I think Backlund would be a great fit on this team....

I know its cliche so go ahead and mock me, but Kane really will be an excellent "TDL addition" when he is back. With Kane, Kostin and of course Ragin' Nuge the Oilers can do some damage.

Fair enough, that's a risk with a lot of teams though. In any case I probs would've tried to beat the price for Bertuzzi but not the end of the world.
Definitely a big risk with Bertuzzi. I will say though he tends to be more useful when he's not scoring than AA whereas AA's only value is goals.
Do we even know the story with him? He went on player assistance program, was waived immediately, then hasn't been played since. I would not pull the trigger on him unless we know exactly what happened there.

I would shit. Everywhere.
I can't imagine what the acquisition cost would be though seeing what Bertuzzi just went for.

Pricey but the perfect fit. There would have to be retention. No two ways about it but I've always liked the player. One of the best kept secrets in the NHL.
Now we have Ekholm I'd wager he'd lift his NTC.
Sucks that Bertuzzi is gone. Big price to pay for a rental
The Head Crusher
Re-retired
With an aging core, they want 1 last kick at the can before they start a rebuild I guess.

Namestnikov is a guy I've advocated for adding at many points in his career often likening him to a poor mans Nuge.
The issue though is he hasn't been good this season and he was in an ideal situation in TB with easy comp and easy zone starts on a good team and didn't really have it work out. My gut is saying we should steer clear of him, but him being our depth addition feels like a very Holland kind of move.

Excited to see who we bring in! Looking at our stats the last 25 games I think we have a real shot. Maybe too much hopium this morning but whatever let's goooo.

Frank the Tank

Then they re-sign Pasta for 8 years at $11.25M per season.
He looked pedestrian in his two Alberta games; guess even the superstars have stretches where they are off.

For the Oilers? Not a chance, that guy barely looks like an NHL player. Mike Hoffman would be more likely.
Also that Pasternak contract actually seems pretty reasonable considering what the guy has been doing in the league
He's had a pretty crappy season so far as well but obviously a different thing joining a cup chasing Bruins team lead by Bergeron. They clearly hope he can return to last year's form in a new setting.
We need playoff performers, not playoff bench warmers.
