Cool Leon is averaging well over a pt per game in the playoffs!
Those are pretty long one-touch passes. Impressive.
LD in the AHL next year and Yak takes a step fed then Hall LD Yak as a line very nice I would say
So why is Marco Roy not signed. Is it the Oilers.balking or is he wanting to re-enter the draft? I know his offensive totals were not great this year but he has turned into a versatile centre which we do not have enough of.two goals tonight by the way.
just watched the Soo destroy the Storm in game 4.
Nurse looks pretty deadly.
Rushed the puck with aplomb.....shut down forwards with aplomb and basically just glided around the ice sheet with aplomb.
But really,....a few interesting things of note.
Having a "nasty defender" sounds cool but I was amazed at how effective his dirt was. Most of the time he was reserved and just playing hockey but I remember one play where a storm player got him off balance in a battle against he boards and Nurse gave him what looked like a vicious back-punch. The guy got the puck to the point but looked emotionally shattered afterwards and just stayed away from Nurse and the play for the rest of his short shift.
Another thing, Nurse was playing in front of the net on the PP....almost every time. Scored a goal from there.
Weird.

Welp seems like i'm reading Slepyshev just signed a 2 year contract in the KHL.

Yup. Probably not coming over anytime soon. Sucks, but if it's true that he has a newborn it's not that weird that he wants to stay at home. Not necessarily a bad thing though, two more seasons in the KHL will make him better and maybe he can join the team 17/18 just as when the Oilers are starting to get better (Nurse, Draisaitl, 3rd overall starting to get their feet wet etc). Could be good timing.
Until 2017.How much longer do we own Slepyshev's rights for?

Forgive me, if a prospect goes back to the draft, is there compensation or was it a wasted pick?
I am curious, I noticed Chicago gets another 2nd rounder this year for Kevin Hayes going unsigned. Just wondering if there was special circumstance for this.
