Waived: Ryan Spooner and Ty Rattie

[Sticktape]

wtf is happening with practice being cancelled and a team meeting? It said media availability afterwards but I haven't heard anything?

 

[Coffey]

Pretty sure Klefbom is technically attached to that Messier trade (through Pronger trade/Penner offer sheet saga), so it's not quite nothing yet

Nope.
Klefbom was aquired via a pick from trading Penner to the Kings, who was acquired via offer sheet, the picks were Edmonton's.

 

[ElLeetch]

Thanks for Strome. he's been a good fit in our bottom 6.

 

[King In The North]

Everyone should've known Spooner is waiver fodder. Had problems with multiple coaches now.

Better off to have kept Strome.

 

[SML2]

This pretty much sums it up.

What a joke.

It seems like you may be leaving a few details out of that story.

I'm starting to understand why Shattenkirk veto'd getting traded to Edmonton from the Blues at the time. Smarter than the average bear.

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Wouldn’t mind the wings grabbing spooner

Lol no thanks

3.1 mil for this season and next?

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I’d pick up Rattie as a nucks fan.

 

[Michoulicious]

True for Klefbom.

The Pronger to Anaheim trade repercussion is itself analysed here :

Edmonton Oilers Trade Tree: Chris Pronger traded to Anaheim Ducks - Sportsnet.ca

Fascinating way to spend 15 minutes of my free time.

@tyleryaremchuk

Nice work. Makes me wonder why Spooner getting waived is the one straw in that bale of crap that broke the camel's back, but well done.

 

[krutovsdonut]

as a roster management issue, don't they need to call somebody up today to get to 13 forwards?

even if they think they have a trade for both of them pending waivers, and even if they think that player can get there for tomorrow's game once the trade is announced, it's possible both these guys get claimed on waivers and they have no trade.

Thanks for Strome. he's been a good fit in our bottom 6.

he was in ours too.....

I didn't leave anything out.....not my graphic, just felt like it was too amusing not to share.

 

[Lukin1978]

Amazing job Chia to turn Eberle into this he should get a 10 year extension

 

[Lays]

Thanks for Strome! He’s been really solid with us and I wouldn’t mind keeping him around long term, perfect bottom 6er and his defense is better than advertised. Started having some chemistry with Chytil as well

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I doubt anyone is dumb enough to pick up Spooner. Rattie... maybe.

How does a 26 year old player go from 49 points, 39 points, and 41 points in 59 games (primarily with a playoff team in Boston) to 5 points in 40 games in the span of a year?

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Oilers about to turn it around.

Spooner is the exact polar opposite of the type of player Hitchcock likes, and Chiarelli is borderline obsessed with getting ‘his’ bruins guys back together

 

[Yamazaki]

Chia is a Turd

 

[Taluss]

Does anyone see Rattie clearing? I don't

he spent the offseason partying with tim schaller?

 

[General Disarray]

what a mismanagement of assets in the past 24 months

traded a 1st+2nd for Reinhart who ended up being taken in the expansion draft and subsequently waived (in a 2 year time frame)
traded Eberle for Strome, then Strome for Spooner and then was subsequently waived (in a 1.5 year time frame)

holy **** what a disaster

It's astonishing really. These are fireable offenses. Then when you add the Hall trade to that. How did he make THREE fireable offenses and has not been fired lol?

 

[Frank Drebin]

Thanks for Strome. he's been a good fit in our bottom 6.

Franchise changing move
