Aright, and with that we’re done. I’ll do a quick double check to ensure everyone is eligible for RFA status, post the full list and we can aim to get started with the offersheet period next week.

fuck

Whatever you do, don't look at twitter re: Mitchell Miller. The discourse is...

"Arizona Coyotes top draft pick was convicted for bullying Black, mentally disabled teen"

200 hockey men agree, hockey dudes rock!!!

What the fuck. I love that they are rocking both Eichel and Barzal somehow.

Hoping we can get started soon, I'm waiting on practice and Kurt Russell (who I'm not sure has registered for the new board) before the RFA period can begin.

And thanks for flexibility on Murray, I edited my post.

Pretty sure Mark Stone is too old to be an RFA.

That's the only name that jumped out to me so far in this thread.

Stone is definitely too old for RFA. He turned 28 in May which puts him a year and a couple months over the age limit.

Remember when the Oilers traded the picks for Barzal and Beauvillier for Reinhart, who was then taken by Vegas in expansion but never played a game for them? Good times.

In other news, the Oilers signed Kris Russell to a one year extension worth "under $1.5m." This tells me a few things: 1. Holland values Russell, but not highly 2. Klefbom is going to be out for the season and the Oilers needed someone expansion eligible who they are willing to expose 3. The Oilers ...

Apparently Karpat (Poolparty and 2021 top prospect Aatu Raty’s team) has a bunch of confirmed COVID cases, are in isolation and have had a bunch of games postponed.

Not great, Bob!

Does anyone object if I change my mind and NOT qualify Murray

Bucky O'Hare is an all-time great NES game and the cartoon has an absolute banger of a theme song:

Apparently the oilers offered Hall a 1 year, 4.75m deal. Avs only offered 1 year, 4m.

TOO BAD THEY SIGNED THAT IDIOTIC KASSIAN CONTRACT

Yeah I saw that quote and had the same thought.

I also want to share that with all of the chuds who are all "Holland is GOD" - like, the team is not any better than last year and Holland is not still cleaning up Chiarelli's mess. He signed a lot of the contracts that are inhibiting improvement.

In an offseason where Schmidt goes for a 3rd, Murray goes for a 4th, I have a really hard time seeing how they're going to make it work without sweeteners.

That Ching story is absolutely insane.

Not going to lie I'm a little surprised not to see Hamrlik on that list given production and longevity, but it seems like they might have favoured cup wins and performance during peak years

As someone who is slightly too young for the glory years of the Oilers, this is the crew I remember most fondly: Janne Niinima - Roman Hamrlik Boris Mironov - Steve Staios Dan McGillis - Bryan Marchment I don't know if all of these guys played together but it's probably pretty close. I think they ac...

I have a theory that GMs who were good hockey players are better than GMs who were bad hockey players but I don’t want to dig any deeper. Think DGB would write this one for me?
