If Florida sucks and we are in the playoff mix, I can imagine us going after MacKenzie at the deadline.

I'm pretty sad. God speed Tube.

Goodbye Frodo, hopefully you drop the ring in the garbage fire known as Edmonton.

I wish we could have had him back, but I am not going to get upset about this. I am happy for him if that is what he wanted.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Anyone able to provide a brief scouting report on him?

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

to save the day

Someone has to do the dirty work with all those #1 picks,

I think poster was referring to Letestu doing the heavy work for the Oilers's plethora of first rounders.

Okay, that makes more sense. Not the way I read it at first.

Great PK, feisty but not reckless, versatile player. He will be missed.

 

[BluejacketNut]

Damn, wanted to keep him. Enjoy Antarctica, will miss him

 

[MAHJ71]

Stinks to see him go. Hopefully we are not rolling with just Wild Bill & Chaput.

Best of luck to Letestu, hope he gets that long term contract, I wouldn't want to have signed him for 3 years to play on the 4th line though, so I'm ok with him walking. I do however hope we find someone better than Chaput to center the 4th line, someone with more grit.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Dammit!...I will miss Letestu and had hoped his signing would be the cherry on the trade sundae.

Thanks, my "real job" consists almost entirely of reading and deciphering.

 

[Nordique]

Deal Anisimov, then let Letestu walk...

So much for depth at center.

I think Boone slots in there.

I agree with you in general, except I saw him as more than a 4th line C because of his ability to play wing, move up lines, PK, shame shootpit help, and add more scoring as 4C when playing with competent line mates. I too wish him well.
