echl trade makes the board!!!!!

 

[belair]

Stop the presses.



Also D Mark Fayne assigned to Springfield (AHL) on loan.

 

[belair]

Damn. Missed it by seconds.

Remember when we hyped this guy as a future third liner? Weird times.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Does loaning Fayne get his contract off the books? Could be a move to get our plethora of AHL defensemen some playing time if not.

 

[Cloned]

Chia clearing that contract space...

yep

Anytime any player has one or two good shifts in pre season--I bring up chase

wont say which poster it was but they posted "he may just need 1/2 season in the A to be nhl ready" everytime I post that that poster gets mad at me

 

[ManofSteel55]

OMG, which Greg Chase post is the right one? Ha ha ha.

[ManofSteel55]

Doesn't happen often, but this resulted in a legitimate "who?"

As well it should for non-Oilers fans.

I think Florida gave too much on this one...that tells you all you need to know about Greg Chase, ha ha.

I'll be damned if HF gives Mike Leighton the limelight. This is Chase's day to shine.

Oilers tank confirmed.

 

[Agalloch]

so Oilers freed a contract spot. Another trade incoming?

Not necessarily. Chiarelli probably just wanted the open contract spot so he has flexibility to add someone if he needs to down the road. I don't see the Oilers making a trade when they have just turned the corner. Could be wrong of course, you can't predict what Chiarelli will do. This, coupled with Slepyshev and Walker both going down (or on waivers) could mean we are getting someone for a draft pick or something I guess.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

I don't think Chase has any NHL future, but is passable in an AHL role as a grinder, Florida was so low on their overall contract count I don't think this brings any risk to them, he was once a respected prospect a shot in the dark reclamation project.

 

[oXo Cube]

I have literally no idea who this guy is.

He's a PPG offensive forward.

In the ECHL.

The "hype" started when he was above PPG in the CHL in his draft+1 year. If you're wondering if we've learned, I think the answer is "no".

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I only know this dude exists because ive seen him while scrolling through ea sports nhl rosters

 

[Maukkis]

Edmonton's planning something. Waived Walker, traded Chase and loaned Fayne to the AHL.

My guess is ... please take Mark Fayne to play on your team and we will give you Chase for free.

 

[ShootIt]

Tallon with the big move to right the ship, for the ECHL squad.

 

[belair]

Literally dominoes.

Where Mark Fayne will be working in 2019.

 

[McDrai]

Technically another "loss" trade from Chia

ECHLer>nothing lol

well the Walker waiving opens up a spot to activate Sekera off IR ...placing Klefbom on IR does a few thing. 1) allows Klef to heal his injuries and 2) open a LD spot for Sekera. 3)Opens up another spot which allows Slep to come back up for the time being.

The Chase trade and Fayne loan has me thinking though. Oilers are now at 47 contracts.

Mike Hoffman + warm body baby!

 

[ManofSteel55]

I think moving Fayne to a different team just gives us the chance to play other guys who should be developing. Does anyone know if loaning him affects our contract totals?
