Could possibly see DSP getting a contract due to the possible RW gap, but the issue with him has always been the stretches of inconsistent effort through the regular season. When he's on he's an okay checking utility player who is surprisngly disciplined but when he's off he's a liability. He's also a great teammate in the room/off the ice.
Would love to see Rieder signed only to have a wonder season to rub in the Oilers' face, but realistically I don't see a fit.
