[duul]

Seems like a waste to me.

 

[McDrai]

I guess this means Klefbom goes down to the AHL
I like it

 

[Arpeggio]

Meh, someone needs to be in the pressbox. Worth the flier.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

I like this signing .He's a big guy. Very big guy. Just a depth signing though.

 

[McOilbleeder]

He looked decent with the Leafs, seemed to have upside, but than fell flat on his face in Tampa. I like it.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Again, meh. If he's playing consistent minutes, that means someone is injured and we're screwed anyways.

An option at our #7 isn't a problem.

 

[joestevens29]

Looks like Macintyre. With regards to the pickup of him, I don't mind it. Depth move.

 

[Pointteen]

Gives Klefbom a lot of minutes with Todd Nelson. I like it.

 

[Cawz]

Wow, we have a lot of defensemen

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He's only 25, he's a #7/8, big guy, meh not bad, Oilers avoid Engelland which I'm sure many will like.

 

[La Bamba]

Omfg MOAR size doe.

He looked very good beside Phaneuf in TO but has regressed pretty badly since. He's a 7th d-man/AHLer

 

[Del Preston]

Wow, we have a lot of defensemen

- Kevin Lowe, 2006

 

[Mcnofool6110]

What

 

[dem]

Rather have him sitting in the pb than klefbom and co

 

[Spawn]

#7 d-man hopefully.

Reclamation project I suppose. Only 25 years old. Played a #6 roll in Tampa in the lockout year.

 

[The Nuge]

Good #7 dman. Keeps Klefa out of the press box

 

[Crobby]

I dont mind giving him a shot. Still young, big dude, provides depth. He was good in TO before going to TB.

 

[sepHF]

needed a #7, lets the kids develop. Nurse back to the OHL and Klefbom starts in the AHL. I'd say Marincin has done enough to be on the opening night roster.

 

[McGhostbuster]

Does he have a connection to Eakins?

 

[Aequitas]

Does he have a connection to Eakins?

most likely

 

[misfit]

Not a bad 7, from SK, and is huge. Would be better if he was a RHS, but what can you do?

Keeps our young D prospects out of the PB because you need the bodies. Might not even make the team out of camp though.

Sounds like the Mark Fraser replacement

 

[Bangers]

Meh. M. E. H. Meh.

 

[CupofOil]

Would much rather have Engelland. Ah well

Sever the hands, re-organize the nerves.
