Confirmed with Link: Kyle Turris [2 years - $1.65M per]

[Louis Cypher]

Excellent signing. Good job Kenny!

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I was thinking the same.

That line could do some damage with soft minutes.

Using the fourth line as a shutdown line then? Don't we need some minute munchers?

 

[Llamamoto]

He's coming off a year where he paced for 41 points. That's a very solid #3C, and 1.65 is an absolute steal.

 

[MCMIL OIL]

This is such a good signing. Turris has struggled a bit in Nashville but he's the best 3rd line center we have had in so long.

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

This is a good signing. Veteran 3rd line C.
Cheap cap hit.
Now wheres hallsy

 

[DropTheGloves]

Wasn't my first choice (I thought Haula was better) but I can dig it. Good on the draw, 50 point upside.

 

[Mowzie]

Did I hear we signed Allan Quine (sp)

 

[Llamamoto]

That is neat. However a lot of people say he isn't good enough to play in the top6 and doesn't fit in a bottom-six, so where does he play? Are we going to run a sheltered scoring line as our 3rd line with Turris?

A scoring line of Neal - Turris - Puljujarvi/Chiasson could work well with softer minutes.

 

[LeafChief]

That's a fantastic deal for the Oilers. Very jealous. Congrats guys!

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Neal-Turris-Pulju would be a solid 3rd line. Wonder if we can get a good winger on the cheap as a finisher for McDavid and Kass.

 

[Markham30]

Great job Kenny!!!

 

[MessierII]

I really like this. Perfect fit for what we need at 3C

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I really like this deal. He has alot to prove, but this guy can play, imo.

 

[McDNicks17]

Using the fourth line as a shutdown line then? Don't we need some minute munchers?

I think it'll be basically like last season.

Third and fourth lines split time. Turris gets the offensive zone draws. The #4C(guessing we'll see someone brought in still) gets the defensive zone draws.

 

[sepHF]

Honestly not a huge fan of Turris but its a relateively cheap deal, and he's a RH shot that can actually win a face off once in a while.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Tippett wanted him

 

[Draiskull]

That is neat. However a lot of people say he isn't good enough to play in the top6 and doesn't fit in a bottom-six, so where does he play? Are we going to run a sheltered scoring line as our 3rd line with Turris?

He fits in bottom 6 if Neal, Puljujarvi and Chiasson are in bottom 6.
Neal-Turris-Pulju would be a skilled 3rd line.

 

[joestevens29]

Neal-Turris-JP?

I like the contract. Can bury most of it if need be, but I don't see him being that bad.

 

[Canovin]

If he likes living in Ottawa then he'll like it here. Not much different except we are a bigger hockey market

 

[joestevens29]

Tippett wanted him

I was wondering how their relationship was. It was a fairly messy breakup

 

[McDeepika]

Not a huge fan. He hasn't been very productive 5 on 5 over the last 3 years and doesn't do much to make us tougher to play against.

 

[dssource]

Turris and JP for the same price we would have paid AA. Holland has done well so far.

I don't know anything about Quine.

 

[Del Preston]

McDavid, Draisaitl, Turris, and RNH if need be as the centres.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Using the fourth line as a shutdown line then? Don't we need some minute munchers?

It pretty much has to be or we won't have enough penalty killers. Nice to see that Turris and Tippett are willing to work together again, shows maturity and growth.

 

[Taylor Halls Teeth]

Gotta like that AAV!
