Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] F Corey Perry signs with the Oilers (1 year, $775k + performance bonuses)

[Czechboy]

You know you're in a good spot when this is a question

Agree.. maybe I'm just too sentimental for Ryan and Gagner.

 

[booyakasha]

Who is exactly unlikeable across the league on the oilers?

Mcdavid? He gets boooed in away teams arena lately I noticed
Drais is hated by the media cause he’s always an asshole to them
Kane is Kane…
Nurse?
Perry

That 2011 Nucks teams was still a lot worse..

you know they were dirtball level, when the entire hockey fanbase cheered Marchand doing this...LOL

 

[Coffey]

Edmonton - where the leagues outcasts go to get rehabilitated?

Actually seems to be that lol

 

[Cup or Bust]

Good type of add for the Oilers.

 

[LOFIN]

The good thing about this is that atleast the Oilers won't win the cup.

 

[Three On Zero]

Likewise when Pie tried to take out Draisaitl?

 

[Coffey]

Also can't do this if he's on our team

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

good solid addition to the bottom of the roster....super high hockey IQ and a pest
dude can still play

also, a ton of playoff experience

more depth is always good

 

[McFlyingV]

Do the Ducks get Mike Comrie still?

Only if he pays Kevin Lowe back the money he owes him.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Unneeded distraction IMO. Edmonton's been rolling but Im not convinced theyre completely passed whatever was ailing them at the start of the season. And now the players will be faced with outside questions and speculation? Management may have just thrown a stick in their own spokes here.

We shall see

Holland is done after this season, he doesn’t care what happens beyond it. His only goal is to get the team into the playoffs

 

[JKG33]

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!

They really ain't lmao

I mean signing Kane in the exact same scenario didn't seem to have any negative effect on them.

 

[Three On Zero]

Watch this be another dirty bait and switch, like whomever that player was in the offseason that reportedly signed with Edmonton only to sign somewhere else last minute

 

[Frank Drebin]

Still haven't been able to figure out what this fella was laughing about

Edmonton - where the leagues outcasts go to get rehabilitated?

The NHLs gulag

 

[Faceboner]

Oilers looking like favorites to win the Cup now.

They still need d upgrades and a goalie unless Campbell does a 180 for playoffs

Are they outcasts? Toronto could certainly use a few of these guys and has displayed as much interest - unfortunately they’ve been unsuccessful bringing them in.

 

[Czechboy]

Name the dickheads? I'd say we are well below average.

The NHLs gulag

There's a lot of Canuck fans out in full force this year that think they've already won the cup.

Edmonton - where the leagues outcasts go to get rehabilitated?

Oilers are the OG's when it comes to rehabing outcasts. They brought in MacT in the 80's after he served a year in jail for vehicular manslaughter.

 

[Faceboner]

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Drai - Foegele
Janmark - McLeod - Perry
Gagner - Holloway - Brown/Ryan

slick

How has foegele been seems like a good Top 9 option but seems a little weak for 2nd rw

People were chirping the exact same thing when they brought in Kane. Guy tore it up for them in the playoffs that season.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Ahhh the memories of the comeback on katella

Corey Perry tried to sign with the Leafs, they weren’t interested.

Now he had his contract terminated for character issues - I don’t think that’d make them more interested.

Players who get their contracts terminated aren’t usually in high demand outside of Edmonton, as Kane found out when he tested free agency with zero offers.

 

[White Out 902]

A totally unsurprising move by an organization with no ethics.
