Rumor: Kris Russell to Edmonton 1 year/3.1 million?

[Matt24]

What are you doing, Chiarelli?

 

[Ace]

This will be Chia's last job, right?

 

[Savvy]

i wonder if Russell came to his senses or Edmonton lost their minds and are going to give him a big money long term deal.

 

[Mad Brills*]

If he somehow gets more than 2.5 million I'll die laguhing.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Please let this be true!

This. So much this.

 

[Matt24]

Smart move

Unless he stole him value wise, this is a baffling decision on multiple levels.

 

[BeastMode97]

Chiarellis pants are down, pockets open and other GMs are just taking what they please.

 

[JLo217]

How much for Nurse?

 

[wonton15]

I hope it's a long contract.

 

[BVicious]

Chia is a Flames fan

 

[voxel]

Why not... for cheap... sure.

 

[Seachd]

There was already a thread on this, but:

 

[Mad Brills*]

3.1 million LMFAO.

 

[Seachd]

3.1 million LMFAO.

That's pretty good for the Oilers.

 

[Matt24]

3.1? Delete your job, Chiarelli.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Dellow must be rolling over in his grave.

 

[Matt24]

That's pretty good for the Oilers.

Just because he wanted twice as much a few months ago, doesn't make this good.

 

[Seachd]

Just because he wanted twice as much a few months ago doesn't make it good.

No, what makes it good is that he's a decent right-side defenseman on a one year deal. So it makes the defense better. That's what makes it good.

 

[Satan]

Wow this is a bad night for Oilers fans

 

[Matt24]

No, what makes it good is that he's a decent right-side defenseman on a one year deal. So it makes the defense better. That's what makes it good.

He's still overpaid at 3.1. Plain and simple.

 

[Mad Brills*]

You saw how bad he was with dallas right?

 

[KGL]

Russell is just awful, and they still went north of $3M for him despite the fact he's not been able to get a deal all summer. Too funny.

 

[McOvechking]

Meh, he's better than Gryba and arguably Fayne. We need him.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Meh, he's better than Gryba and arguably Fayne. We need him.

damn if true I didn't realize Gryba and Fayne were that horrible.

 

[KlefDown]

it's one year, who have our squad so why not use the "dead" cap space? not like we have financial issues
