Sounds like Oilers may have locked up Swedish Defenceman Joel Perrson. 24 year old right shot from the Vaxjo Lakers.
Don't get me wrong I don't dislike the signing or anything but I sure hope management has bigger ideas than scraping the bottom of the barrel like this.
This is a Tambellini type fix.
It's not, it's a common thing for teams. If you're signing this guy to play 16-20 mins a night with Kurtis Foster, THAT'S a Tambellini fix.
Because you're assuming what I'm saying, instead of viewing it as what it is, a different way to acquire organizational depth. This is common for teams to do. To assume this is all they're doing and hoping for the best is dishonest.You realize this is exactly what I said, right?

Adding a whole bunch of negative after the original part is why you received the response you did.I didn't assume anything. I even said I'm fine with bringing this dude in.
Keep seeing what you want to see, though.
We should keep our fingers crossed...so how much you guys think ? 2.5M LOL

Persson getting knocked the eff out...yikes
Intriguing. Seems like he's had a real steep development curve and his skillset checks off some boxes so good low risk medium reward signing. I wonder if any other teams were in on him.
I just hope that Chia doesn't see this as the answer to top 4 puckmover that they've been coveting since he was hired. If this is as more of an Auvitu replacement then I'm on board although it would be nice if Mclellan actually played him.
Was just going to say this almost exactly.
Our statistically best puckmoving Dman rarely got to see the ice last season in a year where we had tons of injuries on D. I don't have confidence that he will get a fair shot, maybe if he was a good prairie boy he might.
Who is his brother?Nice signing by the sounds of things. Kind of surprised that he didn't sign with his brothers team though.
"Right shot, black tape, right side"Is this guy a right handed replacement for Auvitu?
