Confirmed with Link: Oilers sign Viktor Arvidsson (2 years x 4M AAV)

[dss97]

Nice to see us grabbing a shoot first player for a change.

Him and Ekholm are going to have to make up after the LA series

I guess cheap top 6-skilled top 9 option. Foegele is now clearly not coming back.

Love the contract. Concerns about health but 2x4 is excellent

9F 5D 2G signed with 7.933m in space remaining and Broberg and Holloway to re-sign as RFAs

So maybe with RFAs signed we have 10F 6D 2 G with 5 M… if we get Janmark for decent rate maybe it’s 11F 6D 2G with 3.75 left… if we run a short roster maybe that’s enough to get Henrique back?

 

[tiger_80]

Those will be two year bridge deals, I'd venture a guess. They will probably sign another bottom 6 forward and a bottom pairing d-man. AHLers might fill the rest of the slots.

Better than team Russia.

Are we team Sweden now?

 

[Oilhawks]

Love the player, love the deal

Perfect winger for Leon. Said it in another post, I think these two could terrorize the league and be very hated by opposing fans (and players). Arvidsson has an agitator element to his game as well which you can never have enough of IMO

 

[Leonardlizard]

This is a great add.

 

[VainGretzky]

Arvidsson is a greasy player that goes hard to the net with a great shot has never played with a superstar he will put up 30 g and 35 apples if he stays healthy

 

[barry halls]

Thank you Jackson, he was number one on my FA wish list, such a perfect addition to this team as long as he can have some good health

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Good deal, hope he'll stay healthy. I bet he and McD will have some fun dangles in practice..

 

[McSuper]

Do we actually have a top 6 now.

RNH McD Hyman
Kane Draisaitl Ardvidsson

Maybe another add as I heard Kane has been asked to waive.

Don't need another top 6 forward and I don't think there is much left in that sense anyway outside of Chandler S.

At this point we need Janmark signed at minimum. Walker the dream add, Henrique a wishful add before settling for a Dumba, Hakanpaa or Boqvist on D.

 

[FlameChampion]

Just need him to stay healthy. Crosses fingers.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Upgrade on Foegele = good.

Still need a 3C and depth defenseman at minimum. And Janmark hopefully.

 

[Shizuka]

His health concerns are a bit of a worry, he hasn't played a full season and tends to get injured. However, he's a more consistent producer when he is in, decent speed and a bit of a shit disturber. A fine swap for the likes of Foegele. Decent signing, let's hope the guy stays healthy though because he's already 31 and given his history..

 

[OilfaninTO]

Would’ve preferred Fogs back at that contract. VA is made of glass & Fogs has chemistry with McDrai.

Lol. Arvidsson really does it all. D too!

 

[gordonhught]

I have come here to say that this is a good signing.

This player is a complete prick to play against.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I liked arvidsson 5 years ago. Hopefully he has some fuel left in the tank.

 

[Oilhawks]

I liked arvidsson 5 years ago. Hopefully he has some fuel left in the tank.

He sure did in the playoffs this year. Aside from Kempe, easily the Kings' best player

 

[Tarus]

Nice to finally get a top six right winger, Oilers have needed one for years now. Was painful watching guys like Foegele get plugged in that spot.

Hopefully he's fully healthy and recovered from whatever cost him 50 games last year.

 

[Shathar]

I like it when I come here and the site takes 10 minutes to load. I know that means something good is happening!!

 

[Oilhawks]

Not that we need any reminder of the type of goalscorer Arvidsson is, but looking at this video it's great seeing how many he scores from far out beating the goalie clean. Off the stick in an instant and also good on the rush. Gets in to the net when he needs to as well. Bit of an empty net assassin too which IMO gets a bit underrated in today's NHL when closing out a tight game.

Feels like a beefier and more consistent Yamamoto (sorry to whoever is offended by that comparison lol)

 

[KarmaPolice]

Really like this. If he can stay healthy, he's going to be a huge addition and will help solidify a really good 2nd line with Drai.

 

[Little Fury]

Love it, health is the only concern.

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Great signing and great contract value. If he stays healthy, we finally got Leon his winger!
