Funny, because on the other side of that game the Oilers have Kellen Jones, who is also an itty bitty player. I wonder if the Jones twins were going to go UFA so they could sign somewhere together, and so this is the replacement?

They no longer have Reider coming in, so perhaps that opened up a spot for a small guy, or perhaps Arcobello is moving on? There's a lot of spots in OKC being occupied by some really long shot prospects.
Let's see...
Missed out on DeKeyser--top signing...Playing 17 minutes for Detroit.
Missed out on Laganiere (6' 4" C)...signed by Ana.
Missed out on 6'4" goalie Hartzell...signed by Pitts.
But we signed another 5'9" forward...Yep, sounds like the Oilers alright..
Just cause we want them doesnt mean we are going to get them. stop complaining about management when they are actually doing something positive

Meh. OKC move likely.
If be pans out to be an NHL forward, great. If not, whatever.
Its not like we didnt try for those guys, we gave it a shot and they signed else where. rather get a guy who can help out OKC than signing no one.

I dont understand why everyone is so negative about this. there is literally no downside to this signing.
- we gave up no assets
- its a 1 year ELC deal, if he sucks, its gone in a year
- if he cant make it in the AHL, he'll be sent to ECHL
It's as if some people don't quite understand the reasoning behind moves like this, and they're expecting it to be the equivalent of the first round of the draft. They'll complain about anything if it's someone they haven't heard of.
Or they think these signings are meant to bring in impact NHL players right away.
Either way, it seems ridiculous to me.

Again.Understand the impact, or lack of, really well...You bunch must be the MacT fanboys, out in force again. This is the same stuff we saw for years with the Oilers. J Schultz is the only good thing to come out of all the begging and he probably regrets it already.
This reminds me of the same..can't get anything any good (none of the high end players would sign with them) so get some consolation prizes and some of you thinks it's great and spouts the same garbage.. Wait until next year..these guys know what thye're doing...blah, blah,,,

So there were about 5 college players every team were trying to sign and we got 2 of them and you see that as a negative situation. In fact we got the most coveted one. This sort of post smacks of something I would read from a Flames fan.
