Recalled/Assigned: Colby Cave Recalled

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

I figure either Neal isn't ready to go still but the Oilers would rather have a bottom 6 type of player up instead of Benson

Benson needs to play more then 4th line minutes

Welcome back Colby, not sure if its because of Neal or filling in for jujar ?

Hopefully the latter, send a message to Khaira that if he's not going to work hard to stay on this team Tippett/Holland will bring somebody up that will

Given Khaira‘s PK numbers that someone in a different thread pointed out, he’s unlikely to go anywhere. He is the best PKer on the team, apparently

Cave is not an nhl player. Russell isn't really either but I prefer him even over Cave.

Hopefully he just watches from the press box.

He's an easy guy to leave there.

 

[FlameChampion]

I hope hes not taking Haas spot in the lineup. :/

The Cave of Wonders!

Bear to Cave please

Precautionary Colby McCaveid.

I would have preferred Currie to either.

Benson needs to improve his acceleration and skating. He was probably the slowest AHL all-star - it was really noticeable in that free flowing game that he lacks wheels.

Colby Cave and Markus Granlund are the two best forwards on the Condors... and that's sad.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I'll go on record as saying that I like what Cave brings to the table and that IMO he is a NHL depth player. I've been wanting to see Cave-Sheahan-Archibald for some time.

As they should be... as our real prospects develop.

are you @keyantonyo? if so, good work down there.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Cave is ok as a bottom 6 center. He is good at face offs and brings a good work ethic. I'm sure it's not a permanent thing

 

[AUAIOMRN]

I don't even know what that means but no

 

[nexttothemoon]

I like Cave's effort level... just too bad he's got near PRussell level stone hands.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Honestly, why not bring up Currie as well who's #2 in the AHL in shots... maybe some of that offense generation clicks here at the NHL level with a better level of teammates to cash in on rebounds/deflections etc.

We don't need a RW.

 

[nexttothemoon]

We don't need a RW.

Well it's not as if all the other right shots on this team are filling the net either... and I'm sure you can stick a guy like Currie anywhere in the bottom 6 on the wing and just see what he might add to the mix, regardless of the side they shoot from.

@keyantonyo is a guy on Twitter who is doing a great job of covering the Condors. He has been advocating for Curry to be the next call-up after Benson.
