I’m not tossing Holland under the bus either. Secondary scoring should be there. We need some playmakers on these bottom two lines.

I think the P.Russel experiment is over. He’d be a great addition to the Condors.

What’s up Mr. Benson?

Also Benning. Wishing Persson a speedy recovery. Bring up Jones for a couple games while he conditions in the AHL.

I am not throwing Holland under the bus either. I am sure he was aware of guys like Benson, Yamo, etc. Every GM in the league knows what other teams have to a degree. I know he watched Bakersfield in the playoffs last year so he got to see them play a bit. I am sure he saw a few guys like Benson, Marody and had a book on Yamo from scouts. He probably knew they would be close but most likely needed more development time. Realistically, Benson and Marody are probably 3rd liners. Even Yamo is probably a 3rd/maybe second liner. So he brought in a bunch of guys for the bottom 6 on 1 yr, cheap deals. The purpose was to give the young guys the time they needed. I don't think he thought all of the guys he signed would pan out but I am sure he expected some too. That includes guys he resigned.

Khaira. He was bad last year but there are a ton of guys in the media, including the stats guys that are big on him. If the Oilers negative media stats guys are high on him, you have to think Oilers scouts would be high on him. Lowtide raved about him for years. I think he's been worse than last year.

Chiasson had 22 goals last year. He was resigned. We'd all like the every contract to be cheaper. I don't think anyone thought he would get 22 again but low to mid teens was realistic as he has many seasons of that. I know people are down on the signing and there are a lot of I told you so's but I believe if they are truthful, how do you let 22 goals just walk from your line up when you need depth scoring. He's been quiet.

Granlund is a pretty proven bottom 6 guy. He was signed for 1 year at just over 1 mill. Getting 10 from him isn't unrealistic. He's done it multiple times playing in the same role.

Sheahan playing in a bottom 6, checking role has scored around 10 or more goals multiple seasons.

All those guys are signings or resignings. All are reasonably good bets and some should hit.

Next level.

Jurco a shot in the dark. Has NHL skill but doesn't seem to be able to put it together nor does he have the desire. He will be 27 in Dec. You'd think we'd see a hungry player because this is probably it for him in the NHL if it doesn't go well.

Archibald doesn't have a ton of resume but had 12 goals last year. Seems like a Tippett guy. Illness and injury maybe help him back. Hard to say.
I think the P. Russell experiment needs to end. I like the hustle and try, I know Tippet like him because he gives it his all, the offense isn't there. He's a tweener. He's this years Brad Malone. A good AHL guy who does lots of things right, does some things at an NHL level, does what the coach asks which coaches love, won't kill you if he's in but just doesn't have any NHL offense.

Nygard I think the team misses. He seemed to be getting better with each game. I think they have a legit player in him. His injury came at a really bad time.

Haas was a shot in the dark. I didn't mind the try. I think he's a guy that actually has some legit pieces and could be a player. I just think he needs a full year in the AHL to get used to the NHL style of game. I think this is it for him if he doesn't click in the NHL. He's already said he wouldn't stay in the AHL all year if it wasn't working. I bet he goes back to Europe in the next few weeks

So there is 8 guys, 6 of them have having NHL experience and most of them having proven track records playing the same roles they are asked. You'd think some of them would hit.
