[Tentative] Skinner to Edmonton

[Disgruntler]

Riccio/Shah reporting Skinner going to Edmonton, 1x3m.

[Wing]

Hate to say this but makes sense. Have a chance to finally play a playoff game and get to play with McDavid. 

[Petey O]

The Oilers have definitely improved so far. Not good.

Because of Colin Delia?

[Bob Long]

checks cap friendly... yep still have Nurse and Kane. 

[gwarrior]

Cornering the market on Skinner's. Yeah, that'll get you a cup.

[Rounoush]

Aww that hurts. I wanted Skinner.

[Darius]

Buff fans complained about his lack of defensive play and him basically disappearing in big games...he will fit in well in the oiler top 6.\

$3M is decent on a 1 year deal, he can still put the puck in the net, especially with McDrai in the lineup

[Déjà Vu]

Hate to say it, but i think oilers have a great chance to win the cup this upcomming season, they added some key peices that were missing this year ...alot of teams improved, like even leafs improved with tanev ( aslong as hes healhty)

Ya they did great this FA day ...i think so too, added some much needed scoring to help there top 6

[HarbularyBattery]

Very good price at 3m

 

would have been worth it at 5m

Trying to out score you're problems. Works out wonderfully dosen't it? I'm happy with what we did today. We added size and grit to the defence. A couple pains in the ass to play against. The season can't start soon enough.

Hate to say it, but Skinner and Arvidsson will definitely help their depth scoring. Will be fun going toe to toe with them again next year.

I always say this, I don't ever pick a team to win a cup until after the TDL, Once the teams are set in stone then you get the best picture of who is a fav.

the extra weight of having to add "S. " to stuart's jersey is going to completely throw off his game.

They've got some incredible firepower.  Their offence was already potent.  Now they've added Arvidsson and possibly Skinner.

[Ghostsof1915]

So they plan to win by outscoring opponents?

Where I work, 'Skinner' is a bad thing to be called.

trying to outscore their problem? they were one of if not the best defensive teams in the playoff.. their problem was no scoring outside of their top 2.

In what way? They lost Desharnais and only notable signing beyond Skinner is Delia They’re going to take a dip defensively and they can already score. This was more lateral at best

Are you banking on a repeat performance like this by Skinner? Cause I wouldn’t guy can fold on Cloutier levels 

[flickyoursedin]

Dang Oilers added two really good top 6 cheap options for cheap. Wouldn’t be surprised if they got 60 points out of both Arvidsson and Skinner.

Not unless they decide to bring in a NHL quality D and goalies.  Toronto even realized that they needed to fix their blueline.
