I hope this ends the Dach at C experiment. Too many legitimate NHL Cs on board to have a winger shift to the middle, even with the injuries

Welcome to Oil Country, Filip Hallander! #LetsGoOilers

#Oilers News | TRADE Filip Hallander Acquired | Dickinson Returns | Game Day @ Ducks WATCH: youtu.be/PkilNNWVWtc #LetsGoOilers | @HeavyHockeyNet

After this trade, #LetsGoOilers have a roster that is $3K below $104M. However, because they put players on LTIR when they had $300K of space, they are still in LTIR & not accruing. When the LTIR players are healthy, they could activate them without needing to clear any cap space. They could also send at least 1 player down now & start accruing space. puckpedia.com/team/edmonton-…

Filip Hållander, Acquired by Edmonton is a 6'1", 190lb, 26 yo left shot C/LW drafted 58th overall by Pittsburgh in 2018. In 18 NHL games he is 2G-5A-7P. In Scranton over 107 GP he's 26G-36A-62P. Described in his draft year as a two-way forward with capable skating, hard working and good at both shooting and passing. At face value a 200 ft player.

Late night Oilers tweet: - Kirby Dach is and has been the main target for weeks. - Edmonton has talked to Boston about Poitras as a secondary option. - Boston wants a RHD but the offer is a LHD (Emberson/Stastney) - Believed that something happens before Wednesday.

Correct

10 years ago today, Connor McDavid was named the 15th captain in #Oilers history. McDavid also became the youngest captain in NHL history at 19 years and 266 days old. #LetsGoOilers

Something some of you may find interesting. Dad had a draft that he participated with some lifelong friends going back to (I believe) 1978, tomorrow marks the second iteration that I have assumed his seat as caretaker of his beloved Buffalo Chips. As the draft group has aged some, not all are able to attend in person now as they historically have. It used to be an annual trip to the mountains or to one of the members locales to hold the draft, this year it's here with us. I decided to take a break from lineblender to spin up a web app to help the folks who are remote, and so there was a common TV view for those who are here in person to assist in visualizing where the draft is at. The admin also has some extra functionality to reduce context switching ;) I'm pretty proud of it and thought it was cool and worth sharing. He would have been extremely proud of this.

The #LetsGoOilers put Savoie & Regula on LTI. They had $303K cap space prior to this, which means they can now exceed the cap by $1.43M. After calling up Samanski, they now have $762K Cap Space remaining in LTIR. puckpedia.com/team/edmonton-…

To answer some questions: * Had RNH been injured prior to Monday's roster submission, they would have likely swapped Samanski for Michaels & had less cap space when setting LTIR (more optimal LTIR capture) & included Samanski's PB's in their capture. However, since he was injured after, there was no ability to swap Michaels for Samanski prior to capturing LTIR. * Because Savoie and his PB's are on LTI, they have LTI PB room for Samanski. That means Samanski takes up $975K cap space while called up * They could have put Andersen on LTI & added his PB too, but they likely picked the players most likely to be activated soonest so they can leave LTIR as soon as possible & begin accruing cap space

THREAD ON CRIMINAL ASSUALT LEVEL PHYSICAL VIOLENCE IN HOCKEY: As you read this, just think about this happening in any other sport. Really think about it. 1999: Antigonish arena. My 16 year old Jr A mate was bending over to pick up his stick, and a 20 year old jumped him. /1

This is the problem that has plagued the #Oilers through many coaching staff regimes now. Babcock isn't off to a great start in fixing it, but it's only been one game. He's at least aware of it. Let's see how quickly he can fix it if he can fix it.

I see a top line, a 4th line without a true NHL C, and 2 more 4th lines. #Oilers have a legit 2nd line + Dickinson injured. Oy. It's gonna be a looooooooooong month in Oil Country.
