Trent Frederic

Knoblock will hate this guy. He actually hits which will piss Nobby right off. Not sure who Nobby will hate more, Frederic or JSkinner who doesn’t hit but scores goals, something else Nobby hates. Janmark is the perfect Nobby player. Skates a million miles and kills penalties but does nothing else useful.

Hopefully we can extend him but the Oilers are back to the Chiarelli-esque sign undrafted nobodies in Europe for peanuts and pray they aren’t total duds phase.

Sucks his ankle doesn’t look near ready for full contact yet. Not sure how effective he will turn out to be in a short window. Fully healthy would be a fun fan favorite to watch.

But we will have more Janmarks per Nobby. :sarcasm:
 
Trent Frederic with a Dimitri Samorukov-esque debut. 2 goals against in 7 minutes lol. At least we know that he's alive now?
Lol, good assessment. I saw a guy clearly still feeling his recent injury finish every check, get in scrums and go to the hard areas of the ice. An area the Oilers have been clearly lacking for awhile. If you want to pin the -2 on him then have at it. If he doesn't reinjure himself he will pay dividends in the playoffs, especially against the Kings.
 
Yeah you're right. Per PuckPedia, it's defined as days "in the regular season" - so I'm not sure it would work.

I checked the wording in the CBA and it mentions calendar days, but maybe there's an exception as the season comes to a close and further clarification is provided elsewhere.

The CBA says 24 calendar days, not 24 Regular Season Days.

However multiple sources have claimed the NHL is applying the rule as 24 regular season days. Possibly one of the many non-public rules interpretations the NHL and PA have agreed on.
 
Speaking of Samorukov, hes a guy I would continue monitoring progress in the KHL. As he enters his "defensive prime" maybe the light will go on. He has tons of assets that could lead to him being an effective D Man later on as he matures. His numbers on Moscow are middling so far but just keep an eye out


The Oilers are too proud for that though. They like doubling down on mistakes more than redressing them. (Not that trading him was a mistake at the time, but perhaps the draft and develop model failed him. Maybe we shouldnt be spending picks on Russians if we cant develop and bring them along, see Berezkin next. We'll see.)

Wouldn't Knoblauch have had input in who we traded for?

What's proof that Knob hates physical players? He loved Desharnais until he couldn't keep up with the play deep in the playoffs. He only stopped playing Kane because his health fell apart. Knob leans on Perry a lot considering his age, and his grit is likely a big reason why.

The team didn't hit a lot this season but look what Bowman and Jackson handed him at the start. Desharnais, Holloway, Foegele out. Skinner, Arvidsson, Stecher, Emberson in.
