You can't make this shit up, Stauffers entire show is literally just him talking about 80s enforcers.
Well, your theory would be a violation of FA rules and logically doesn't make sense, as Holland couldn't have predicted the future (of what cap space would have been available to offer for a contract).Grade 10 reading.
I said Hplland had the original offer out. JJ completed the negotiations.
I also said, neither one of us can prove our points
Come on man, you are smarter than that. Henrique was Oiler property until July 1. They can negotiate all they want.Well, your theory would be a violation of FA rules and logically doesn't make sense, as Holland couldn't have predicted the future (of what cap space would have been available to offer for a contract).
What you are saying is nonsense.
Boy, it sure doesn't sound like Holland had an extension already in place as you're thinking:
"Jackson on signing trade-deadline acquisition Adam Henrique to stay in Edmonton:
"I would say we're still working on that. It's to be determined, so we would love to have him back. We just have to find a way to do it. I'm sure he's got interest from other teams. He's an outstanding individual and he's a very good player. A veteran player. So we're working on it, but we're not at the finish line yet. We'll see how that goes."

Sounds like I missed a gooder, I could talk 80’s enforcers for hours on endYou can't make this shit up, Stauffers entire show is literally just him talking about 80s enforcers.
Tomorrows OilersNow pod will be a ratings hit if all the old white guys (like me) who are CFL fans can be pried away from the other thread…Sounds like I missed a gooder, I could talk 80’s enforcers for hours on end
Finally! You admit that there was no contract in place until JJ and Rico agreed to a deal. Sure AF (once again), Holland had nothing to do with it. JJ had been running the show for some time by that point. If you don't see that, I can't help you.Come on man, you are smarter than that. Henrique was Oiler property until July 1.

JJ is working on it, that is called negotiating.
Negotiations on the offer made earlier, probably with Holland ( JJ was aware for sure).Finally! You admit that there was no contract in place until JJ and Rico agreed to a deal.

Friedman said they'd like to bring him back. Everyone and their pet beagle knew this already. It was not expected to happen however, as it was figured he was out of our price range (as shown with one of my previous links). It was not expected that Rico would take such a pay cut, which is also why Oiler fans were so happy. Holland helped build the current culture, but sure AF was not involved in those extensions.Negotiations on the offer made earlier, probably with Holland ( JJ was aware for sure).
Let's talk cap, which you bring up alot.
Skinner signs out of the blue for 3 million, nobody expected that possibility.
Currently we are over by approx 400 K.
Without the Skinner signing, the signing of our 2 RFAs at 1.2 million each we would be just under cap. That is why the original offer to Henrique around 3 million, to keep us under the cap. JJ closed the deal. That is how I see it. Again, Friedman confirms Holland was to make the offer to keep Henrique here.
You could be right but I have heard they were thinking Ken would take an advisory role.Friedman said they'd like to bring him back. Everyone and their pet beagle knew this already.

JJ had been at the helm for some time, and Holland relegated to an "advisor" role. I don't know if you've ever rode out a contract you know is ending, and your replacement has already been doing your job for a while. You're not going to be making any important decisions...
I don’t really listen to hockey podcasts. Are they legit?
Wish they would just get it over with already.
I think they did offer it to him, but I also think he realized that he wouldn't be making any decisions at all. I can't see someone like Holland taking that role after supposedly being pushed aside.You could be right but I have heard they were thinking Ken would take an advisory role.
So Bowman or Lawton.Bob Stauffer says he expects the Oilers new GM to be someone who has already been in the chair before
So he might have still had somme pull after TDLI think they did offer it to him, but I also think he realized that he wouldn't be making any decisions at all. I can't see someone like Holland taking that role after supposedly being pushed aside.
He did own a team that won 5 cups.
Those banners are still hanging there. No buy low on Gretzky, no championships. No sell high, no hatred.
Truly stayed around long enough to be a villain.
After the deal the Alberta government announced $61 million in loans and loan guarantees for Gainers to help build a packing plant in Picture Butte, a plant that was never constructed.
I know everyone is freaking out about Bowman, but wonder if this is a hint at BotterillBob Stauffer says he expects the Oilers new GM to be someone who has already been in the chair before

Doubtful. I think JJ and Holland knew early on that he wouldn't be the GM moving forward.So he might have still had somme pull after TDL
You can't make this shit up, Stauffers entire show is literally just him talking about 80s enforcers.
Yep. He also held the role in Buffalo.I know everyone is freaking out about Bowman, but wonder if this is a hint at Botterill
Or Botterill.So Bowman or Lawton.
Hopefully a foreshadowing of us adding a shit kicker for our 4th line.You can't make this shit up, Stauffers entire show is literally just him talking about 80s enforcers.
That's f***ing terrible, utterly and completelyIt’s Stan Bowman guys…
