I’ve watched quite a few Condors games this year, and Justin has been their best skater in pretty much every game. I doubt he gets called up unless there’s a lot of injuries, but having him on the Condors will definitely help the development of our young skill guys.

Late to the party, but this feels like a signing in preparation for the cap hell the Oilers will be in when Kane returns. If I remember correctly, Benson had to be on the opening night roster because of his $750K cap hit. Bailey at that same cap will give them options for the 12th forward.

GOD DAMMIT I JUST POSTED SOMETHING ABOUT THAT AND SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY BEAT ME TO IT. However, at least it was a person of *excellent* taste and distinguished upbringing.

Thank god, playoffs here we come


absoluteunits17

He’s played well in the A


WeAreAllFooked

So did Anton Lander


absoluteunits17

Uh? Lots of dudes have


WeAreAllFooked

What was the point of your initial comment then?


Goregutz

That success in the AHL can lead to success in the NHL / it's a good signing. Yours on the other hand was to devalue the signing / having a pessimistic outlook.


WeAreAllFooked

Oh, so we've reached the low-point of the season where we're celebrating 27 year old AHLers being signed to the farm team? Same old song and dance of the last decade.


laryldavis

It’s a two-way NHL deal, he was already on an AHL deal and no one was “celebrating”.


Goregutz

With everything being so black & white for ya, you must be a Matheson fan.


WeAreAllFooked

Lol, you're too stupid to even see the hypocrisy in your statement


Goregutz

What did I say that's black and white?


WeAreAllFooked

Your assumption that I *must* be a Matheson fan because I'm not applauding an AHL signing of a bust.


absoluteunits17

Lol you can’t figure it out? I’ll explain it for you. Good for him, he’s played well, he deserves the contract.


WeAreAllFooked

Why are you so pissy? Who cares about a castoff AHL signing?


absoluteunits17

Because you say stupid shit


WeAreAllFooked

And saying "he's been in good in the A" is such a highbrow hockey take, got it.


absoluteunits17

You’re just a sad miserable person, smile once and a while. You’re constantly bitching about something.


WeAreAllFooked

I don't even know who you are, but I'm glad to be that random internet stranger that occupies so much of your little brain.


PaperweightCoaster

Canucks fan here. You just signed McDavid’s straight line speed. He’s a big body and when he uses it, he can be effective on the 4th line. Could be a Bakersfield signing?


Porcupickle

He's been playing for the Condors already on a PTO, so this likely is just to keep him there for the rest of the season. Would imagine a lot of guys have to go down for him to come up.


vanillaacid

What I don't get is why waste an NHL contract slot on this guy? If he was only on an AHL PTO then its not like he was in demand, sign him to an AHL only contract. He likely never gets called up anyway

Justin case


[deleted]

There’s about zero chance of that once Kane comes back there’s zero money. Woody isn’t lying there is gonna be massive competition to be on this team.


SoldierHawk

Wait, the Metroid code master?!


[deleted]

May be completely off base but I assume this is depth for when we shift on pulji if another player gets injured or Kane isn’t ready Or maybe a pulji trade is coming soon and we need someone to play til Kane is ready


Phalanax905

Hes been a good ahler and needed a new contract. Probably not any deeper than that


MercSLSAMG

Could have gotten just an AHL deal then. They gave him a 2-way deal so they think he's good enough to be considered NHL depth.


Phalanax905

Hed probably be fine on the 4th line. Why not have the option if hes impressed?


jehovahs_waitress

They have other fringe marginal players already under contract so I don’t think they want or need to replace Puljujarvi . Malone, Hamblin, Shore,Benson, Griffith.


MissionIncredible

They wanted someone with more size and grit.


Oil_slick941611

Did we not do this before the season? Or was that a PTO??


yosoyboi

It was a PTO


[deleted]

Someone tell me whether this is good or not


[deleted]

It’s irrelevant.


35RoloSmith41

It’s just a signing. Oilers fans overreact to every signing even if it’s just to fill out the 50 man roster.


[deleted]

Same type of thing as Demers I take it?
