I dig Jacksons aggressiveness.

Fantastic

Janmark and Brown sticking around is great news. Both are huge parts of the locker-room, the PK, and I genuinely think Brown surprises many people this year.

Arvidsson is a great add, assuming he's healthy.

I like the offense of Skinner, I hope he buys into the two way system. Especially when he looks around the locker room and realizes he doesn't need to do it all himself. Nobody expects him to be top 3 in goals on the team.

Something else still has to give though right? Skinner on board means Kane gets dropped in the lineup, can't imagine he'd want that. Numbers aren't working currently are they.

 

[Vagabond]

Janmark for 3 years. Pretty solid!

 

[bobbythebrain]

Ummm… can afford this?

JJ is not an actual GM, so the cap doesn't apply

 

[Skolman]

Janmark!!! Let's go, love it

 

[Patch101]

That's it, perfect UFA day. ( wow ... )

 

[snipes]

Our forward group is holy shit stacked

 

[McSuper]

I posted 10 minutes ago I heard the Oilers offer Janmark a multi year contract

Maybe this helps him with one of two things - waive to go play somewhere that will give him the minutes, or - come into camp pissed off and in amazing shape.

 

[VainGretzky]

Get rid of Ryan my most hated Oiler and every player on the roster is either a Canadian or a Swede

July 1st is so much more fun as contending team compared to the days of overpaying for the Ben Eagers of the world.

Lol

Oilers used to be up against the cap ceiling and competing for the lottery.

How times have changed and we're lovin it

 

[syz]

Okay, Janmark being back strangely makes me feel a lot better. Need a 3C, basically. That 2nd pairing defenseman will have to be a TDL thing, hopefully with a bit of LTIR manipulation on top.

 

[McBooya42]

Lol 11 flipping players signed today

 

[Hollywood55]

We are even better than the team that made the cup finals. Crazy

 

[TheNumber4]

Could this be a sign that our organization is now more analytics focused.

At the TDL, our analytics guy Mahe informed Holland we were 28th in the league for finishing. A piece of information that seemingly went ignored by Holland at the TDL.

And now we get a huge injection in offensive skill and shooting talent.

You will hear no Tarasenko/Toffoli pining from me this year. We have more than enough up front now.

Probably gonna go 12 F, 7D to start the year.

Think they will nudge and eventually force him to waive his NMC.

Not necessarily

Skinner-McDavid-Hyman
Kane-Draisaitl-Arvidsson
Holloway-RNH-Brown

is my top-9

 

[Morpheus]

So many peeps were whining about not having a GM hired….lemmings lol

 

[AlbOilFAN]

McLeod gets traded right now

 

[Darkwinter]

McDavid must be sporting wood

 

[TheNumber4]

Yep, very smart proactive trade and I really like the prospect too.

Jeff Jackson should just appoint himself as GM. This is the best offseason the Oilers have had in years, maybe since '05?

Yep. Loved the proactiveness of it too. They saw a guy they loved, they made their move to ensure we got him.

I love the prospect too. But I just love the guts on display by making that move.

Kane has shown (eye test and analytically) he cannot produce outside of the top two lines. He also has no chemistry with Drai. So he should be on the top line with 97 and 18. Draisaitl gets the two new wingers. Nuge centres Brown and Janmark. Fourth line to be determined.
