Player Discussion Tyler Pitlick

[backhandsauce]

Does anyone know what his status is?

Wish he was healthy for the playoffs. Could be our '06 Pisani.

Is there a chance he could come back?

Hope to hell we don't overpay him like we did to Pisani But I agree, he could be a huge boost to the team.

 

[CornKicker]

ACL is usually 4-6 months rehab which is what i think he injured.

I think he "could" be a hybrid between Pisani and Torres in the playoffs. I can see him scoring clutch goals and laying out big hits.

It's a damn shame what happened. He was playing unreal.

Next season country.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Maybe they could try to transfer some of Nurse's healing factor to him.

or a whole new body?

Poor guy is maybe the most injured prone player I know.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

The injuries suck. He is a very solid 3rd liner.

 

[belair]

The injuries suck. He is a very solid 3rd 4th liner.

Let's be honest here. The guy was awesome before he went down but he was absolutely useless when played beyond his ability. He can't handle the puck for ****. He's a fourth liner through and through.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Nope he's done for the season, and is a UFA so might be done with the Oilers as well.

 

[McNuge]

He is a RFA

 

[PaPaDee]

He is a RFA

Nope, UFA.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nope, UFA.

Yep same thing as GlenX years ago; 25 years old without 80 NHL games played I believe.

I could see them giving him a Lander like contract. Two years at just under a million per. An easily buried contract, but still more than he would make if he went to Europe.

I'd love to get Pitlick back for the playoffs, but I'd be concerned about his speed (knee injury and all). I'm not sure he's a guy that can excel if his not as fast as he was.

Done for the year yet again.

Oilers need to make a decision on him. He just can't stay healthy

Excuse my bluntness, but no s*** they need to make a decision. He's a free agent. So of course a decision will be made.

In all seriousness, I do understand what you mean, I'd personally resign him for 1 more season.

Do the oilers Q him at this point in time. 25 years old and in the games he plays he is good. Since turning pro in 2011 i think he has missed nearly 200 games due to injury.

14+32+26+45+39+51.

It is adding up.

 

[Draiskull]

Would suck the Flames sign him and he stayed healthy. I Ddont see a reason to not sign him.. if he gets injured so be it..

 

[thadd]

He's an incredible 3rd liner especially when you consider all of the injuries he's suffered.

I know it's not our right to know the ins and outs of the players' life off-ice, but I'd REALLY like to know what Pitlick's routine is like.

You guys think he's just naturally injury prone or that he could fix himself up via dieting or working our differently?

 

[BleedingOil]

1 year 1 million

 

[fancy dan]

coulda shoulda woulda...cut bait

 

[McFlyingV]

coulda shoulda woulda...cut bait

That would be dumb. Even if he gets injured again, all he costs you is a spot on the 50 man roster and he won't be much more expensive than what you can bury (may be cheaper than that even). He adds speed, physicality and a good shot to the 4th line when he's in, and absolutely should be re-signed if he's willing to. I'd even give him a 2 year deal if it brings the cap hit down under 950k, as he's already proven he is a very good 4th line player who can give you all the elements I spoke of.

 

[Psychoil]

Is this injury going to hurt his progess ? I just want this old pitlick back next year

 

[Kalost]

or a whole new body?

Poor guy is maybe the most injured prone player I know.

let me introduce you to Tyler Benson. maybe we need to stop drafting Tyler's

ACL is usually 4-6 months rehab which is what i think he injured.

ACL is longer typically 8 months.

Tpitts is not returning this season period.
