I wonder if it’s the oilers or rattie that wanted a one year

Can understand why each would want a one year

Nothing to whine about unless dollar is unexpectedly crazy. If he can put up 40 pts for 975 or so and give cap happiness on our first line it's a coup. If he can't it's a useful player that can be buried in OKC without counting against cap.

As BBO said, two would have been nice, but I wont complain for this at all.

Question for the cap gurus out there. (Calling @Fourier)

Rattie was a group VI UFA. Which means that because he had fewer than 80GP in the NHL by the time he was 25 he became a UFA.

If he hits 80 career games next year would he go back to being an RFA at the end of the season? He wouldn't qualify for being a group VI free agent anymore and he wont have enough pro years (7 required) or be old enough (27) to be a normal UFA. Or is it a case of once you become a group VI UFA there is no going back?

good signing. Rattie gets a 1 year to prove himself, will be hungry.

I feel the negotiations were the Oilers were offering more for 2 years, Rattie wanted 1 and the Oilers cancelled with less money.

1 year allows him to prove himself and the cap is low enough where it doesn't hurt is at all.

I think we're starting to see the Chia action plan Bob's Burgers was talking about.

1) Have press conference
2) Sign Rattie dirt cheap
3) ??????
4) Playoffs in 2019
