Just looking at some stats. I'm guessing the Jets are totally happy with Laine's play lately because the kid is losing money like nobody's business. Since his 5 goal output on Nov 24 when he was leading the league in goals, he's put up just 6 g and 12 points in the last 25 games...Wow I didn't know it was that bad.

Send him to home to Sweden over the All-Star break. Last time he went to Sweden he caught fire. Hire him a fulltime psychologists as well.

He's from Finland.

Somebody get that man a full time geographers!

Oilers clearing room for Zaitsev

Oilers clearing room for Zaitsev

At this point they don't even have the cap space to activate Sekera off LTIR.

In Chiarelli's defence though, who could have possibly seen that becoming an issue when he recently added $4.2mil worth of 6-7 defencemen in Manning/Petrovic.

Edmonton would literally be better off if their GM was an inanimate carbon rod.

I actually started with the full description of what the Potato GM's rules were, but then scaled it back to potato, thought better of swiping a Leaf reference, and went with the ol' C-Rod.

TIL Edmonton is over the cap (LTIR).

Koskinen over the last two months:

16GP  3.21 GAA  .901 SV%

He had a hot November and has been...ummm not great since then.  Edmonton is a tire fire of a team right now but I'm not sure how his performance earns 4+ million dollars or anything more than a 1-2 year deal.

Well they probably had to account for the fact that he plays a position of need for them and there's a learning curve for international players and he was still adjusting to a new country and team and league and he probably has room to improve and of course the player had the threat of leaving for the KHL as a negotiating tactic and... goddamnit this is basically the Zaitsev extension.

Done deal...Wow, just wow...Apparently you can get Oiler tickets for less then face value now. It's that bad there and seems the fans are fed up.
