Speculation: Steve MacIntyre Should be in Edmonton the rest of the season

[Broilers]

Smack is on waivers Sad, sad story. He would have been needed here 20-25 games a year as ayn deterrent.
Let's hope Calgary will not claim him. I really hope he will end up in OKC so he can be called up when game becomes tough.

Gazdic was billed as a little bit less the fighter he is but a much better player. I don't really buy it, Gazdic is pretty bad with the puck as well, only difference was MacIntyre was just chipping it out of his own zone where as Gazdic seems to prefer to skate it out and then turn it over in the neutral zone.

But really at this point my goal is for neither one to be here and everyone on the 4th line can handle the puck enough to get it to the other end and keep it there. I still hate our 4th line save for Joensuu.

I hope I never have to see Mac in an Oilers jersey again

 

[The Bored Man]

Love the guy, but he isn't an NHL player.

Though I hope he gets claimed anyway.

 

[Da McBomb]

just curious.. when a player gets waived, how much of his salary does he lose/keep?

 

[MikeModano9]

^^ Big Mac makes Gazdic look like Patrick Kane with the puck.

 

[Broilers]

The fourth line is playing so little anyway that one of our top9 wingers can rotate foruth line left wing position and Smac can be on the ice 1-2 minutes a game.

Gazdig can be on the team too. When we have meaningless games after Olympic break it would be a lot fun to come to see fights. If we have girly whimpy line up at that time. I will stay in home and keep reading good books

 

[Dooman]

I still find it unbelievably ironic that he injured himself trying to hit the person who would replace him.(opening up his roster spot in the process)

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

poor SMac but he doesn't belong in the NHL

Gadzic is light years better than Mac

He's on a 2 way, so it switches to his AHL salary

The guy got paid an NHL salary to sit on the IR and go hunting.

It could have worked out worse for him.

Nice to see that a good guy like Mac was able to pick up a NHL paycheck for a while. Great fighter, bad hockey player. Gazdic can play the game a little bit and hung in with a top 3 fighter in McGratton IMO. We dont need to waste a roster spot or cap space on Mac.

 

[Believer1]

Kinda sad as I thought he seemed like a nice guy but the chips have fallen the way the they were meant to be....it is a business after all.
Hopefully he gets another chance somewhere if warranted.

No kidding. Sad story my ass.

You and me both.

What a stupid signing by the Oilers.

Exactly. Why did they ever bring this guy back.

 

[The Nuge]

You and me both.

What a stupid signing by the Oilers.

We didn't sign him...

 

[Dorian2]

We didn't sign him...

Oh..OK.

You get my point though...right?

 

[The Nuge]

Oh..OK.

You get my point though...right?

Oh I do. People just keep posting that we signed him, so I thought I'd point that out

I hope they do. be nice for someone else waste a contract on a guy that can't play the game.

 

[thadd]

I like watching him fight, but he can't play hockey. I'm glad he got waived. Hope he gets claimed. He shouldn't be in an Oil jersey.

Meh... he's filler until we have size + skill.

Hopefully Curtis Hamilton and Pitlick end up as serviceable 4th liners. We don't need fighters, just forecheckers/hitters... which those two are. However, they are often injured more than they are playing.

Pitlick is very close, but Hamilton hasn't played much yet this season. He's a pick that I liked a lot at the time, when he was drafted, but he's struggled since turning pro. I was hoping that this year would be his year, but he's suffered quite a few setbacks with injuries in his young career. I just want the kid to play. I'm sure hoping that he elevates his game significantly.

Cleared waivers. Don't know if he will sniff the NHL again.
