Oilers sign Ryan Murray (1 yr, $750k)
Oilers finally get the player their scouts wanted over Yakupov but "higher ups" overrode them

Is this an improvement to their D corps?

They had to bring in a Stanley Cup champion because we did.

I mean, they needed a left D. So to them, perhaps.
Also blows my mind that left D Klefbom - currently on IR - is only 29. Dude seems like he's seen ALOT of Edmonton winters.

I know he was often hurt in his career, but was he hurt last year in Colorado or just scratched? Didn't even play a game in the playoffs.

Managed a whopping 0 goals, 4 assists and a -3 in 37 games with a strong Avalanche team last year.

They should sign Galchenyuk to a deal so they can have all 4 busts from the 2012 draft west their garbage jersey.

29 is 46 in Oiler years.

Last year, he had it rough.

Either way, I kind of doubt he'll play a lot of games. 50 seems to be the cap before injuries derail him. |
Nice. He's 45% better than Keith.

Always had a soft spot for Ryan Murray as one of my most tangential NHL connections - my wife worked with his mom.
Anyhow, it's a pretty minor "What if?" of hockey history but I wonder what would've happened in the alternate universe where the Oilers draft prairie-born, Oiler-fan Murray over Yakupov in the 2012 draft? Is he still injury prone? Does that team do better with a defensive defenceman? One thing's for certain - unless he's traded, he doesn't get his name on the Cup (though not sure he did last year based on games played - team may have to petition for him to be added?)
