Confirmed with Link: F Lane Pederson signs with Oilers (2 Years, 775k AAV)

[Bryanbryoil]

Pedersen also had a solid finish to his season with the jackets, so full money was probably the minimum from most teams

Did he finish the season with the big club?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I’m guessing it‘s just that it wasn’t his only offer of a one way deal

Maybe, but he was clearly someone that we liked to pony up that extra $250K or so.

 

[Senor Catface]

Did he finish the season with the big club?

He did. He played until March 30, when he was injured in a fight, which ended his season.

Thanks, any idea of the injury and who he fought?

It just said upper-body.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Yes, at least the regular season, they might have sent him down for the AHL playoffs

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Concussion or whiplash I'd guess. He got dropped.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Yeah he should... maybe not be fighting haha.

Pederson's really interesting to me. He's been on that "too good for the AHL, not good enough for the NHL" cusp for a couple seasons now. Hopefully he can take that step. It might be him vs Lavoie for a roster spot.

Huh ?

This guy is an outcast who couldn't even make the Canucks roster is now making nearly 800k with the Oil ?

Surely we could have spent the money elsewhere ?

It if it's 2 way then all good.

They still can spend the money elsewhere, his cap hit can be buried, the 2 way contract is irrelevant.

Katz has never cared about 800k being buried in the A if need be

 

[Beerfish]

Another totally needless 2 year deal. But that is Kenny boy.

And just bury him in the minors simply does not wash, we have a host of players people keep saying, oh just bury him. The oilers have been pinching pennies for years now so every contract counts

Pinching pennies or navigating the cap? They can send down his entire contract

I think Kenny made it a 2-way contract while he was on Be a GM mode

How is that navigating the cap? The AHL is not and should not be a dumping ground.

Total bottom of the roster players should not be getting two years deals. Half the guys Holland has signed for multi years we are trying to escape form them 6 months later.

Do you not want the AHL team to be competitive? These types of deals are commonplace in the league and there is absolutely no financial impact to the Oilers.

Don’t know why you’re so bent outta shape about it

Why? We need to attract talented AHL players.

Every team signs players on one way deals for the AHL team.

I am assuming that hes going to be in the AHL to start the year (unless we have injuries in training camp). I think the AHL team needs some C with some more offense. He had 17G in 18G last year in the AHL which is pretty good. I'd personally prefer guys like Petrov, Borgault, Savoie, Tullio etc play with someone like Pederson than Malone/McKegg. Why did this team even sign McKegg? Never understood the signing then and I dont understand it now lol.
