Turris on waivers.

Butt goal didn't cancel out all the games of him just floating around like a lazy turd.

Interesting how some players just lose "it" after a point. He was a good player in Ottawa.

Might be less about effort and more about age / wear & tear. Possibly a lesson there regarding Hall and/or Nugent-Hopkins contracts.

Anyways, I still like the signing. There was a chance he could turn it around, but they mitigated the risk with keeping that cap low. It didn't work out, they are still searching for that 3C, but most of Turris' deal can be buried in the AHL or the LTIR next year if necessary.

Only thing I didn't like about the signing is that once again, analytics was right on the player, and the Oilers didn't seem to pay that much attention. I don't mind a bit of a gamble, but there was evidence to suggest he was in a pretty sharp decline and we bet a couple years on him.

It was pretty disappointing how we got him. Tippett made it clear from the start of the season that he wanted a reliable #3C that could play on the PK. It was more than obvious Turris was not that guy from his easy to find history, and he never was, ever. He needed to be super sheltered and just let loose offensively to be of any use, probably needed to play wing too at this point.

But, to start, there he was on the PK. Useless. Tried to give him some defensive zone starts, useless. Now he's just been dragging his butt around. Saw one play last night where he was just casually carrying the puck in the neutral zone. Guy skates up beside him, give a little bump, steals the puck. Turris doesn't even take a stride to try to at least chase the guy as the puck moves back to our end. Useless.

Prime offensive ice time is all taken up here. No space to give it to useless guys that need some cherry ice time to be 1/4 as productive as the guys he would be taking that time away from. Need some depth players that can actually be depended on in all zones a bit.
