That's the bold move he was talking about. Time to take the year off.

At this time of year it's either that or extend Whitney to a 5x5 deal.

I thought we were at the limit?

I thought we were at the limit?

As mentioned numerous times, these contracts don't count against this year. The players will sign ATO contracts if they play in the AHL.

If I read this properly... he's on a 1-year deal, so if he plays this season, he'll be an RFA this summer.

Yeah?

I dont think it counts yet. Could be wrong though.

 

[rasarhdasd]

I'm guessing he's heading to OKC? Is he a LW or C?

Numerous times? I spend a good amount of time on year and haven't seen that said yet.

Either way good to see we're going after college free agents. Miller was over PPG in Yale but he's undersized.

Stopped reading @ 5' 9".

 

[doulos]

Other than Chris Higgins, what other NHLers have played for Yale? Just curious.

 

[joestevens29]

Young Toby Peterson?

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Another smurf. 5'9'', 170 odd pounds at 24 years old? Give me a break.

 

[McSaviour]

so he is either 5'8,9, or 10 according to people here and twitter.. wheu another small forward to join the club

 

[Not Robin Brownlee]

i'll file this in the 'who cares' area.

Every time it came up about our 50 contracts and how we can't sign any college free agents because of it I go into this arguement. Unless the players are going to play in the NHL this year's roster #'s means nothing.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I wonder if he's been brought in as young, offensive help for the AHL level?

 

[GMofOilers]

awesome lol
i would rather have acrobella

 

[GMofOilers]

Riley Nash V4.0

Not much on the kid. Sounds like he's been pretty good at every level so far. These kids are real crap shoots IMO and rarely turn out, but it's a free prospect so can't complain.

Listed as 5'10 180lbs in that link.

I would have liked Antoine Laganiere but he signed with the Ducks?

Both were mentioned on Elliote Friedman's 30 thoughts column the other day:

2. With Hartzell signed, a couple of Yalies take centre stage: forwards Antoine Laganiere and Andrew Miller. Glenn Healy mentioned Vancouver, Winnipeg, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Nashville. The Predators have seen almost every game, apparently. Don't know as much about Miller, except that Washington is among the chasers.

 

[oilers2k10]

who cares about size for all we know he could be the next M.St.Louis, or he could be L.Reddox v.2014..Reddox was small but hit like a freight train.

IF he does turn out to be a player oilers could always move out a soft small player.

 

[MoneyGuy]

I thought we were at the limit?

If you mean the limit of small forwards, yes we are.

 

[Raab]

Anyone got any info on the kid?
