Confirmed with Link: Oilers Sign Jason Garrison To A PTO

[Paralyzer008]

Yeah, he's done.

Guess there were no RHD to come here.

 

[Cloned]

I've heard that he's slower than Gryba.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Where did Chicago finish last year again?

The last 3 years they add a Oilers depth defender every year...and each year they get worse

 

[Staghorn]

A meh move, but he might be better than Gravel and Jerebek.... and that isn’t saying much.

Both are better than Garrison.

 

[MoneyGuy]

They’re building quite a mediocre defensive corps.

 

[Spawn]

Just stick him on one of the points and have him shoot on the PP, then get him off the ice when it's done.

He has 1 PP goal in the last 4 seasons. We’re half a dozen years removed from him being a real PP threat in this league. Those days are over.

Oh dear...

Is he at least a good pylon to use for practice?

Probably just another body to fill out camp.

 

[Raab]

Have to think this is insurance incase Nurse doesnt sign before the season. Why else bring him in with the Jerabek and Gravel signings?

 

[BlackDogg]

This must be ‘The Plan’ Bob Nicholson was talking about!

He's a fan of PTO's apparently.

 

[Supermassive]

Where did Chicago finish last year again?

With no starting goaltending for the last five months of the year.

 

[slaman]

Bruce McCurdy said on Twitter that you need at least 10 vets for preseason... Which might explain these PTOs?

I don't know if that's actually a rule though - can anyone confirm?

 

[Cloned]

With no starting goaltending for the last five months of the year.

Are we talking about the Oilers or the Hawks?

 

[Mr Positive]

oddly enough I wanted us to trade for Garrisson from Vegas last year instead of give Russell that contract. Russell is better though.

 

[Senor Catface]

Because Chicago knows quality depth Dmen that is 3 now from the Oilers they have signed Gustafsson Oesterle Davidson

Nothing screams having a golden eye for defense more than signing defensemen from the Edmonton Oilers.

 

[nabob]

Just stick him on one of the points and have him shoot on the PP, then get him off the ice when it's done.

Dress 7 Dmen amd have him play almost exclusively on the point on the PP if he still has his shot?

 

[McShogun99]

PTO's don't mean anything anyways. We just need bodies for camp and for the exhibition games. Our roster is pretty much set.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Chia recreating a poorman's Vegas model. What a brilliant hockey mind

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Competition is never a bad thing. Yes it'd be great if he could add a top 4 guy, but if not we should at least have a couple of solid 6 and 7's to round out the roster.

 

[Soundwave]

I think both Garrison and Upshall make the team. Our depth is horrid.

I wonder if Garrison can still shoot the biscuit, because if so he'd have probably the best or second best point shot on the team.

 

[McFlash97]

Isnt a little speed supposed to be one of his assets despite having slowed down significantly over the years ?

 

[t0nedeff]

He has 1 PP goal in the last 4 seasons. We’re half a dozen years removed from him being a real PP threat in this league. Those days are over.

Its not like he went to the Minors and was Fayne he went down didn't complain I'm assuming or it would have made the newsline and put up a decent amount of points in less than 60 games. Guy could easily bounce back if he gets the opportunity. I haven't looked at the stats but I'd assume he wasn't exactly given preemo pp minutes in Tampa when they had Stamkos/Kucherov/Hedman as point shots so lets not used amount of pp goals over the last few years cloud that aspect of it. I bet you he comes in and looks better than Russel.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

He put up decent numbers in the AHL last season. He may still have something to give.

 

[McDNicks17]

I thought mobility was always his downfall?
