I disagree that he is good. Being successful in the KHL isn't that big a deal. The Oilers have taken on the label of accepting anyone to play whether it was anti-vaxers or Kane after his issues with the team or Perry after his rumored issues. Imo we would have offered DeAngelo a deal in a second if the truth of him is that he was a great player that was avoided just because he was a jerk

I think they more care about what the players think when it comes to personality issues. A guy like Deangelos entire issues stem with how he treats teammmatws

Thanks for the correction. I seem to be confusing those 2 players (Kemp and Philp).
Based on what you have seen so far do you think that Philp has any chance of securing the 4th line centre spot?

Not who you asked, but at this point not only does Philp have a shot at 4C, but I'd argue he's the favourite to win it. Great preseason from him so far.

I havent watched a single pre season game but I am hearing good things about RHD Philp.
Here is an example...



When you get a writeup in the Cold Lake Sun thats really a sign you are turning some heads.

Philp's comeback story forcing Edmonton Oilers to take notice

I suspect you meant RHC.

If Tyson Barrie can't get a contract from LA after that Doughty injury...

The fact that its coming out now that there are concerns about their right side from management means they thought they had the guys to mitigate needing a deangelo which looks like was the wrong decision.

I really really want to believe management doesn't know less than all of us fans.
