So, in another lifetime, when Jason Smith was the captain of the Oilers, and Ryan Smyth's glorious mullet still graced the ice at Rexall on a regular basis, I loved the Oilers. And then the aforementioned heart and soul of the team were shipped off, Klowe offered Penner a 1000% pay raise, destroyed parity as we knew it, and then proceeded to pretty much suck. I think. I don't know. Gator going to Philly after Smytty to Colorado was the straw that broke the camel's back. For the most part, I'm loyal to players over teams. Anyway, point of the story was, we signed Marty Reasoner, from Edmonton.
I like Rease, and he's a great defencive forward. I think part of me is just waiting to be wowed by a signing, and I'm not thusfar. Except, you know, Kari. Because c'mon now. But I've been thinking about this, and BS, I want you especially to stick with me here. What we really need is a setup man for Kovy, right? Well, hello. We have it and it's been under our noses all season. Eric Perrin. I've followed this dude for like 6 years? I dunno, a long time. And one thing he has been consistently is a great disher. If I remember, they did pretty well when they were together last season, yes? Practice that. Anderson had a good career in the A and I'm pretty sure he's well aware who Perrin is and what he is capable of. So maybe we have our solution. I would reeeeeally like to see us sign one more NHL-experienced defenceman, but other than that, I think we're good.
BRING ON THE SEASON!
