Careful. The truth isn't welcome around here these days
That reminds me. Where O where is Steven F my life? He promised to come back here today.

Pitlick showed promise but at this point, he's more fragile than glass.
The contract was specifically designed to allow movement in years 3 and 4...limited but there.
If you're talking about Jannik Hansen he's not a free agent.
So who got better in the West this offseason so far? Dallas, Arizona, Calgary?
Of course he wants security. I don't blame Russell at all for wanting that.
It still doesn't help the Oilers, the other half of this equation. It's a poorly constructed contract that hampers their ability to move it.
Part of him signing here is security. There was a little give and take, a very nice deal IMO.That's the key word. It's not unmovable but it's not easy to deal with either. Those NTCs hamper the ability to move it.
Ferrence had a full NMC and controlled any type of transaction whether it be trade, waivers, or demotion. Russell doesn't have that ability in the final 2 years. He submits a 10 team list July 1st of 2019 and a 15 team list in 2020. The Oilers are free to deal him to any team on those lists at that point.

This offseason sucks. Everyday the team gets worse

I like how Jagr liked a tweet out of 26 likes from 2016 concerning him to join the Oilers.
Incoming?

Why would Russell need to go to the minors or waivers, at worst he is bottom pairing on any team in the league.My point is Russell still has the NMC so waivers/demotion still can't be used on his final years. I'm saying that the NTC is too restrictive in that if we can't find 10-15 teams we can't bury him/but him out
