News Article: Larsson on LTIR (6-8 weeks, broken fibula)

[SolidSnakeUS]

Curious, with Bouchard coming up, would he get 1st or 2nd PP minutes?

 

[Smart Alek]

I'm just gonna hazard a guess here... Rasmus Ristolainen?

 

[Kolja]

Considering Hollands philosophy I expect Bouch in the top 4 long term.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Larsson's got a broken foot obviously.

Bear down, Bouchard up makes next to no sense to me.

Gregor thinks it’s his back. Must be his Oilers source again....

 

[CycloneSweep]

From the sounds of it...

Nurse - Benning
Klefbom - Persson
Russell - Bouchard

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Oh no...

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

From the sounds of it...

Nurse - Benning
Klefbom - Persson
Russell - Bouchard

There goes the neighbourhood.

 

[Da McBomb]

La Bouche

 

[Arpeggio]

Yiiiikkes.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

From the sounds of it...

Nurse - Benning
Klefbom - Persson
Russell - Bouchard

Oh gawd,

Even
Nurse - Bouchard
Klefbom - Persson
Russell - Benning

would be a nightmare.

 

[Hins77]

Hey Oilers fans. What is the situation about your goalie? I have Koskinen in my pool and im wondering if hes gonna play a lot. Thanks

 

[Raab]

Oh gawd,

Even
Nurse - Bouchard
Klefbom - Persson
Russell - Benning

would be a nightmare.

No matter which way you slice it, it looks bad

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Apparently this move gives the Oilers ~250K more of LTIR relief. Holland trying to squeeze every penny of cap space... hmmm.

Paper transaction to maximize LTIR is all this is. Oilers don’t play til Sat. I imagine neither player even gets on a plane.

 

[oXo Cube]

Could the Bear part of it be a paper thing? Something with the LTIR cap space? I don't know, seems very weird that they would send him down after 1 game. Just doesn't make sense

If it was a weird paper transaction they wouldn't have recalled Bouchard.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Just when I thought my GDT had avoided the curse...

 

[Heavy Dee]

We need Fournier to explain this.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Indeed, this is a tough blow. I'm of the mind, even with his decent opening night, you can't play Benning up in the lineup or it will be disaster, I would rather try and see with Bouchard/Persson/Bear.

Benning had a good game last night but Tippet sees him as a good 6D and will limit his minutes like last night. Persson and Bouchard will be splitting top 4 RD minutes unless help is on the way.

 

[SwedishFire]

Sucks to be Bear, playing good in premier, hels the team win, gets send down. I dont get a thing. They must have seen something they absolutley didnt like. When Larsson dissapears, capspace dissapears as well? So i dont get this at all.. Like, at all.
Wasnt Bouchard send down for grow into the big leauge. Why recall him after one game?
My only guess is that they really needed his passingskills, no other has it.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

So Klefbom and Nurse are going to play 30 min a night now?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Depending on how long term he is out...we have to trade for a defender now.

 

[GodPucker]

FFS. We always run into injury issues. Never see CGY or others get it lol. Maybe it is the water...
