Love this move.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Go LB! Give'er ****.

 

[duul]

Nice.

 

[OilTastic]

good! LB deserves a good look and the way Nilsson has played the last few months, he doesn't deserve to be here anymore.

 

[DerpMorg]

The one player we should have kept away from this ****ing dumpster fire and we bring him up. Here come the Oilers.

 

[GMofOilers]

Chai and TM arent scared to use the farm.

Does LB start tomorrow? I would give him the start.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Good move.

Allows Brossoit to get a chance, allows Nilsson to gain confidence back.

Oilers couldn't outright deal Nilsson yet because Laurikainen isn't ready to be an AHL starter.

 

[Aceboogie]

Great news. I was at LBs first (and only) NHL game last year, and let me tell you he was amazing live. Simply incredible and faced 50+ shots. I dont expect him to play as well as that in any of his games, but itll be good for him to get 2-3 games of experience

I think he is the goalie of the future. Hes raved about at the AHL level and just seems to have protypical NHL goalie build/style

 

[Forgot About Drai]

I think Nilsson will be gone by trade deadline

 

[oXo Cube]

Nilsson's stance in training camp was NHL or Europe right?

Not sure he will report.

 

[Aceboogie]

Hes probaly2 years away from taking over. But some games this season, 5-15 next year and maybe 30 season after

 

[Canovin]

Hopefully Schultz isn't around to spoil his 1st game 1st shutout history in the making again

 

[Fairy McGodfather]

Looking forward to seeing him play!

Yeah also because getting NHL experience is bad

 

[ChaoticOrange]

About god damn time.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

That just depends on what team you play for. You might see where I'm going with this.

 

[DerpMorg]

Yeah also because the Oilers are really great at providing NHL experience to young players with a solid plan in terms of how to develop that experience into actual skill development

Brossoit faces 33 shots per appearance on average in the AHL this year.

He's used to getting peppered.

With half the Leafs players traded and Kadri probably suspended?

He won't get a softer landing spot. I'd do it.

Brossoit faces 33 shots per appearance on average in the AHL this year.

He's used to getting peppered.

On a team where we have brought up most of their good players.

His first start here he almost single handidly beat the Kings.

 

[Mr Positive]

If he gets shelled I don't think that would be so bad. Drai had a rough time last season and it pushed him to work even harder on his game.

Brossoit looked really good in his game with us last season, and I doubt we would play worse than we did in that game. We gave zero support to Brossoit in that game and he still got the win, and almost a shutout

It didn't even look like a phenomenal game for Brossoit and didn't look like he was struggling. He calmly made saves and was poised.

He has the capabilities to be an extraordinary goalie.

Wasn't he an ahl all star this year? Yes i know Hunt was too but it's more impressive for goalies.

Edmonton needs an emotional injection, too, and teams rarely come together and battle harder than they do for a young goalie looking for his first win.

Remind me what happened to that shutout again?
