Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] Alan Quine and Anton Forsberg sign with the Oilers

[WhatTheDuck]

I had Quine circled as a possible Derek Grant replacement for the Ducks. He was a smart, mature 200 foot player in junior and I can see him finding favor as a bottom sixer if he gets the opportunity.

 

[Draiskull]

You bums up north... You'll like him. Good 200 foot player, he was under utilized here. I think he'll score 25-30 points and help on your pk if he's in a 3rd line role.

in the AHL or is this guy a legit NHLer?

 

[Marky9er]

Holland continues to pick up his old Detroit failures.

Ya'll are definitely signing Abdelkader.

Quine wasn't a failure. Kenny failed to sign a half decent prospect. (Until now)

Same calibre of player IMO.

I think he could be NHL regular, but 30 seems a bit high. Maybe 15-20 points as 4th liner with some time in 3rd line when injuries happen.

He's 27 years old and has as many points in his career.

He's a dud.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I'm digging what EDM is doing so far today

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Signing Forsberg is solid. Much needed AHL starter and #3 for the Oil, goaltending on the farm was some unnecessary trouble last season.

Does he PK?
Hopefully he can bring for Edmonton what Toby Rieder brought for CGY after leaving Edmonton

bottom 6 is pathetic in Edmonton. He will get all the opportunity.

Yeah the Condors need goaltending help after Starrett was injured and basically retired this offseason.

I think we have different definitions. The fact he made it at all is a success, I'm not lamenting losing him. Career earnings look good to me. To me he was a good prospect who had to take a back seat to Austin Watson (iirc) at that time. Happy for him.

 

[Patmac40]

Good cheap depth. I like this move for them as well

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Forsberg gives up alot of softies

If he is just AHL then its not problem but if he finds himself on NHL roster at some point Oiler fans will cringe when he plays

 

[Deen]

Quine is actually decent. Hurts a bit to lose him. Good responsible bottom 6 player.

 

[SwedishFire]

Well, thats good. Its like the 9th 3rd 4th line forward oilers got. But I like this one.

Will Sheahan be back?
For certain. Kassian (newly signed!!??!!)or Chiasson needs to go. waste of cap.

 

[ManofSteel55]

You are going to like him as 4th liner / 13th forward, like others have said

Yeah, but how many 13th forwards do we need?

 

[King 88]

Yay edmonton you got your swedish goalie

 

[lakai17]

Hope Forsberg is ready for nhl time in Edmonton.
