Icon59 Oilers sign Brodziak (2 yrs, $1.15 mil AAV) and Kevin Gravel

Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec
Kyle Brodziak closing in on Oilers this morning. Could be surprised by another offer, but expecting two years and an AAV of around $1M for the 34 YO in EDM.

lisa dillman @reallisa
Per @RussoHockey D-man Kevin Gravel will be signing with the #oilers
In 70 career games with LAK, Gravel had 10 points (1 goal, 9 assists).

I think that’s a good signing for the Oilers. Brodziak addresses a weakness for them, someone - anyone - being defensively aware. It will make them tougher to play against, which isn’t a good thing.

Takes an opportunity away from their young guys though.

He will increase their "give-a-$hit" level
Solid 4th liner. Take him over Brouwer every time, regardless of salary

No one can save the Edmonton Oilers.

Not Kyle Brodziak, not Kevin Gravel (who?), not anyone.

Nobody.

One-year term on D Kevin Gravel in EDM.
Two-way deal pays $700,000 in NHL, $300,000 in minors.
$450,000 guaranteed.

Gravel was noticeable for the right reasons in LA.
He'll be noticeable for the wrong reasons in Edm.

Watching the Oilers makes me nauseous, so I approve of this signing.

Is the mountainous one?... i saw a Kings game here in Vancouver last year and they had one D that looked massive, I think it was him.

Edit : he's 6'4" 212 ..so he's big, but he appeared larger than that, to me.

This could actually be a good signing. I didn't watch see him play much last year but two years ago he looked primed for a breakout.

Anyways,

LOL, Brodziak? He's still in the league?
