No particular benefit in waiving Gilbert now, is there? He's not eligible for the AHL playoffs, and his cap hit goes away at the end of the season. Might as well keep him here.

That settles it. We need this man on the team for however long Draisaitl is an Oiler.

You don't anticipate they'll need the roster spot for a forward?
Zary, Greir to come back. Coronato and Pellitier only ones waiver exempt.
Damn, one of our only players who wasn't afraid to throw a hit. Who the hell is gonna speak Russian with Mukh now?

Okhotiuk‘s underlying numbers where bad, even considering context. One of the few players where those numbers and the eye-test didn’t match for me.
That’s probably because he brought some Ooompf and his stickhandling and skating looked really impressive in bursts.

Really low for a guy they hyped up a ton in the Meier trade.

After being told by Sharks management that Okhotiuk was an important part of the Timo trade, it's hard to see him gone for a 5th after only one year.

I thought Okhotiuk looked better than Thrun. But I'm very bad at judging talent and potential at this stage. Still, Sharks have very few players who can play the body.

Sigh.
