He is a great add because he's gonna be hungry for playoffs and winning a cup so he'll play any role by the end of hte season and has the ability to prob score 30 quite easily still playing with our big boys. At worst he's only a 3M contract we could unload at the deadline if the fit wasn't there.
spec you're such a fluff reporter.. buddy 'you think itll be nice to play with some of the best players in history?' what's next "do you think it'll be nice to play your first playoff game after 1000 regular season games"?
I canโt believe they got him for $3M. Heโs easily better than any 2nd line player. Heโs so quick on the turn. 3 steps and heโs goneโฆhe handles the puck like itโs weightless and wait until you see his slapshot. It doesnโt come at the goalie hard and lowโฆ he has such a fast release it almost looks like itโs not coming off his stickโฆ upper corner, upper post.
I think he would be deadly on the 1st line but after a 57 goal season by you know who, he deserves a 1st line spot.

Welcome to Oil Country Jeff, stay ready for the dumb questions from the reporters.
From Foegle to My Name JEFF!
What was the term?
Lots of guys from Ontario and no Russians on the Oilers makes for a closer and more cohesive team.
Now we have Jeff and Stuart
