I think they are actually trying to make legitimate moves to get out of the basement.

The problem is that the UFA market is garbage this season and they are trying to avoid trading any of their good assets, which leaves them with bargain bin signings like this one to hope that they are getting a "second line" winger.

I hope he scores 40 just to piss off Oiler fans

Pump and dump? Pump him up to 35 goals and trade him back to the Grease Pigs for a 1st.

All he needs to do is out score Howard

Finally the Oilers are down to only 1 Skinner.

The Sharks dedication to being bad is unmatched. Terrible defence that needs help and they sign Jeff Skinner LOL.

Did you happen to notice if they acquired any defencemen at all?

Klingberg, cap dump Leddy and Orlov almost seems like an effort to have a ####ty defence.

Not so much when you look at the players they got rid of to make room for them.

Sharks are at least 10 points better

That is probably fair. 30-50-2 seems like a reasonable expectation for them next year.

That JFresh card is a 3 year average. Three years in which he went from 35 goals/82 points to 16 goals/29 points.

These are certainly odd statistics as we’ve been told that players sign to play with the glitter twins who then elevate the players around them. Odd statistics.
