That shot ended up at least 4 feet higher than the net - and wide by a few feet... Maybe this explains his low goal totals.

My relationship with the Oilers is abusive.
The good news is, these guys have a lot of motivation to choose to sign with the Oilers. It's far and away their best bet to see NHL ice, maybe even within the year.
OK. Fair enough. But, it should be obvious to Brossoit and the entire Oilers organization that Bachman will never be an NHL starting goalie. I mean competition among prospects. Brossoit has a 30 something Bachman and two average to below average ECHL guys in Bunz and Tuohimaa to compete with for the next goalie job in Edmonton.
Bring in O'Connor and that automatically forces Brossoit to work a little harder and also gives O'Connor the motivation to supplant LB for the starting job in Bakersfield.
You can kind of see Scrivens and Fasth try and push each other to be better, but the fact of the matter is that they're just not good...

The only way these guys sign in Edmonton is holding MacT hostage and forcing him to promise an NHL foster spot. A la Schultz. Negotiating tool - why else sign in crappy city and crappy franchise unless you can offer more guarantees than the next guy, and with everyone offering similarly max dollars, the only other thing you can really "offer" is plying time. Morrison? Doubt he gets the big offer, so the Oilers may get him, underwhelming, but i bet O'Connor gets a solid offer and gets to pick from the Oilers guaranteed NHL roster spot and simply better destinantions with no plying time guarantees.

He played for Western Michigan. They had a pretty bad record this year. A national championship would be a miracle.

Oesterle and Kenny Morrison were teammates at Western Michigan, so hopefully there has already been a recruiting pitch.

Sometimes miracles
The tough part of these high end College free agents is they get the same (basic) offer from everyone. So it's hard to tell which team may or may not have the upper hand. I think, despite the most tire-est of fires, the Oilers are a good option for some of these guys are they are more likely to get NHL time here (sadly) then in other markets.

Man we need Morrison way more than the Flames. His booming shot would be a real weapon on our PP

Not sure about that... Calgary seems like a team just as likely to screw him up.
