I feel like the only even half decent euro black ace the Oilers have signed was Haas, and that’s not a high bar.

I had a hard time assessing Nygard, since we saw him so seldom. 42 games over two years - 11 less than Patrick Russell, despite outscoring him (3-6-9 to 0-7-7). Coach just never took to him the same way...

It’s funny after all the complaining by our fans that the only two things I didn’t like this entire off-season was losing Haas who definitely brought the speed of the 4th up big time and Nygaard just leaving without being able to get a more of a shot. Apparently he was the best Oiler this season in camp but I guess it’s not enough to be put ahead of Patrick Russell. The team and especially the bottom 6 just got much slower, 2 of the 3 fastest skaters on the team.
Everyone will mention adding Keith slowing the team but I give vets a pass, they usually can figure ways to stay in the league.
