Announce Saad

Have a feeling he could find chem with McDavid, then Nuge can center the 3L

He'll need to clear waivers first. The earliest we hear anything is tomorrow afternoon, which means the earliest he could draw in (if this is all real and not just his camp trying to drum up a bigger offer elsewhere) is...

Wait for it...

Next Tuesday against the Blues in St. Louis lol. How funny would it be for him to sign here but wait for us at "home" with his bags packed, ready to hop on the plane to Edmonton after the game?
 
My, a lot of tables are turn tableing.
Two years ago the thought of this dude being flushed down the toilet would be absurd.
He'll get claimed by a shit team and probably have a resurgence like Ghostbear and DeAngelo did for a bit anyway.

Typical oilers if they add Saad. Ignoring the real issues and biggestweakness(goaltending) while creating another issues with to mamy forwards upfront. Like some of said what's gonna happen when Kane comes back? Healthy Kane is an absolute must in the playoffs
lol what.
Is there a free goalie on the market they could add for cap only? That would be an improvement on one of our guys?

I believe the rules have changed so he won't have to go through waivers (just like Klingberg) Sign and play. The Ruotsalainen rule no longer applies.

He already cleared yesterday

Stauffer was talking about this yesterday. He already cleared yesterday and now they can terminate his contract

I don't think they can until tomorrow when he officially becomes a free agent.

Yes, but I believe that because his contract is being terminated, he needs to go through waivers again (as a formality)

I don’t think there is any appetite on doing anything with the goaltending by management. Stu and Dusty are full entrenched in this organization
Agreed, but I do think they will add a depth tender in case of injury to one of them

That’s what I thought too, they were called unconditional waivers, Stauffer’s producer asked the same question on air and Stauffer said no. The rules are so convoluted now, who knows anymore…lol

Pretty sure if Saad signs here it will come with some guarantee of a chance to play with McDavid or Draisaitl, which wouldn't be that hard to accommodate as basically no one has worked out great on Leon's wing this year (production wise).
The guy just got waived from a mediocre team and then contract terminated. I don't think he'll be making a lot of demands who he plays with no matter where he lands.
