I don't see Sekera agreeing to it. The team would then have the power to let him sit in the AHL all year. Not saying they would, but I don't know that a player would take that chance.
do you guys know how much $$$ oilers need to move out to add sekera to the line up? 2.5 million is the number I keep seeing. So the oilers will be under the gun to move someone

It's only ~$1.2M needed to fit him in.
Thanks Chia for the Gryba buy out. Moron.
I was more referencing the theory of him waiving his NMC to stay longerNo they don’t. They can request him to play 2 more games and Bettman must agree as well. After that he must go on the active roster. Because of his NMC it has to be the Oilers roster. Because he’s missed so much hockey the last 2 years Bettman will probably agree to it.

Looks like Talbot is the chosen one since no one wants the 7M worth of garbage Chia picked up with his last trifecta of deals.
I've got an idea that's so crazy it just might work...
What if they send Sekera down to make room for Sekera?
If the team thinks Reggie could use a few more games in Bako after his conditioning stint to get up to speed and he agrees, could it work? No one is going to claim him off waivers(and woohoo if someone miraculously does!).
His NMC would a be a roadblock though. I don't know enough about the CBA to know if he could just waive it for this instance and keep it or if waiving it once gets rid of it for the rest of the contract. Obviously Reggie wouldn't want to lose it just for that.
Swap Pulju for Russell, bury Manning. $28k in capspace and a 23 man roster.
I'm pretty sure the league prefers to let teams get away with things like this. It's not like it's anything blatant.I'm kinda shocked the NHL wouldn't just say "oh he played 20+ minutes 3 games, why does he need more conditioning, he's already playing big minutes"
Who said Sekera looks slow? I'm watching the game right now and he is, by no means, slower than before. He looks the same to me
It goes back to when he had to play with a knee brace. I doubt many people have actually watched him this year
Those are some nice looking colors.
The Oilers could use a black 3rd jersey
The Oiler logo looked good on this year's all star jersey
