Nurse's agent says the 5M of space we have left is clearly not enough for a long term deal for Nurse, hehe.

Also makes this comment:

"They bought out Eric Gryba to add another player (50-man protected list) which cut into their cap"

Matheson adds in that 50-man protected list comment to try to excuse Chia, but we all know that doesn't matter, we weren't near 50, and we don't need to be near 50. Entertaining to see Nurse's agent plainly said that was a cap hurting move, needless gryba buyout.

...another confusing quote from the article....

..." The list of possible depth forwards out there includes Scottie Upshall, Drew Stafford, Lance Bouma, Nick Shore and Jason Chimera. But they might just invite some forwards to camp on tryouts and see what happens instead …"...

...wasn't Chimera signed by the Oilers???...

Thought Matheson tweeted a while back that he was done with his Stafford to Oilers suggestions. Just can't help himself :)

Lol. Was just thinking that. He probably forgot he said that about 30 seconds after he tweeted it.

I'm fairly confident that he will be pushing for Drew Stafford years after he has retired.

You know...because he's senile. And stupid.

There are lots of Edmonton media I can't stand. I think Terry Jones is a pompous ass who thinks he's as big and important as anyone he covers. I think Spector is lazy and a pretty terrible writer for someone paid to write. Rishaug is just a waterboy.

But I've always had time for Jim Matheson. I always thought he was the best beat writer back in the day, and on the couple times I ever looked to interact with him, he always wrote back promptly and responded.

But I do think he's past his prime now. He seems unaware that a quick internet search can save him a lot of backlash on tweets, and he's constantly undereducated on cap issues. His ideas of player value are baffling to say the least, and he's allowed his long friendships with Oilers management to prevent him from ever being critical of them.

I really wish he'd hang them up now. I don't think he adds much of interest any more, and the mishmash Journal/Sun organization could probably hire three young writers for what they pay each of him and Jones. There's a desperate need for some new blood covering this team.

I do wonder who the Athletic is likely to announce as their Edmonton hire...

Well, Terry Jones 'is' big, just not that important (sorry for the bodyshaming, but I don't think Terry gives a fark). Anyway, when sportswriters were pretty much the only conduit we had to the team, they were important. Now....yeah, some guys are connected and more connected than others, but information now is so prevalent that these guys are much less relevant. Honestly the only reason I'd read or listen to Terry Jones or Matheson these days, or Spector...is if they've got an interesting story to tell, or an applicable bit of insight. I think the expectations are pretty low in this era.

Old guy talking - I used to look to Stan Fischler and others in the Hockey News, you know, everyone had to have the insight going into their regular season or playoff hockey pools. No talking heads on TSN or RSN then. Those days are over, and the old beat reporters are just playing out string.

Really, Rishaug is kind of a joke, not his fault though that people will pay him to do what he does - because he's got no history, not really any interesting anecdotes, and no more insight than most of the people you'd find on a message board, despite his access. Maybe in 20 years, sure.
