Nice deal for them

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

2 way?

Or a good old 2 way in year 1 and 1 way in year 2?

1 way. but doesn't matter because all contracts under 1m can be buried in minors basically

He's not very good, but he's good and he's making less egregious errors as the season goes forward.

"he's not very good he's in his first NHL season"...... Did you expect him to be a shining star in his first year?

Yamamoto wasn't very good his first year either lmfao

I'm just saying he is worth his contract. Not saying I expected him to be Seth.

Nobody does. But nobody knows what a player is in their first year. Bear is a good example

Is there even space for him anymore? I thought there was a logjam of young D there.

They are all still in the minors though, Caleb is the only one called up. (Well him and Lagesson)
I expect Larsson and Russel to be shipped off, which means we can call up two more next season.

How's he been doing? I always liked him as a prospect back in his junior days, but I don't follow the Oilers or their AHL affiliate closely enough to have much of an idea how he's worked out since.

At the AHL level he’s a star. Passable bottom pair D man at the nhl level. Still young and lots of upside.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I like this deal. He’s Kris Russell’s replacement least until we develop Broberg. 2 years at a low cap hit. I like this

Klefbom Larsson
Nurse Bear
Jones Bouchard/Benning

That’s what I hope to see at opening night next year

 

[Draiskull]

Caleb > Seth

 

[Funk21]

Solid deal for the team and the player. If he starts to really shine this will be a steal for the team. If he is just a stop gap till Broberg it’s no big deal.

Good job Holland.

 

[Del Preston]

CapFriendly is saying the AAV is $825,000.

Edit: it was a site error. $850K is correct.

 

[not a troll]

850k/yr is totally worth it if it means his mom gets to hang around the rink for another couple years.

 

[Habs10Habs]

IMO it's a good deal. I'm curious to see how much he improves over the next few seasons.
