[Jimmi McJenkins]

He will supply some muscle and fighting ability against certain teams
Something Desharnais was useless at

I guess, Desharnais was better at hockey, the important part

They'll both fill the same roll in the playoffs.

Sitting in the pressbox.

Atleast this one is 1m cheaper.

If we’re moving Ceci, he can play on the right side, has a physical game and seems adequate as a crease clearer/cycle breaker. At a lower price point, with flexibility to move to Bakersfield if we can make a better move before or at the deadline.

A little tired of some of the skilled guys ala McDavid getting it a little too much without much coming back
Need an enforcer type for forward at least in minors

And can actually fight
Des was a terrible fighter

Well he got the call today while Nurse is out. Here's to hoping that he comes in and looks much better than he did during preseason. I'm thinking that he will come in and give us decent defense and physical play that we've been sorely missing. Hopefully he makes guys like Stetcher and Dermott look expendable.

 

[guymez]

He couldnt possibly be worse than Dermott.

 

[Jumptheshark]

He has been brought up because the oilers realize they have zero toughness
