Bruins crushed the Leafs last night. Oilers had long travel yesterday but no game, 3rd game in 4 days. Both teams will be tired. I'm assuming Skinner vs Ullmark.

I do not expect a run and gun 6-5 OT game tonight. Big test between two tired teams coming off big wins. Hopefully the blowout against the Pens kept our stars fresh. Only Ekholm and Bouchard played over 20 minutes (20:44 and 20:41 respectively)

Agreed

Pickard should start too. Been solid and give skinner some rest

This was the most correct prediction of the day. Gold star for you!

Erne already down. Not a surprise he loses out to regulars Ryan, Janmark, and Perry. Probably trying to get him though while it's easier before they do something dumb on Friday.

No one coming off injury, so the only reason for it is if there's a deal coming and they need a roster spot to make it work.

It's a paper transaction to clear extra cap space. He won't play so all he does is take up cap space.

And I believe once he clears they can move up and down without having to go through waivers again for 30 days. I may misinterpreted that, but the Oilers will be dollar in, dollar out if they make any additions for the rest of the regular season

I think that is correct. Once a player gets waived and if he doesn't get claimed, he can be called up and sent down for a period of time.

I can't see any team claiming Gagner.

15 points in 27 games in limited minutes? That's a valuable depth player for a team hoping for a deep run.

I hope you're right and no one claims him, but it's certainly a non-zero chance. Maybe we can get his agent to tell people he wouldn't report or something to scare them off...

I am sure I am wrong. I fully admit I haven't personally tracked Gagner's points this year like I bet you have. I know you have told me the Oilers are liars so I didn't go to their site. I went to the NHL site and it says Gagner only has 10 pts in 27 games (5 goals, 5 assists) not the 15 you listed. But in saying that, knowing you are much more informed than anyone who runs the league, I am sure those stats are wrong as well and yours are right.

OH RDOF. You sound so angry when you go off like this.

Thank you for catching my error. This is what happens when you go by memory and don't look things up. I think my point still stands though.

I'm not predicting whether he'll get claimed or not. I just said it's a non-zero chance that he does. It would be disappointing if he does go. If I was running the team, I'd think Gagner had more value than Brown or Ryan and I'd have probably put them up first given the pair have 16 total points in 109 games worth of action.

How could Brown have less value? Must have been lots of teams last summer offering him 4M+ when we fortunately won the vicious bidding war thanks to his relationship with McDavid. A player's value doesn't drop that fast in ~half a season.

Can you imagine if you somehow unlocked his potential though? He could finish the season with two or even three goals!

Didn't Spezza threaten retirement if claimed when he was a Leaf? Not sure if Samwise would threaten the same, but I really want him to play in playoffs for the Oilers.

Almost exactly the same scenario. They needed to clear roster room so they waived him, and let be known not to bother grabbing him. It worked - there was no claim and he continued playing for the Leafs.
