News: Skyler Brind'Amour will not sign with the Oilers, speculation is he will sign with Carolina

[Ace Card Bedard]

They just won a national championship and barely lost all season that's a stacked team. Figure it out. If you're going to reply answer the actual question. You don't sound smart you sound like an absolute moron.

They're a system team.
Unlike Michigan which was a stacked team with 12 NHL draftees (Fantilli, Hughes, Samoskevich, Nazar, etc.)


They're more like the 1995 Devils than the 2022 Red Wings.

 

[SpitfireHabs1]

Entitled is what he is period!!! All you Can argue if you want to but you're wrong. The Kid Should just Be grateful to get drafted into the NHL and play for any team, Arizona included. I Hope he doesn't play in the league. Stop being a brat and Be humble. Must have not been raised properly.

 

[beowulf]

Do we even know if the Oilers even want to sign him? I mean he is a 23 year old 6th round pick who finally put up ok numbers as a senior at age 23. Does not seem like anything special and sure as heck is not his dad on the ice.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

They're more like the 1995 Devils than the 2022 Red Wings.

I’d hope so.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Yeah if only my dad had been an NHLer too then that would have changed my decision to leave the NHL team that originally drafted me, the same team that drafted legends like Gretzky and McDavid and that has been trying to sign me. But he wasn't an NHLer, but I was so close.

Gretzky was never drafted

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Crazy that there's an 8 page thread in the trade forum about a guy who might never play in the NHL.

 

[OilynutEsquire]

If he was a prospect for any other team we wouldn't be at 8 pages.

Understandable that Skylar would be looking for an easier opportunity. Oilers may be the toughest team in the league to get a forward spot. Especially with Holloway/Lavoie/Borgault/Philp/Tullio fighting for the next available spot on the roster.

Good luck Skylar

Wait he’s a forward? Looking at his stats, I thought he was playing defence.

You don’t have to be a stacked team to win in the ncaa.

 

[smytty]

They gotta fix this in the next CBA. I’m a players’ rights guy, but this is a loophole other prospects don’t get- sloppy work because the union is dumb and the owners only care about money.

Also, bitch move Skyler.

It's not a loophole, it's working exactly as intended. If a CHL player doesn't sign within 2 years he goes back into the draft. I believe after another 2 years he becomes a free agent. It's the same idea with college players except they don't go into the draft they just have to wait for the 4-year period

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

That time a last name justified 8 pages

It's 8 pages because of the name..

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

who cares, he's not an NHL caliber player. thread only exists because of his last name.

He's huge and just won a national championship. Players like that would geta flier regardless of their last name.

 

[HF007]

A boy named Skyler

Dad is mentally toughing the boy up from all the bullying.. 3D chess

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Quinnipiac was not a stacked team. They play a grinding, defense-first style of hockey.
They had two NHL draft picks in their lineup, Brindamour and Lipkin.

Very similar to the philosophy of mid-majors in college basketball or the CCHA programs where they generally get a lower level of prospect in terms of pro potential but develop them fully and use all of their eligibility. With the added benefit of the Covid extension, the Bobcats had players who were four and five years older than many of the high profile players for Michigan and Minnesota.

 

[Canes]

You don’t have to be a stacked team to win in the ncaa.

Well, the thing is, even if they weren't stacked with players who will play in the NHL, they were stacked with outstanding college players. Like the goalie stats and the +/- their many of their players put up were video game like.

Statement should probably be you don't need tons of high NHL draft picks to win the NCAA title.

It's outrage bait imo. Look another guy doesn't want to sign in Canada! When it's just a 4th liner. Most teams sign their college guys.

 

[dwonger]

Didn't even know this guy existed nor that he was even on my Team. 2017 6th round pick lol

Huge? He's 6-2 175 lmao

 

[Maple Leaf]

This guy thinks he is lindros
brett lindros

 

[ZDH]

That name is heinous anus.

 

[Snake Eyes]

Did he really name his kid Skyler?

Maybe he named him Rod Jr. but it is an Indiana Jones thing.

Think that may be outdated. Though it may be he's a bit of a straight-legged skater and appears taller than he is.

And that’s what I’m saying. The poster I quoted mocked someone for saying Quinnipiac wasn’t stacked with great players as in potential NHL prospects. I’m saying you don’t need NHL prospects, if you have good NCAA level players and a good system you can win it all. To me that’s what Quinnipiac is. They weren’t secretly hiding players the scouts missed who are should be NHL top picks. They’re a true team.

 

[Hookslide]

Watch this be the downfall of Carolina, his dad puts him in all situations and he's just a grenade in the NHL.

The team then stops playing for Rod as he doubles down trying to make the best for his son.

So Rod is saying that that should they meet in the Cup finals the Oilers should beat his team in the finals because the Oilers have the better line up .............But wait ,next year we will win because we have my son in the line up...........Roddy just threw his team under the bus and is on the road to losing his team.....I wonder what the next Carolina's thoughts will be about young Skyler....

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Maybe he named him Rod Jr. but it is an Indiana Jones thing.

Most people don’t realize Rod’s real first name is actually Roderic. No joke.
