stranger Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 The Oilers have 1 less RFA to worry about. TSN said Omark signed in Switzerland for 1 year. Omarks timing couldnt of been worse.The guys definetly got talent but hes kind of a top six guy .He was rolling in the AHL[16pts in 18 games} then suffered an angle injury.Ended his season just when OKC went on a good playoff run.The Oilers still have his rights so if he can put together a solid season in the Swiss leaque anything can happen.Trade value if nothing else and would give the guy another shot at the NHL..Hes still young and defintly brings excitement to the game.Best of luck to him.

DL44 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Another great contract and term for the Oil. The kids have bought in. I have no doubt The Nuge will follow. The top end talent up front is fricken scary looking for the next 6 yrs. It's just fail-proof for Tambellin/Lowe up front. I'll just continue to hope and pray they fail to get their #1 on D and in goal... Congrats Oil fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carty Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Also, 47.3% of all quoted stats are made up on the spot. 47.4% of all quoted stats are made up... The figure increased a bit because I just made that up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessierII Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Don't ruin their happiness. Humor them that all these future stars love Edmonton (maybe the long summers & lack of pressure). They got him for less then Toews (especially when adjusted to % of cap). Toews already had a SC & Olympic Gold to go with his 2 WJC Gold & WC Gold & other awards but Taylor has a Memorial Cup under his belt & Jonathon doesn't (might have something to do with the fact he never played in the CHL). Toews hadn't won Olympic gold or a cup when he signed that extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Toews hadn't won Olympic gold or a cup when he signed that extension. He had by the time it kicked in. & nothing in my post mentioned that. I said your Oilers signed a player for a bit less then a guy that had both NHL & international awards.

Hall has another year before his kicks in just the same. It's impossible for him to win Olympic gold (next 1s are in 2014) & unlikely he wins a SC (he plays for the Oilers ). It's the Oiler fans that keep raving about how re-signing those youngsters is a great deal. I mentioned they were signed for less then Toews & that the fact he had those trophies & medals in his display case. That might be the reason he makes the extra .3 per year. Dang, you guys are testy!

gsp393 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Toews is on a whole nother level. The guy had no injury problems. He was a thirty five goal scorer his second year and tore it up in the playoffs that year which they made the conference final if memory serves me. Hall hasnt even played in the 6-12 spot battle in the last month which is similar to the playoffs nevermind an actual playoff game. Hall also has some major injury concerns. Hes a great player. But all I see is another hemsky in how he is way overpaid for the amount of games he actually plays in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season is the 2012-13 season which will be followed by the 2013 playoffs. The majority of the regular season and the entire playoffs will be played in 2013.

It's July 1/13. You're evading the question. You know about NHL 13? Did you're great grandson ask for NHL 13 for his birthday? I was never asked a question. This all started because someone was petty enough to state that Hall's contract started in the year 2013 which would continue into the 2013-14 season. Every season has the majority of their games, all-star game and playoffs in the latter part of the title of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
