There's a report that the Oilers are signing Koskinen for 2 years at 2.5 per.

Chiarelli is a fuckin dumb dumb.

I forget which of the lovely PK/PP Woodcroft was responsible for, I think the PK, but the Oilers continue to avoid firing people by just moving them to different positions.

Woodcroft was responsibe for the PP. Now he'll get to teach it in Bakersfield!

Also its probably Gulutzan and Yawney being hired which is fine I guess.

MLB isn't expanding any time soon, at least not until both Tampa Bay and Oakland fix their stadium issues.

Imagine getting to negotiate with a guy who overpays for everything he wants to acquire.

You can only have 50 players on NHL contracts and most teams get pretty close to that each year. That's why you see random guys get thrown into trades to balance contract slots. Having a spare contract slot or two is always a good idea as you can take on an extra guy in a trade. He's never going to be an NHL defender and he actively blocks prospects by taking up a spot on the farm team without markedly improving them. His 18 minutes a night should be given to some 21 year old, but instead everyone gets bumped down a spot to accommodate his failed dreams because his dad doesn't want his useless son bumming around at home.

The oilers made a bunch of moves to try and have their prospects play more at the ahl level. It's why Woodcroft got the job and Fleming was sent packing.

Signing Keegan Lowe doesn't help this,, but the AHL D has Bear/Jones/Lagesson/Mantha on it and there isn't really any other defensive prospect of note to stick down there. So it'll be Gryba/Lowe/Stanton to fill the other three slots and be recalls (and possibly be the 7th drat in the friggin oilers). Hopefully the ahl depth chart changes from last 2 seasons when Fleming gave garbage minutes to anyone under 22 but we won't know until they play.
