Oilers news!!!!! Wooo!

No miracle to report on the Oscar Klefbom front, as he tries to decide how best to handle what is believed to be an arthritic shoulder.
“Nothing has changed,” Holland said. “He’s hoping to be healthy for September. Next year’s training camp. I’m 99.9 percent sure Klef is not going to play in the 20-21 season.”
|
So, guess we're waiting for the season to start to sign anyone else in order to maximize the LTIR from Klef being out.
|
Arthritis? Ughh. That's not good as a chronic condition for someone who is what, 26 or 27? Surgery to remove bone spurs and growths, constant attention and I'm assuming meds to continue as a pro athlete. With arthritis, the shoulder is unstable by nature, can become brittle, and apart from mobility issues due to bony growth, there are also more than one muscle group that are affected in inflammation and unnatural compensation issues. That shouldn't be kicking in until the guy is in his 40s at least (speaking from the experience of a finely tuned sometime semi sorta not really athlete).
'Healthy for September'? Healthy? Pfft. I'd say Oscar's value is pretty much in the tank, hope I'm wrong.
|
Oilers need to be actively looking for a #1 defenseman. It is far from certain we get that from Klefbom again, even if he doesn't retire.
|
I don't think its possible to bring in a #1 dman. These guys don't move around that often and more times than not, you can only get them when they are past their prime and overprices. See Pietrangelo.
I think they will get that #1 internally. One of Broberg, Jones or Samorukov will surprise us is my prediction. I think Nurse settles into a really solid #2 dman starting this season.
|
Nurse will be forced to play top pair minutes this season, I don't see any way around tha0,t to start anyway. If Nurse struggles or gets hurt you're looking at Jones in that spot, or playing a RD on the left side. We're going to need a very healthy Nurse (hehehe) this season.
|
I agree, I think Nurse will take on a bigger role but I also think having a guy like Barrie to handle the PP time will be HUGE for the Oilers. Just because it takes the burden of that job off others plates you maybe aren't best suited. Even if Klefbom was healthy, not having to be on the PP would be a benefit to him.
I have said it before, I think the Oilers should be looking at building 3 real good pairings rather than having more traditional #1 pair, then #2 pair, then it drops off to your #3 that you play sparingly. Instead of having that 1 paring playing 25 mins a night and your #3 playing maybe 13 because you are scared to play them against anyone good, you have more balanced minutes.
