Guy is 5'11" 200lbs. Not exactly small
I don't know that 5'11" and 200lbs is small.He is small!
I like the signing, a bit surprised it wasn't Davidson, but he's lesser known quantity as opposed to Davidson
I wonder if this means Sekera won't be gone as long as we think...maybe (hopefully) a decent stopgap with some good upside
surely he's better than Auvitu
I kinda wish this signing would've happened before Sekera went down. This seems like a very smart depth move to make.
Can't remember where I heard this, maybe Stauffer show, but apparently Davidson is really looking for a multi-year deal.
I heard 2 year deal with a guarantee that he makes NHL money if he gets sent down.
Tim and Sid just said one way deal...
Good luck. Nobody gets multi year deals when August hits.Can't remember where I heard this, maybe Stauffer show, but apparently Davidson is really looking for a multi-year deal.
His comment was referring to why Davidson still wasn't signed, not JJ's contractTim and Sid just said one way deal...
Obviously one of the members of the OBC is a comic book fan and are pulling strings behind the scene to ensure Chiarelli signs a JJ in every offseason. Hopefully JJv3 brings more to the team than Jim Johnson or Jussi Jokinen.
Pretty sure the Davidson experiment is done. They've seen enough of him and haven't seen a lot of upside. He just doesn't do anything real well.I don't know that 5'11" and 200lbs is small.

Lol, same agent as Maroon or what?Can't remember where I heard this, maybe Stauffer show, but apparently Davidson is really looking for a multi-year deal.
For sure, but this signing seems like one that should've been made regardless.By all reports Sekera was returning back to form this summer...then the Achilles injury happened.
Its tough to prep for bad luck.

Can't Blame Davidson for looking for that kind of deal, and you can't blame teams for passing on that.I heard 2 year deal with a guarantee that he makes NHL money if he gets sent down.

I don't think this is that fair of a comment to be honest. I think we do add depth players the problem is they are slotted in non-depth roles thus making it look like we have no depth players.I hope Jerabek turns out to be really good, so the Oilers braintrust can get it in their heads that it's OK to keep adding depth instead of closing their eyes and hoping everything works out. Because right now I don't think they would have signed Jerabek if Sekera was healthy, and that's a shame.
