They aren't the first, they're the only right now, i'm sure other teams throughout NHL history have done this

same number of round 3 wins 🤷‍♂️ tiebreaker goes to the team that doesn’t associate with criminals


wasn't Virtanen declared innocent in court? I am not %100 sure I never pay attention to famous court cases I hate that kind of drama

if holl could be traded for free it wouldve happened already


The reason he hasnt been traded yet is Sandin is being stubborn with his contract. Why trade away Holl if Sandin hasnt agreed to a deal yet

As then you would be using Mete or Benn who are arguably worse than Holl until Sandin gives in which if were looking at Gross and what he did with WN that could take till December

So until Sandin comes to an agreement Holl's staying put

The Oilers have zero need Virtanen but yet they go out and give him a PTO anyway now hundreds of SJWs on twitter are labeling them "the most disgusting team in the NHL" when personally I don't think this is worst then the 2010's Blackhawks. It is really annoying to me that the Oilers have to start of this drama.

side note: glad they picked up Demers what they need is help on the d-zone so hopefully he brings that and gets a contract

"For some reason, the Edmonton Oilers have signed Jake Virtanen to a professional tryout", Oilersnation headline right now. No one in the fanbase wants Virtanen

It’s a good signing and they could now have the best top 9 in the league

Virtanen is not a good player. He doesn't make the Oilers better. He is fast but has no skill

It's absolutely not a good signing, given how Virtanen was barely remarkable with Vancouver and got outscored in the KHL by juggernauts such as Taylor Beck and Nail Yakupov.

Its a PTO its not like they paid him 3M. Theres no downside apart from bad publicity from the lawsuit. If they sign him the cap hit will most likely be under 1M so even if he doesnt perform well they can bury him with no cap implications, and if he does perform well then they get a player on a cheap contract

It really isn't he is a bust and in the best of times he is a ok 3rd liner and that is not worth the baggage that comes with him, he is just a former high pick.

Kane-McDavid-Hyman
Nuge-Drai-JP/Yamo
Holloway-McLeod-JP/Yamo
is already pretty pretty good

Alternatively they could've just not signed him to a PTO and avoided the bad publicity all together.

I think they would rather take the chance and potentially get an NHL player for cheap

Based on the Kane signing they dont seem to care much about bad publicity anyway

They literally would've done better if they signed Nail Yakupov or Ryan Spooner to a PTO.
