Among the many things that I and many other bloggers have talked about besides Robbie Schremp (I might have been the only blogger not inclined to devote ANOTHER full blog to Sugartits), are the interesting times. I wish I had tons of time to go over them all but these are the things that I have found strange this preseason.
Malhotra signing on the cheap. A cup is nice but $1.8 million vs. $700K is nicer.
Moore and Betts still unsigned. I expect Betts soon.
Skoula signing cheap in Pittsburgh after a good year, two other camps in Florida and Columbus.
Players you expected to make teams waived…and young ones too…Lashoff, Bourque, Cal O’Reilly, Al Montoya, and now Corey Crawford (Who I think is better than our back up in Edmonton). Of course many more have been on waivers but some of these young players are a surprise.
As for the Oilers, Reddox goes, along with Schremp. At some point we lose either Pisani or Nilsson to make cap. MacIntyre is still on a team with two guys, Stortini and Jacques that can fight. Gagner is on the fourth line, and we still don’t have a shutdown/faceoff/PK centre on this team.
Yep…odd times.
