Neither was Rieder before he got here.

I remember how excited we all were when we signed him. We all thought that we found a winger for Draisaitl.

 

[McShogun99]

I think it's better for the team and JP if he signs in Europe. He gets to develop in an easier league and up his trade value.

If I told you on July 1, 2018 that the Germans would combine to score 50 goals for the Oilers, everyone would have been ecstatic.

The current CBA is a 10-year deal, expiring after the 2021–22 season. The NHL can choose to opt out of the CBA on September 1, 2019 (expiring in 2020). The NHLPA can choose to opt out of the CBA on September 19, 2019.

If it's going to happen 2019/20 would be the best time for us.

That’s music to my ears... err eyes. You know what I mean. Get some value.

Granlund is a decent pick up. Much more versatile than Rieder is.

Even to start, the kid needs to show that double hip surgery hasn't ruined one of the only attributes people still think he had, his skating. I would be concerned in every way possible if I was trading for him right now, his hockey sense, his skills, his attitude, and just his ability to skate.

The trip to Europe would definitely be best for everyone. And hey, maybe he does good and fires his agent too

Just once I would like to see the Oilers veteran signings work out nicely. Russell has been fortuitous.

 

[McDNicks17]

He’s basically a slower Rieder who can play center poorly in a pinch.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No way Dzingel signs for 2M. Matheson needs to retire already.

I’ve never negotiated a player contract in my life and I’m pretty sure I could get Dzingel more than 2 mil if I was hammered drunk and left my glasses at home.

Vancouver thought so little of him they didn’t even qualify him.

 

[Kagomeboy]

oh so,he is a fine player

 

[ChaoticOrange]

oh so,he is a fine player

His career P/G is .32, the exact number of former Oiler and noted offensive juggernaut Lauri Korpikoski.

he is a fine player and he will be good.

Benson and Bouchard will force Holland and Tippet's hand in training camp.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Benson and Bouchard will force Holland and Tippet's hand in training camp.

God knows they don’t exactly have the deck stacked against them at this point.

Of course if they do and play well some will insist that was Holland’s plan all along and we should all bust out the knee pads.

man are you .....

Korpikoski was a decent player once upon a time.

yeah since Zucker has an NTC and might not waver it here.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Korpikoski was a decent player once upon a time.

His year with the Oilers:

72, 10-12-22

Granlund last year:

77, 12-10-22

I think it's better for the team and JP if he signs in Europe. He gets to develop in an easier league and up his trade value.

Has a player similar to Puljujarvi ever upped his trade value by going back to Europe to play?

 

[Kagomeboy]

His year with the Oilers:

72, 10-12-22

Granlund last year:

77, 12-10-22

my god are you a worry wort

Zucker/Minnesota relationship is extremely toxic right now. His wife is attacking the org on twitter.

 

[PuckNut]

We should just sign Rieder so we have someone to blame when we do t make the playoffs next season.

I’m still going to blame him.
