Orlov just signed with SJ.. 2 x 6.5M .. hilarious.. watched Carolina in the playoffs.. that guy is done.. SJ must be trying to get to the floor perfect landing spot for him..
Oh.. and they just claimed Nick Leddy off waivers from St. Louis.. just helped St. louis clear $4M for free.. thanks Greer, you bum!
|
Orlov, Klingberg, and Leddy all added to their blueline. I bet between the 3 of them they get a 1st and two 2nd rounders put of trading those guys in the next 18 months.

Yeah kinda smart on Greer's part.. he needed to reach the floor and he'll be able to trade everyone of these guys for picks at the deadline .. except that both Klinger and Orlov have NMC's and Leddy has a 16 team trade list.. a little tougher on Orlov.. he's got a 2 year at 6.5
Who knows, might even see Klinger back here.. apparently he was funniest guy in the room according to Stecher.. the guys loved him.. Stecher says he was the team "glue guy" ..

The term "glue guy" is most often used to describe a nice guy who isnt good at hockey anymore. You rarely hear it used about a really good, or better, hockey player because a teammate doesnt need to use a non-quantifiable adjective to describe those who contribute on the ice.
Klingberg may be funny but he was not very good. He crumbled under a forecheck and had trouble with any quality matchup. He made a couple good passes but not enough to make up for the deficiencies in the rest of his game.

We'll see how he plays after a full season.. his hockey with the Oilers was after a year and half off.. might ctater.. might be better

I suppose it could go either way but I wouldnt be willing to bet a 4M AAV that he improved his worth over a league min value.

LOL I agree $4M is nuts.. no contending team would do that.. too much risk at $4M cap hit.. SJ could do it because they needed to spend $ to reach the floor anyway.. plus they are taking a chance that he'll be good value at the trade deadline, and get a 2nd or even a 1st.. Klinger was smart in that he had them add a NMC when he signed.. that way he can choose who he plays for in the playoffs.. the team with the best chance to win.. and/or a team willing to sign/extend him the next season.
I posted the podcast mainly because Klinger was the last guy I'd thought would be the locker room comedian.. made me laugh! :)

Ya, I barely remember hearing him speak!
I agree it could be a good move by SJ. They are still tanking, needed to get to the floor and can take the risk.

Off to Dallas.. David Pelletier.. Oiler skating coach.. as Dallas Assistant Coach ????
Skating development is a key requirement for franchise prospects.. hope the Oil have an even better option than Pelletier.. like a full department/institute dedicated to player skating analysis and development

Looks like the Oilers have broken the brains of Dallas management after taking them down 2 years in a row. Nice to see.
