Claimed off Waivers: Oilers claim Colby Cave

[Mike Jones]

That would be an Oilers thing to do considering this guy is listed as a Center.

Crap - you're right.

All this time I thought he was a defenseman.

Are the oilers at the 50 contract limit yet?

 

[Homesick]

I hope this is Chiarelli's big move. I tossed and turned all night worrying about what he might do

 

[Mike Jones]

Are the oilers at the 50 contract limit yet?

According to Capfriendly they're at 48. Still plenty of time for Chia to trade the 2019 first for an ECHL third line forward.

 

[Warden of the North]

Oilers are over the 23 man roster limit.

 

[67Blues]

In all seriousness it just might. Cave is the kind of player who may actually work out well in Edmonton.

Thus the comment it is a bold strategy, lets see if it pays off. Sometimes these out of left field pickups work out well, sometimes they crash and burn. Time will tell.

Gamberdella will be sent down

 

[joestevens29]

Gamberdella will be sent down

That or someone will end up on IR like usual

Rattie will be waived.

Why do the Oilers keep taking other teams trash?

 

[57special]

PC finally getting his revenge on the B's.

 

[Warden of the North]

I thought they already had a crap,ton of D?

Hes a C

Why do the Oilers keep taking other teams trash?

Some people's trash is Chia's treasure. In all seriousness some players simply need a change in scenery in order to take the next step.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I’ve never heard even heard of him. I’ll try and temper my excitement

 

[ManofSteel55]

Why do the Oilers keep taking other teams trash?

Because other teams trash is mildly better than our trash.

Not sure if he did this as a spite move towards the Bruins or not...

Maybe the Condors need offensive help?

He originally signed him and I imagine Keith Gretzky saw a lot of him and pushed the Bruins to bring him in

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Where is that?

 

[Dog]

Now they have a cave & bear. What's next trading for a stone.

 

[Kamiccolo]

As fun as it is to dump on the Oilers I don't have a problem with them claiming every scrub on waivers and giving them a few games. They need offense, and you honestly never know when a guy just needed a change, finds chemistry, or can be used more effectively and suddenly you get a free top 9 forward.

Hasn't happened yet but it will. Sooner or later someone is going to get top line minutes when all they ever got was defensive 4th line time and show they have the skill to be in the NHL.

Please, please don't expect much from him. There's a reason he's a career AHLer and has never scored more than 35pts in a season.

Chis is the GM
