If this were true someone would've signed him by now IMO. If we let his rights expire without even attempting to sign him that would be a fireable offense.

 

[McTonyBrar]

We drafted him 2 years ago. We have him for 4 years. Who is this puckpedia tool?

 

[GOilers88]

That feels like someone dropped the ball and then ran it over.

He’s in a weird situation because he was drafted out of North America, playing in the USHL that year. CHL players only have their rights for 2 years post draft, but Euros is 4. But since he went back it’s confusing if it’s 2 or 4 years they’d have him for.

Apparently we don’t have his rights anymore. Why didn’t Holland sign him!?

I’m not sure if him being drafted at 19 changes anything, but normally they’d have to re-enter the draft, so they can’t be signed by someone else.

We might have to re-draft him if we accidentally missed the signing deadline.

 

[Beerfish]

Traded away a lot of our picks.
Few good legit prospect forwards.
Lets one of the few guys that give a bit of prospect optimism, walk for free it seems?

Solid team building.

I don't get this, at all. Say what you want about Holland but he's very thorough and I highly doubt that he'd misinterpret this rule. To let a promising prospect go for no reason doesn't make sense to me.

It’s just a very weird situation. Hopefully one of the media guys can dig a little deeper and find out what happened.

I do wonder if the date got moved and no one has been clear on it.

Maybe they are working on a deal, who knows.

Stauffer hasn't mentioned him, ever, as far as I know. He probably doesn't know or care that it happened since Blumel isn't Canadian.

Apparently when we drafted Blumel, the plan was for him to go to NCAA. But, he decided not to and went to Czech Republic. I guess that brought his years down and we decided to let him go? I don't understand this

He mentioned it today

 

[Stud Muffin]

f*** man Blumel’s a future nhler this is annoying

 

[AddyTheWrath]

He mentioned it today

What'd he say?

 

[McTonyBrar]

What'd he say?

I honestly have no idea how it makes sense. He said that since Blumel didn't go to NCAA and went to Czech Republic, we decided not to sign him... How does that make sense?

Well if Stauffer is saying we didn't sign him, that solves that mystery.

I get there was a disconnect with where the Oilers wanted his career to go, but to just drop him?

 

[MoontoScott]

@oilers'72

Any good reads or players we should be looking at for our draft ? Your our Less Nessman . I mean that in a good way as well. You have done a great job in the past with our prospect writings

How is the health these days?

Wasn't Less the weather guy?

That’s weird… I guess they wanted more time before having to give him a contract, but I mean he earned one in my opinion.

Maybe it was a situation where he didn't want to play overseas/North America?

Like you said, very odd.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Sounds like he wanted to stay in Czech Republic

I mean, that is my guess, but we should probably get a better source than a HFBoards poster with a fairly dubious record.

Agreed

I don't believe he's free to sign with another team right now. By the CBA rules he should be re-entering the 2021 draft. If undrafted then a team can sign him.
