I would maybe still take a look at Rattie. We're thin as hell on the wings, and he has shown he can play with 97 at times. He got injured early last year and never really seemed to settle back into the line-up. 1 year, 750K or something like that.

They had 2 seasons with Rattie and he didn't seem to get a lot of traction on top of the time he was up and down with the Blues. I am not saying it's a bad idea but wouldn't you just rather try someone else?

Sure, but will someone else at that price point be better? Possibly, maybe not. Could also end up signing another Rieder at more money and get less production. Not saying sign him today, it really just depends what else is out there. Maybe agree to circle back 2nd week of July or something.

I would have qualified Rattie and if it was a choice between them, not qualified Patrick Russell. I'm not saying Rattie is The Answer, but the Oilers signed all of Gambardella, Currie, Malone, and Russell, all guys about the same age and price. I think Rattie is the best of that group, has the ability to move up and down a lineup, and has proven the most of that group. If you are looking for a depth forward who can be in the press box, play anywhere in the lineup in the short-term, or move between AHL and NHL, I think Rattie is the best option. So in that sense, it's a little disappointing that decision.

I kind of agree with you there P. Russell I predict will be barely NHL capable, and he'll essentially burn off a pro contract, Rattie at least could keep up with the play and pot the odd goal, P. Russell has slow boots, and old. Potentially sign Rattie again after UFA season is over and the dust settles, just before training camp if he hasn't signed yet..

No way I want Reider, qualified or at league minimum, too s-l-o-w, got nothing done, he was a psychic bleeder, not worried at all what he potentially does elsewhere...

I think the difference between Rattie and Russel is Russel in a pinch can fill a 4th line role. He's decent defensively, can be on your PK, can forecheck a bit, and not kill you when he is on the ice. He won't score squat but for a couple of games, you can survive with him. Rattie is not good defensively, he can't be on your PK and doesn't bring much if he doesn't score which he doesn't do at the NHL level.
