Probably just didn't want to sign there and JR taking a shot in the dark to try and put a prospect in the barren farm team. f*** it, I will take moves like this all the time. A 6th rounder means next to nothing. Even if he won't sign with us ether the likelihood of that pick taking anything we would miss in the draft is extremely minimal.Guess he was a guarantee to not sign in Edmonton... of course he might not wanna sign here either but then we’re right back to where we started. I wonder if we have some insider knowledge that he’d be willing to sign with us or if it’s just a shot in the dark.
I see he’s pegged to be Harvard’s captain.
Seems ok. Is he much of an upgrade on Ryan Jones and Will Reilly?
Probably. He’s spent his entire career in Boston except for one season in Tri-City, I bet he’s got his sights set on the Bruins org. Maybe Guerin & Artie can gaslight him into signing here.Probably just didn't want to sign there and JR taking a shot in the dark to try and put a prospect in the barren farm team. **** it, I will take moves like this all the time.

one of the worst defensive teams in the league gave him up for a condition 6th in 2 years, so consider that before HFing him right into your mock lineups

I remember similar posts made when we acquired Schultz....
And yet he's been going to Harvard all this time. Doesn't bode well for his awareness. Seems like his positioning could use some work.Committed to Yale University NCAA
old scouting report from his draft yr. unless you are questioning his choice in schools.And yet he's been going to Harvard all this time. Doesn't bode well for his awareness. Seems like his positioning could use some work.
Just pointing out that if he thinks he's at Yale and he's been going to Harvard, I can't imagine his awareness to be that great.old scouting report from his draft yr. unless you are questioning his choice in schools.

You're right, the Oilers don't easily lose talented players.

I don't think a sixth rounder can afford to be too picky about what NHL club is going to sign them, though.
