Confirmed with Link: Patrick Russell, signs in SHL

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

Dunce Hat/delete

 

[oobga]

Best of luck to him. DIdn't break the games played with no goal record for forwards, but I did calculate that he beat the record holder in minutes played without a goal Other guy was just a face puncher that got a few minutes a night.

 

[Fourier]

I’m gonna run around the room when he finally pots one

Good minor depth signing
Knows the system and the coaches big body who works hard
Nothing to complain about

He didn't sign with the Oilers though. He signed in Sweden.

 

[The Nuge]

I’m actually surprised we didn’t sign him. He seems like the perfect 14th forward. He plays low event hockey, does whatever the coaches ask, and even plays pretty well after sitting for long periods

[Samus44]

What a joke.

I read it after I commented(didn’t realize this was bumped)
I guess I just put on the dunce hat

 

[McShogun99]

I just wanted him to score 1 NHL goal before he left.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I just wanted him to score 1 NHL goal before he left.

I will never forgot how crushed he looked on the bench when they took his goal away from him on an offside challenge.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Hard grinding guy who left it all on the ice but this was our last slow skater. Agree with Hollands moves or not, we are officially a fast team. Best of luck to Patrick Russell I would not be shocked to see him back in the NHL one day because he deserves to be there.

 

[MoontoScott]

I wonder where Chiasson will sign? The SHL would probably be a good option for both Chiasson and Ennis.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Gave it everything he had while here, kept our boys on the taxi squad ready by having to work hard against him all season long. A pro's pro, best of luck to you in Sweden Patrick.

 

[ehhteen]

Man, back when I thought Prusell was gonna be our version of Zach Hyman. Best of luck to him in Sweden! Would have been nice to see him score an NHL goal...

I think he resigns back here for a mil once we have our LD free agent signed.

 

[Aerchon]

Glad days.

Best of luck to him but a prototypical Tipp player fielded for effort rather than results or skill.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Doesn't sound good when they're playing Lump over the speaker system. How about not play the song that talks about "got a brain that's so rotten and deranged"

Quite possible, I don't know what your calculations are but assuming that:

-Turris contract is buried in the minors
-Sign Yams at about 2M/year
-Klefbomb to LTIR
-Keep Kosko contract

-then I have the Oilers sitting at right around 79M so yes there is room for a few smaller moves but its getting tight.

The following season will also be interesting. Nurse, Puls and McLeod will need new deals and I don't really see where the cap space is coming from. Yes, the Kosko deal will expire at the end of the 2021-22 season (so will the Turris deal) but if you go out and look for a new #1 goaltender (next summer) then it probably costs as much or more to sign the new guy so the deal on a Nurse extension will be tight.

I know its been talked to death but 2 years of Keith at 5M+ was a limiting move. I like the fact that he's coming to the Oilers but some salary retention would have given the team more flexibility going into the cap space equation for 2022-23.

I’ve done it on Cap Friendly and it works. I don’t think the Kieth contract is as bad as everyone is making it out to be. I believe he will be a very effective defenceman who also helps in ways the fancy stats guys love to ridicule. Just my opinion.

 

[Drivesaitl]

This is one of the weirdest bumped threads ever at free agent time.. I wonder how many more people on a Monday morn get tricked.

Were you referring to the 2021-22 season or the 2022-23 season?

This coming season and only with Chaisson.

 

[KenLinsemanFanClub]

I think he also scored one in the exhibition game against Calgary in July 2020 leading up to the return to play in the bubble last year. Hard luck for Patrick. I wish him well.

Ya, a hard worker with stone hands and no puck luck. A bad combo lol.

With this lineup, I hope so. Chiasson suddenly looks great in our botton six with Foegele and Ryan

 

[Senor Catface]

If Chiasson is off the team, that increases the chance that Tippett will play Jesse on the PP instead.

I really don't want to see Chiasson play 3 minutes of PP a game again. (Which he did)
