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

[780il]

I know both clubs pretty well. I'd have him as your 9th best forward as things stand right now.

For 750k? I’ll take it and run

 

[KlefDown]

I know nothing about him. Scouting report?

 

[Fig]

Is he a Jujhar replacement?

The guy so nice, he was drafted twice.

He's a tweener. Phenom AHL player.

Our farm could use a lot of help.

Oversimplified perhaps, but he's at least a Derek Ryan lite. He should be able to spend a bit of time on your roster.

Yup, all sharp deals so far for the Oilers I'd say. I miss Chiarelli...

That’s a hot take and a half.

I honestly always thought that was James Neal's mug.

 

[Double Dion]

I know nothing about him. Scouting report?

Really good defensive player. Good speed. Can play any forward position. Good on the PK. Injuries has been an issue in his development. He isn't terrible offensively. Can get you 20-30 points as a 3rd liner.

Basically a better version of Sean Monahan

 

[Double Dion]

That’s a hot take and a half.

The big 3, Yamamoto, Kassian, Archibald and Turris are definitely better. He's in the Chiasson/Puljujarvi category for me.

 

[HolyGhost]

Who

 

[ekcut]

Flames fans are pissed? I like the signing!

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Quine is exactly the kind of player you want on your bottom-6.

 

[Ctrain2k]

The big 3, Yamamoto, Kassian, Archibald and Turris are definitely better. He's in the Chiasson/Puljujarvi category for me.

I think he’s probably in the 12-15 range with Haas and Nygard but it doesn’t really matter lol still a really good signing.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Spectacular AHL numbers, if nothing else. Might even crack the roster as a 13th/14th forward.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Whoever is playing top line wing in Bakersfield is about to have a good season

 

[Double Dion]

I think he’s probably in the 12-15 range with Haas and Nygard but it doesn’t really matter lol still a really good signing.

He's a lot better than both those guys for me. Flames are a much deeper group than the Oilers.

 

[joestevens29]

Judging what Flames fans are saying maybe I should be a little more excited about this signing.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Holland continues to pick up his old Detroit failures.

Ya'll are definitely signing Abdelkader.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Holland had to get Quine back

I disagree Oilers have insane depth in terms of 4th liners we have like a dozen. Where we lack is middle 6ers which we might’ve addressed with Turris and Puljujarvi.

Damn, I liked Quine.

What does he bring to the table? Don't know much about this guy, he's 27 years old now so not a kid anymore. AHL/NHL tweener depth signing by the looks of it.

Pretty good AHL boxcars, which is good considering we severely lack forward prospect depth down there compared to our D pipeline. He'll almost certainly step into the 1st line on Bakersfield if he doesn't nab a bottom 6 type role with the big club.

Basically that. Was a tweener for us. Versatile guy that played up and down the lines at times and won't cheat you on effort.

 

[yzerman]

Forsberg has upside just get him the right confident

High compete, go hard every shift type player? Yeah, those are always popular in Alberta and our style of hockey we grow up with.

Seems like an AHL beast just looking at numbers alone.

Flames fans seem decently pissed about it, so I am assuming he's a serviceable player even if a tweener. We've have had terrible skill in the bottom 6 before today and the Pulju signing.
