Choosing to bring him in right away and burn an RFA year is interesting. I dont know much about him but it does give me concern that the Oilers are more worried than publicly said about the health of Drai, Hyman and Kane.

Less worried about the RFA year being burned and more just hoping that he will be good enough that we actually care about that later.
|
Excellent point, never crossed my mind that it was a negotiation tool.

Pretty much guaranteed. You have the option to bring him forward or to watch him sign with someone else who's going to burn that year.
As it happens, the Oilers are short bodies anyhow, so getting him a game or two isn't a hardship.
