The best part about the Blumel story is that is sounds like the Oilers didn't mean to lose his rights but just didn't understand the rules (drafted out of the USHL, but then went pro in Europe instead of the usual route). I am sure the information was posted in here, but for anyone that may have missed it, they sent out an official Tweet the same day they lost his rights praising him as a prospect to watch.
Too bad the Flames didn't sign him just for laughs.
