Always like seeing guys turn PTO's into NHL work.

So is he going to be competing for the fourth line centre slot, or is this strictly a taxi squad signing?

 

[Draiskull]

Looks like he can PK but isnt great on the dot. Good enough for the taxi squad and may make Khaira expendable.

I'd probably take Devin Shore over Khaira. I have to wonder if the Oilers might be wishing they bought out Khaira at the 1/6 U26 buyout price.

Huh? It's the last year of his deal and it would cost $75k to bury him.

4C will be a mix of Khaira, Haas (when he's out of COVID protocol and game ready, so a couple weeks yet) and Shore.

Opens up being able to send Ryan Mcleod to Bako once they get rolling too.

I think I got this guy up to an 87 overall in one of my NHL16 GM modes.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Why not? NHL experience and not guaranteed a spot.

Thank you for the clarification. I was pleasantly surprised to see Mcleod make the final roster, it won’t be much longer before he’s an
NHL regular imo.

Coach Tip agrees, singled him out as having a good camp and said he's very close to NHL ready. Think he sees time this year when injuries hit.

If we are going by NHL16, someone needs to sign Grabner ASAP.

I'll admit I have a bitterness towards Khaira that I don't towards other disappointing prospects...and it's because me made me believe.

This signing opens up a chance to trade Khaira. With him clearing waivers he can be added to any team's taxi squad now if traded there.

He has zero trade value. Nobody is even going to be concerned with him facing waivers anyways.
