Gritty vet addition, I like it.

 

[Voight]

Good addition.

 

[Mr Kot]

The depth has been scoring well, but anything to prevent Erne from coming up would be great.

 

[hamzarocks]

This could be the year for Mcdavid

Things are looking very promising on the oilers

 

[Draiskull]

Oilers should wait til Thursday to play him when CHI team and media is in town.

 

[Steddy33]

I like it for Edmonton.

 

[Czechboy]

Loving the forwards and hope it doesn't hurt chemistry IF this is true. Having said that.. he'd be perfect for playoffs and we need a few more pricks! We are too damn nice and likeable. Him and Kane would be a good start to make us even more hateable!

 

[34]

Oilers looking like favorites to win the Cup now.

 

[Czechboy]

Who comes out though? Again, I love the forward group... I don't want to see any combo of Gagner, Ryan or Janmark eating nachos. Even Brown is great at the PK and has a role.

 

[macbowes]

Nice addition to the bottom 6, and he'll probably occasionally slide up the lineup. Brings cup winning experience, grit, and some scoring, for basically no cost. I like it.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Seems like a really good add for them

Erne will go down.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Least surprising destination for him

 

[Sean Garrity]

Do the Ducks get Mike Comrie still?

 

[Connor McConnor]

Not sure how I feel about this since I hate Perry with a passion but he would be a great addition to the bottom 6

Ryan, Brown, Janmark, Hamblin, Erne all have the exact same role. All 5 are replaceable. Holloway and Gagner can also be eating nachos for a bit.

 

[Czechboy]

Erne will go down.

He's not a full timer though... is Perry coming to be a part timer? I doubt it.

 

[Donuts]

good depth but like the leafs, all offense and still avg defense and goalie.
We seen it yr after yr. Until they significantly upgrade, its likely a 1st rd exit for oilers vs Avs, canucks, or vegas

 

[Mr Positive]

Erne will go down.

Yes both him and Hamblin are decent players but also were the obvious spots to upgrade. Holloway and Perry in

He will help. He can still score goals as well.

 

[Czechboy]

I get the Erne thing but he's a part timer that plays 8 minutes a night when he does play.

Hollo and Gagner are not guys I want to see in a press box. Hollo needs solid minutes to develop. I just have a bias for Gagner and always will.lol

I see what you’re saying. Should be brown.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Makes too much sense, exactly the kind of guy they need

 

[Rschmitz]

From one Connor to the next. Was hoping he'd sign in TB
