Good signing. I would like to see one more signing. On puckpedia they have 950 000 k in cap space. That is with Jones on the roster. If they send him down they’ll have almost 2 mil. I’d love to see Appleton for 1.9. Right handed (C/RW) bottom 6 player that kills penalties.
As a video idea, I think discussing basic concepts like free agency, cap space, and how the NHL player market works in general would be great in the off season for anyone who is just getting into hockey
I would not get to exited you might be disappointed ! He's a light weight and we have had way to many of those. They disappear in the playoffs, unless your a Fleury or a Marchand .
I know it’s tough to get a goalie with what they got but I just can’t get too excited until they get one. Not trying to be negative but just how I feel
Okay this makes today a little better. Happy Canada Day🇨🇦🇨🇦
He's younger, faster, less injury-prone, more aggressive, and better defensively (including PK-able) than Arvidsson- at a lesser cap hit.
Super smart move by Bowman, especially when looking at other contracts handed out today.
All upside
He is going to thrive as an Oiler!! Career high in points this season calling it now 🔥
Well, it's a start. Maybe they're on the right path
9:00 EXCATLY Bowan took his time today. lots of praise for his work today
He played with McDavid in one of the gold medal world hockey tournament
I don’t understand this signing. We just got rid of a small guy only to get another small guy.
He adds some beef to the 3rd and 4th line !!
Janmark year after year….amazing
I'd rather have Perry. Perry Literally out produced Mang all last season, and playoffs. So less production for only a million and a half more. It's another sign someone and then hope to God they have a career year here. That doesn't happen very often though. It's in fact really rare. Not judging anything yet, I'm semi kind of sure more moves will happen. But to this have this squad, with only 950K cap room is yet another serious regression, so far.
Good signing
Henrique McDavid hyman
Mangiapane Drais federic
Pod Rnh Savoie
Janmark tomasek kapanen
Phlip
Jones
This is a spot of bright news. It's almost enough to make me cheer up.
mang, good sign
what boesser better mange gives u what him and fredrick poor signing moving forward in my mind
Was worried the Leafs would get him, sweet
I don't see how they pull off getting a goaltender. Here's hoping that Skinner improves. 🙏
It wasn't nearly enough 2 AHL players and a 2nd/3rd liner is not enough
I can’t wait for the day when I can just be happy and not have the immediate thought that why the hell did we not just give Holloway 2mill. But hey at least the magpie can’t be worse then skinner and Arvidsson were
The 9.25 nurse contract hurts so much right now
So they lost 4 players and signed 1 lmao
Let's see, lost Perry, lost Brown, Arviddson, Kane, and probably Jeff Skinner. Mangiapane is good but he won't replace those guys. While Kane didn't play all year, the year prior, well, he did outscore what Mangiapane brings.
McDavid needs to give up some of the bag to get better players to join him…but he won’t. The Bag or The Cup?
Mangiapane is a WIMP ! 😂 McWimp is influencing this team furthermore in decline. Oilers will never win the Stanley Cup with McWimp, Crysaitl, Bouchard and Nurse vacuuming most of the cap.
damn the LA kings and Vegas knights have overtaken the oilers …..I certainly wish the oilers to reach the stanley cup final again as a panthers fan…hate vegas
The Oilers sure gave a lot of major gaps to fill and still haven’t done anything anout their Achilles heal! What’s the plan with goal tending ?
The Oil get worse every year because they have to give out ridiculous money to guys like Nurse, now Bouchard and next year Mcd will easily be over 15 million cap hit. You just can't tie up that kind of money in a cap world and expect to win. Florida has a bunch of 5 to 10 million dollar guys. Barkov is making same money as Nurse, but he takes less to win. Sorry but until Mcd and Drysitl take less for the betterment of the team you will continue to lose core players like Perry, Holloway, Broberg, Kane and Brown. I am thinking more that Mcd and Drai want to just make the most money and to hell with the rest of the guys. They don't even have money to get a quality goalie. Kenny Holland did the same thing to Detroit, gave away 1st rounders and look at them now cause that will be the Oilers in 5 years maybe less.
I feel like we got payed double for A.M. a guy that's worse in points, PIM, blocks, less shots, than Connor brown? So really pushing on the PK PP ? I mean I'm not thrilled if I'm being honest.
Did you forget about the 4 players they lost and no goalie upgrade? They took a step back.
As a caps fan too I love this signing for the Oilers
There no way the oilers go in to next season with this team no goailes lost all there grit they are going to get dog walk stan bowman will sink the team
Feel bad for the guy stuck living in edmonton
One more placebo for the delusional coilers. Mangiapane gave up playing in 2022. Will be waivers in December.
People saying this signing is bad gotta be smoking he’s great on the PK he can score he’s fast, and he’s absolutely annoying to play against. Overall good signing
Did I miss (Jeff)Skinner being traded or something?
This is a great addition!
However; goaltending will continue to suffer with the current goalie COACH. They've already tried changing head coach, D-coach, several forwards and defensive players AND tendies…
The goalie coach has to go – TOO MANY past and current goal tenders have been set up to fail under him.
This is good and all, but what about the goalie situation, are we just ignoring the fact that Stu is sub par most days, and Pickard is Amazing most days. If we Ride or Die with this Goalie situation as it is we Die.
This is just Arvidsson part 2. The same things we heard last year. "Great on the forecheck but undersized. If we can pair him with Draisaitl he'll be a 25 goal scorer again".
looking more and more like an expansion team, Mcdavid would be smart to move on, maybe they already know that
I agree n it matters
But we also signed Lazar who replaces Ryan
HAPPY CANADA DAY
Oilers can sign all the forwards and defense players they want doesn't matter goaltending is terrible Skinner and pickard back up goaltenders not starters sad!
