I guess he's cheap, but why would you bring him back, he's offensively non existant.


It looks like the Oilers believe that this years roster with its unsustainable luck and power play is a contenda and they're bringing it back.

Oilers sure are loading up on the status quo. All the better when they inevitably miss the playoffs.

Always check the Oilers active roster first. Usually the last stop on the way out.

I’m confused. This isn’t a multi-year deal for $2m more than he’s worth. Did they fly someone in to make this deal?

He has just as many points as Sam Bennett in 7 fewer games.

When you find people willing to play in Edmonton, You have to try to keep them.

We’ve found the lackey to take the blame for missing the playoffs!

Sure valid point. Just like the points many Oiler fans make when the relate to James Neal and his point total. They forget to mention .....
How’s James Neal doing at 5 on 5 hockey ?

I guess the Oilers need to fill out a roster next year and he is cheap but I don't get the timing on this signing. There is no need to extend 4th liners/replacement level players to one year contracts during the season. Wait until the off season and then make your roster decisions. Seems like a team desperate to give their fans any good news after the McDavid injury.

What's a Nygard? Sounds like something I give my dog to prevent heartworm.
