That quality seems to be a trend for the Oilers this summer. They also got Mike Smith.

No. Zero points and an overall -3 in 3 games against the Flames last season.

Yes... you're right... it did, you aren't seeing things and I'm sorry if my quick post sounded critical.

I figured this was coming. Makes sense. Cheap body for a team with few options.

Wasn't he flying on Galchenyuk's line? I recall him burning us with his speed. Point totals and +/- be damned.

His 12 goals and 22 points would have put him 6th amongst Edmonton forwards last year. So he is a legit upgrade on their bottom 6.

Of course, Edmonton will end up slotting him on the top line so it doesn't really matter.

Also, Toby Rieder scored 12 goals in 2017/18 (split between Arizona and LA). We know how that turned out last year...

0 points in 4 games against Calgary. Don't think so.

He had our number by scoring no points and being on the ice for some goals against?

Perfect Oiler. Hes already used to it.

Yeah he was fast, and outskated most of our guys on the rush. I remember quite vividly. Not the worst pickup for Edmonton.
