We kept Henrique? I am happy

2yrs $3M per, a terrific deal and incredible day

 

[TheNumber4]

Brown - 2 x 3 mill
Janmark- 3 x 3 mill

Oh, look at that, time for my post work nap!

100% we overpay if this was Holland at the wheel. His negotiating is lazy and senile.

That's the reports - Henrique 2 years - 3 mill a season

GM Jackson great job

They are going from have to get rid of some money -- Kane?

 

[Jumptheshark]

goes without saying I am happy. We now have a legit 3rd line centre who can slide up and down the roster if need be

What a day from Jeff Jackson boys

Need an upgrade to the defence at the deadline and we’re set to make another run at it

To think this is the kind of shit we used to experience back in the day.
Thank you JJ for the cooking today.

I wish at work I negotiated with Holland.. I might be able to afford a house one day

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Any idea what the Perry performance bonuses are?

 

[VainGretzky]

What an exhausting day following the Oiler's moves great exhaustion though, my god how must JJ be feeling right now

 

[McJadeddog]

So guys

RNH - McD - Hyman
Skinner - Drai - Arvidsson
Janmark - Henrique - Brown
Holloway - McLeod - Perry

Ekholm - Bouch
Broberg - Ceci
Nurse - Stecher

The D is still not champ quality IMO, without Nurse having a big bounce back year, or Broberg having a big breakout year, but its certainly passable. We can add at the trade deadline if required.

That forward group, while somewhat old and not that fast in some spots, has insane depth, especially if Kane sticks around on LTIR and comes back for the playoffs. We aren't getting 100+ point RNH or 50+ goal Hyman again, but there is enough talent spread in the lineup where scoring goals shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Now we gotta figure out who is leaving? We have Broberg and Hollaway to sign and we are 2.5 over the cap..

Is Kane injured more seriously then we know?

 

[McBooya42]

I don’t see how oilers get away with LTIR Kane for playoffs so do the oilers trade him? Going to miss some size on the roster if that’s the case.

Kane + Bourgault + ceci for a D upgrade

Hip surgery? Very possible.

 

[Oilhawks]

What! Did Broberg go full Finnish now!?

Oops, "people incorrectly correcting other people"

It would then be 5! lol

 

[Shanahanigans]

it’s one thing for players to say it’s a tight room and they love playing here, it’s another thing for 4 or 5 players to take discounts because they love playing here. Been a long time since you could say that here.

Fayne. Got damn lol.

 

[larek]

Holland must be looking at these moves and is jealous

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Would you give a team Holloway if they took Ceci off our hands?

Absolutely not.

In a world where Ian Cole gets 3m, Ceci doesnt cost nearly that to dump.

I just figured out Janmark was Swedish this year. I always though he was Czechoslovakian.

I thought Janny was a farmer from Bawlf Alberta

JJ said he'll have to see a specialist and they'll go from there. Said his health and getting him healthy was the more important thing right now. Reading between the lines, he might be setting up an LTIR f***ery in the future.

 

[Broberg Speed]

having our two new skilled forwards helping with the breakout will help the defense corps in general

 

[bellagiobob]

WTF, I figured we were done for the day, so I go outside for an hour, come back and we've signed Rico. Just an incredible day for JJ. I know he doesn't want to do the daily travel with the team like a GM would, but when it comes time to signing guys, I hope he keeps this role as the chief signing officer. He must have a vacation booked for tomorrow, cause he basically got all his business taken care of in one day. Hopefully he's not flying Westjet to wherever he's going.

And that's why Oilers could make all the signings

 

[oXo Cube]

Still need to get 29 extended before we can call it a successful summer.

But all the moves today were pretty clearly made with a handful of incoming mega contracts in mind.
