Crabcakes Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I liked Dermott as a Canuck back in the day. Thought he had potential. Has had injury trouble every season since he was a Leaf and is 27 now. 3rd pair left shot D. Good luck. Depth for the Oilers I suppose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHLer Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Nice wouldn’t have minded extending the same PTO to him. Always liked him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM_Ranger Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I generally see PTOs as a good will gesture by the team. They think 'probably not but maybe' but give the player one more chance to get a contract anywhere. Agreed with Crabcakes that it was really injuries that stopped him from being a real part of this team. Hope he can stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were good until they got here and then “injuries” made them suck… Edited September 11 by DeNiro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were all brought in after the warranties expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t wanna go too into the past but I think this organization has had issues with hiring proper trainers and medical staff for awhile now. Hopefully JR and PA can bring a little more professionalism and stability to this part of the organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I would imagine most of the PTOs and last minutes contracts get signed by Friday. With about a week until training camps no players wanna be getting to know guys day 1 of training camp. Need a little bit of time to acclimatize yourself.

Ekholm is the only legit NHLer so tweeners like Stecher and Dermott should have a strong crack at the top 4 if Edmonton isn't still committed to playing AHL trash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Stempniak is probably the best in recent years. He put up 41 points in 63 games with NJ in 2015-16 after being signed as a PTO. Our summer signing Sprong was also a recent PTO with Seattle in 2022 and then put up 21 goals and 46 points in 66 games. Jack Johnson also earned a spot on Colorado's cup winning team from a PTO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Friedman a lot better myself ... he just never did much of anything in his limited time and I thought it was a poor acquisition from the get go. It wasn't even Benning though lol so I can't blame him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just vanilla as shit and not good at defence. At least he's not a complete waste of skin who doesn't know how to play defence. He just adds absolutely nothing to NHL hockey. He's AHL fodder at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
