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.

who's playing top 4 defense beside Nurse?

Likely Emberson for now, which is a step down from the top pairing minutes (and positive goal share) he put up on the worst team in the league last year.

You have your knickers in a not for no good reason. Broberg was himself a risk for top-4 performance all year… at $4.6 there was zero chance to recover if he struggled.

Forgetting entirely the practicality that there was no way to keep him at that price, it was the right move to let him walk and bank cash for the deadline.

I wouldn’t get to caught up on this one… how do you make that work with our cap (unless Nurse).

Even at 50% (why would CHI do that?) we’d have to LTIR Kane now and hope for a slow recovery.

I don't see it at all. Even the article more says that Jones should be moved and that the Oilers should be in on him.

I doubt Chicago wants to do big retention. They probably like that they have someone to eat minutes. Maybe Jones wants out.

BTW I bet Jones would be great here.

I'd do Jones for Nurse no questions asked, but I don't think Nurse waives for Chicago, nor does Jones waive for Edmonton (doesn't want to play in Canada, very US-centric person).

What would it take to get Ivan Provorov from the Flyers? Would love to see him in an Oilers jersey
