[Arpeggio]

A little bit more than I thought he'd come in at, do we still have room for Janmark?

 

[Soli]

Could have used a bit more of a discount, but let’s gooooo

 

[belair]

Don't know how they're gonna do it. But this is exciting.

 

[McHelpus]

Convince me this is good?

 

[Old Boys Club]

No henrique im guessing then

 

[McOilers97]

Kane has to be out now right? There’s no way that RNH, Hyman, Arvidsson, Skinner and Kane all play wing for this team.

He's a year removed from 35 goals and 82 points. Even if he is only able to replicate the season he just had, 24 goals and 46 points is pretty good value for $3M.

Personally, I'd have rather brought back Henrique as a 3C/top 6 W option. But I guess that wasn't in the cards.

 

[Mr Kot]

Skinny Jeff!

 

[FlameChampion]

Interesting. Guy is like a 25+ goal scorer.

I mean its a cheap deal but given our cap situation I thought it would be less. Must be something else coming?

Kane has to be out now right? There’s no way that RNH, Hyman, Arvidsson, Skinner and Kane all play wing for this team.

Move RNH to center with Brown and Janmark (if he re-signs).

 

[Jay Harris]

I mean he's a very talented player but my concern is would a player like him have helped us to win a physical series against Vancouver or Florida??
I feel like at this stage we need good players who also bring an edge and toughness ...
Just saying.

 

[McShogun99]

I’m guessing that’s the Henrique money unless there’s a plan to move some salary out.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Little more rich then I hoped but he’s still got game

Rodrigues was Floridas best player in the finals. Hes a pipsqueek.


Marchessault raped us in the Vegas series and hes a tiny little baby bear.

I don’t think adding talent hurts. Oilers still have levels that they can get in terms of 5 on 5 play.

 

[MinisterOfSinister]

1 Year show me deal for a guy who can really skate. Honestly think he's a fit for McDavid, not Draisaitl.

 

[CupofOil]

Holy shit, I didn't think they'd actually land him but if this means no Janmark then I'm conflicted. If they can get Janmark inked, this offseason is better than I imagined it would be.

Skinner-McDavid-Hyman
Kane-Draisaitl-Arvidsson
Holloway-RNH-Brown
xxx-Ryan-Perry

That's a serious lineup especially if they get Janmark signed, I sure hope the Kane rumbings aren't true.

 

[Kwiatkowski18]

This could be a low key great signing if he gels

 

[La Bamba]

Okay, I’m treating myself to a nice lunch (dinner) now

LFG

 

[MoontoScott]

No way you can sign Henrique now unless he comes in way under the estimated price tag.

One way or another, the Oilers picked up 2 wingers today who have a history of being able to put the puck in the net. You can bet that both Drai and Mc-D are pleased.

 

[JossyP]

In one offseason JJ has given drai better wingers then Hollands whole tenure lol. Amazing signing

 

[Shizuka]

Kane has to be out now right? There’s no way that RNH, Hyman, Arvidsson, Skinner and Kane all play wing for this team.

Yeah, kind of wondering about this too then. That's one too many.

 

[Tarus]

Between Perry and Skinner, the Oilers are either going to lose in the cup finals or are going to miss the playoffs altogether.

Talk about boom or bust

 

[McDoused]

LFG!!!

HELL YEAH!!! 40 goal scorer for peanuts

 

[timekeep]

Interesting signing, are we only worried about one more and that's it?
