Potter claimed by Bruins

So much for Nick Schultz to Bruins,

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

watch him become a 20 minute a night beast in the playoffs lol

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

shocked

 

[sepHF]

Good riddance

also, Potter went from the outhouse to the penthouse....in a matter of 24 hours

probably the luckiest guy in Edmonton right now

 

[oXo Cube]

...and nothing of value was lost

 

[MetaOil1993]

Hallelujah!

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

You have to think that MacT is almost celebrating this claim... it's like an extra contract spot for free.

 

[djdub]

...and nothing of value was lost

IMO value was gained in the contract spot

 

[CornKicker]

this trade deadline was a success

 

[PaPaDee]

Didn't Potters contract expire this year anyways? Don't see that much value for an extra spot for the rest of this year.

 

[Moose Coleman]

And he wasn't even the worst Oilers D.

If true it still helps at this trade deadline, if he needs flexibility to make a move / take back another contract to make something happen.

I think we had an extra spot or two available already anyways.

 

[rasarhdasd]

Contract spot!!

 

[McGlassbangers]

And he wasn't even the worst Oilers D.

He was bad in Edmonton and mediocre in Oklahoma. Don't see what Boston does with him. Not going to lie, I'm happy as **** right now as we got free contract spot.

 

[s7ark]

Just fantastic news. I don't know if I have ever been happier to be rid of a player.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Thought I would go with the version by an Albertan:



Like others have said, with Edmonton's luck Potter will most likely anchor the 3rd pairing for the Bruins during a long playoff run.

 

[ManByng]

who cares! i'm just glad he's gone. slowly but surely the Oilers are starting to change things. i hope this isn't the end though until the summer, it's just not enough.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

And not a single **** was given that day.

 

[McDNicks17]

No chance we make the play-offs without the Corey Power Potter Play.

Season is a write-off now.

 

[McTedi]

Dime a dozen guy, hardly even note worthy.

 

[Aerchon]

Been a potter supporter for a long time. I am not surprised he got claimed by such a defensive savey team. Great depth d man. By far our best #6/7 guy over the last few years.
