None of these players were washed up vets when the Oilers acquired them.

Peca was on the downside of his career but far from washed up.

Most of those players washed up while being Oilers or right afterwords. They never recovered from the damage they incurred here.

I remember being excited at the prospect of having Cogliano and Geoff Sanderson on the same line...

Oilers chased Geoff Sanderson for 10 years. It wasn’t quite as exciting when they finally got him.

 

[nabob]

He had some good moments early in his return season, but yes... He definitely wasn't the same impact player we traded away to the Islanders.

Watching him try to score that one last PP goal forever was as painful as watching Lucic trying to score now.

Todd McLellan.

 

[McWeber]

Teddy Purcell

 

[BlackDogg]

Ference and 30 other thoughts. Too numerous to mention.

I couldn't agree with Sykora.

He still chipped in 53 points despite being on a pretty terrible club.

 

[Stoneman89]

Norm Ulman

 

[Paralyzer]

Yeah but Nedved was awesome when he was here.

I couldn't agree with Sykora.

Oh I loved both players, but I I guess I read the thread title wrong Very tired today.

 

[BlackDogg]

Thought I read sekera. Hope not.

Well I mean, the second time Nedved was here wasn't so hot lol

Kurtis Foster. He was a decent offensive blueliner who signed with us in 2010 two years after suffering a horrific broken femur when he was with the Ducks. He played 74 games for us that year and was slower than molasses in January. He never played anything close to a full season in the NHL again.

Forgot about him. Weren't he and Hall going to be the magical formula to fix our powerplay?

Stan Weir.

Forgot all about Sykora.

Sykora has 63 pts the next year with the pens and then won the cup with them in 09
Hardly washed up yet then

Stan Weir.

Weir still had several seasons with the Oil. More like getting someone in the middle of their career.

I forgot Sykora played here.

Yeah I think there’s a pretty good list of players who washed out as Oilers or immediately afterward, like Purcell.

Sykora was a slight disappointment mostly because he went on to have to better year after leaving the Oil.

Peter Chiarelli

 

[dsi]

Don't remember if Sergei Samsonov was any good with us.

Had some good chemistry with Horcoff down the stretch and had some memorable good moments during their playoff run. Such as the pass to Hemsky late in Game 6 against Detroit, and the dramatic goal against SJ in Game 3 that tied up the game and turned the series around.

>Nelson behind an NHL bench again

Nelson is currently behind an NHL bench.

I agree. Was about to write the same thing. Joined the last WHA season and had 61pts in 68 games. First NHL year, had 66pts in 79 games (33 goals). I'd say hardly washed up.
