing wait for the season to start up.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Remember every breakaway and odd man rush chance that Foegele fumbled because he had hands of stone?

Well now Skinner a guy who scored 357 goals in his career is that guy firing those pucks.

 

[sepHF]

we've come a long way boys

 

[K1900L]

Amazing acquisitions and signings.

But also ought to remember that some of the guys took less in order to stay and compete. High character to walk this route, will have my full support if one of them struggles at some time in the season.

 

[rec28]

Easy A… A++ if able to upgrade D.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Gaetan Haas, Markus Granlund, Tomáš Jurčo, etc.

Literally picking bottom of the barrel.

The glory days. I guess we'll have to see how next season turns out, but no one in here is going to change my mind that we'll ever land a better player during free agency than Iiro Pakarinen. Don't even get me started on Lennart Petrell.

 

[Louis Cypher]

McLeod + Ceci to a younger rebuilding team may be enticing and likely not difficult to pull off.

San Jose need a RD?

We need a RD!

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Well now Skinner a guy who scored 357 goals in his career is that guy firing those pucks.

I’m more curious if he steams a good ham.

 

[TheNumber4]

I was gonna vote A- cause we didn't dump any bad cap.

But Skinner, Arvie, Brown, and Rico? Yeh this is A+ for me. I'd be greedy wanting more.

 

[russ99]

A+ at least until we see what we give up in moves to cut cap.

That team was miles deeper than some of the shit we iced.

you're not wrong

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

I'd keep McLeod honestly. Think he still has another level in him. Wouldn't want to give up on him too soon.

Gave it an A-/B+ but could easily see it shift to an A or an A+ if several things work out.

Mcleod doesn't have another level because the next level involves him playing like a non-perimeter player.

He fooled everyone with his missing teeth getting them to think he's gritty.

That's not Buffalo.

Its clearly an Albany expression.

 

[Senor Catface]

Those kids never had a chance.

Absolutely no support.

 

[RipsADrive]

JF Jaques.

First line LW.

Also lol at the lurkers with the bad grades. Cope!!!

They really need to clamp down on that with a line or two of code.

 

[Senor Catface]

That's not Buffalo.

Its clearly an Albany expression.

ARE WE MAKING SIMPSONS JOKES??

 

[BlackDogg]

"If somethings hard, it's probably not worth doing."

PC & BN

 

[McIce Whole]

A+. Best free agency we’ve had in…well, forever. No stupid contracts and targeted the right players. Don’t like Josh Brown but I’m not pressed about a 7/8th dmen.

If Knob feels something is there then great and if not, just bury him.

Skinner, Arvidsson and bringing back everyone except Foegs, Vinny and Carrick.

What a f***ing masterclass by JJ

 

[Game 8]

JJ is absolutely a wizard! We lost the cup by one goal one week ago, since then he traded up in the draft to grab what looks like a fantastic prospect, takes what could be an excellent goalie in round 2, and then does this today for an encore!
