Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Post Draft, Pre Free Agent Frenzy

They could sign a good vet at league minimum for that role, bring back Gagner for the good locker room harmony.

I'm usually glass half full but this is a dumb signing. Perry is cooked and the Oilers need to get younger and faster. If the contract was buriable then sure but this one doesn't seem to be.

Pretty much can be buried no? If he's in the AHL performance bonuses won't met bet and you can bury league minimum?

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Why would they go with Perry? Lol

Why would they go with Perry? Lol

He's a good character guy in the room

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Why not? lol

 

[foshizzle]

If Kane has a NTC isn't his right to not want to waive it?

Yep- totally his right. Absolute stupidity to give a guy with his history one.

 

[Oilhawks]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a team out there that was willing to give Perry 2 mil.

He's not very good, but clearly we'll respected around the league

This 100%. He definitely could have gotten more if he wanted to elsewhere. Would be great to have it as league min but this isn't much more, especially since a decent chunk is a performance bonus (assuming playoffs related)

 

[alphahelix]

just to make sure there wasnt enough money lying around to sign any good players. and the performance bonus can push to next year to make resigning draisaitl harder so its a win win

 

[Shizuka]

People acting like Perry got 2 million. 250 k of his salary is in bonuses. Meh, it's not the worst.

Because they're tight to the cap and the valuable space could be expended elsewhere, I'm pretty sure that's the source of the sore spot for quite a few fans. His work in the playoffs was less than inspiring. I will say him beaking off at Kane and also what he said about sucking it up and keeping your mouth shut whatever the role you're given, speaks to his on ice professionalism.

He just wasn't very good in his time here thus far.

 

[VainGretzky]

Oilers must have the lowest cap hit for Goalies in the league not counting Campbell buyout

How do.they sign perry before fking Janmark FFS

Perry will only play about 50 games this year if that. He will be our spare

 

[FunkyChicken]

Depends on what the bonuses are. Are they meaningful games played/performance metrics, or are they fluff metrics to allow us to push part of the hit to next year.

I'm just surprised, he didn't do a lot this year. $1.4 total seems really high.

Outside of his first 10 games, he was pretty much a net negative.
Think he could be more effective if his ice is managed. No back to backs, rest every third game...

Decent player with a big voice in the locker room.

 

[Oilhawks]

How do.they aign perry before fking Janmark FFS

Probably because Janmark has to decide on if he wants to get the bag or not. I'm sure he has plenty of interest given his playoff performance, speed, PK utility etc

 

[TheNumber4]

Edmundson is a 30 year old bottom pairing Dman. That contract both term and AAV is crazy, If you're giving a player like that term, you get him at around 1.5-2m. 3.8m over 4 years is baffling.

Contract sucks. But I think he's a good player. Probably better than Ceci.

 

[Shizuka]

Please don't neglect Janmark, man. That guy, along with Brown, were damn near the best players in the most important games. Re-sign him already, Jackson!

 

[TheNumber4]

That was Brown. Already done and signed.

"smaller guy" though?

You sure?

 

[foshizzle]

Seravalli calling J. Brown’s contract 2 years too long…lol after Stauffer was pumping his tires

According to Rishaug this morning there's a multi year extension offer on the table. Probably just deciding what to do or what other offers he can get.

3x

3x1 per is my guess

 

[Bryanbryoil]

If we wanted to move Kane out it would be wise to try and trade him before buying him out obviously.

 

[Reilly13]

He said a puck mover and this was after Brown was signed.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Because you don’t hold up your off season for a 4th liner. He for sure has his offer and just needs to decide if he wants to take it or not.

 

[YakDavid]

Perry’s offence on the team was okay. Pace was 28 points and 16 goals.
