Agree. “If the car brakes can’t be fixed, then make the horn louder” school of hockey management.
I love Kulak at 3LHD, he always shows well in the playoffs. Good player to have in that spot.
Nurse is where the obvious trouble arises.
And….run over Cole Schwindt in the process!I want Lavoie to score against the Knights this season. Please hockey gods, make it happen!

Gregor being wrong? Who would’ve thought

Not so fast! He was claimed by (Florida?) a team higher than us! Someone is messing with our cap space!

Is it the regular season standings that matter or do the playoffs impact the ranking?
You're right that's if it's the latter then Florida must be the culprit.
It's the regular season standings. One of Rangers, Starts, Jets, Hurricanes, Panthers, Nucks, Bruins, Avalanche.
Hurricanes, Avalanche and Stars the only teams with the cap space and roster space to add him without having needed to make an extra roster move.

You can't tell me these teams aren't colluding to screw with the Oilers.

Vegas did the Oilers a favour by taking him for 24 hours. We were able to maximize the LTIR recapture by bringing up Wright and Savoie and not worry about Lavoie cap hit.
Now with Lavoie on the roster once Jarventie is sent down they will have approx $400K that can accrue to approx $1.8 million by deadline.
I'm not a fan of only having 12F on the roster. The skaters in the bottom six (or maybe Skinner) sometimes need the motivation that their spot can be taken by the healthy scratch.

At this point try playing Lavoie and seeing what you have with him.
If he looks okay then that’s great. If not, if you lose him on waivers so be it.

With a number of Oiler forwards who are older (lots of mileage and fatigue) you will inevitably get some injuries so give up some cap space on Lavoie and then perhaps he can spend some time in the top 6 if/when the need arises.
Please don't give him up to the Panthers and the mega-rat if indeed its the Panthers who have put in the claim.

I don't see anyone else tweeting about this so maybe he's wrong? I hope he's wrong!

Yeah, this is kinda how I see it playing out. Try him out every second game, and if he sticks then great. If not, well, you won't care about losing him anyhow at that point.
Thats way less deadline cap than we were planning. It screws us either way. Either we lose Lavoie or we lose cap at the deadline.
I posted the Puckpedia tweet. But it’s Gregor so it’s probably wrong.

I was just saying the same thing I have never in my life heard of this situation occurring at any time. Seems the mantra this year is to make sure the Oilers can’t make a deadline acquisition that puts them over the top. It’s like the league sent out a memo to the other 31 teams that we got too close last year and it can’t happen again

Sometimes miracles
That team, almost without question, was Vancouver.
It could have only been the following teams.
Rangers
Stars
Canes
Jets
Panthers
Nucks (ding ding ding)
Bruins
Avs
Actually huge question, impossible for them to claim them. Rangers, Stars, Hurricanes, Jets, Panthers, Canucks, Bruins, Avalanche were behind us in the standings. Only teams that would have the cap hit to add Lavoie is the Hurricanes, the Avs and the Stars.;
