Draisaitl reminds me of Dirk Nowitzki. Big German with soft hands.

Yeah but he's slower than Klose at this point.

Frans Tuohimaa has signed a contract with Leksand. The team was relegated from SHL in 14/15, will play in Allsvenskan next year.

Good news, I'd say. I don't think there was going to be a spot for him over here.

The Oilers can retain his rights(with having him not count against the 50 contract limit) while he plays in a pretty solid league.

ironic because both klose and nowitzki are polish

Any thoughts on getting Marco Roy signed? Showed some grit last night and he seems like a descent support player. I have a feeling he is going back into the draft.

Personally I'd like to see us sign him.

If not he'd be a free agent. He is to old to go back into the draft.

No he's not. Into the draft he goes.

McDNicks17 · May 23, 2015

Players with Sept. 15 to Dec. 31 birthdays are only eligible for two drafts, so Roy would be a UFA if he went unsigned.

Interesting. I wonder if we could get him on a minor league deal

Didn't we still own his rights?

I noticed he had a decent year in the KHL and was wondering if they'd even try bring him back

He had a good year on a very Poor team. Had offers from several top KHL teams.

He mentioned in an article that he would like to go back to the NHL, but only after the Oilers do not have his Rights anymore.

Felt he never Got a good enough chance here.

Does it not change knowing that there is new men in charge?

That I do not know.

However, I Got the Feeling from the article that he was not a very big fan of the Way he Was treated.
I Think he felt a bit scapegoated.

I kinda remember things not going to well when he left, just thought maybe with new management and coaching he'd change his mind.

It's not a big loss by any means, but I'd be curious what he can really do with some real coaching

He's welcome to think that, but he did get opportunities to show his worth and did little with them.

The Oilers also put him on waivers at least twice, so every other team had a chance to grab him for nothing if they felt he was worth having.. As best I recall, he cleared both times.

He's a skilled player with excellent skating, but the NHL isn't for everyone.

Oh for sure, but as Digger12 mentions, NHL is not for everybody, and I tend to agree!

Larsen is a skilled player with good skating capabilities, he excells on big ice, and I think he ends up staying in the KHL.

I agree with what you write - I do think he was scapegoated in Dallas however.

He should stay in the KHL where he seems to fit well.

Gregor has a bit of a breakdown on UFA's. Interesting mention about voiding Gernat's last year, not sure if he as insight to this or if it's just his opinion.

nexttothemoon · May 31, 2015

I thought Larsen was likely underappreciated as well... not as a defenseman... he was pretty poor at that

... but his skating and offensive ability and hands were decent. I think he could have been a decent winger if they switched him over.

Saying that he really didn't have the size to be a decent asset on the Oilers as they had a smallish group of wingers already, but I think his speed and offense could get him another look on an NHL team... but on the big European ice he probably is at his best and he'll likely stay over there for the rest of his career.

We did play him on the wing

We gave it the ole'Eakins try.

I would have loved to see Larsen as wing under McLellan or even Krueger. Might get a Melker Karlsson type of performance.

Keven Bouchard has been traded to Baie-Comeau.
