Announced by Ken Holland this evening, Andreas Athanasiou and Matt Benning will not receive qualifying offers, and will head to free agency! I’ve got this Edmonton Oilers news covered in today’s Edmonton Oilers video on Dolynny TV!

Dam, what a bad trade…
Look, who would want them. They wait a day they have UFA's. The Oilers can "try" but it's doubtful there will be takers.
An absolute disaster of a trade for KH. Theres gonna be a lot of good players sitting there in the mid 40's tomorrow to pick from too. He better make up for it somehow
Why wouldnt they qualify them… even if they were to leave we would get compesnation
There’s the first nail in the coffin for Holland
Time to trade holland why would you let AA walk
Better be a big signing on the way
On the flip side it opens up cap space
Hey this pandemic didn’t help anybody. There are lots more fish in the see and Greeks don’t play hockey Chirlle would have signed him to way to much
Phazer they become UFA’S as of Friday at ten mdt
I don’t know why people are crying about all of this, Holland took a gamble to better us and it didn’t work out. Things don’t always work, Holland has done well for this team regardless of the AA trade. Still a chance to trade for a 2nd round pick or even grab another 3rd. Also It frees up cap to grab one or two players that are going to be more effective than benning and AA.
Crazy to think he gave up 2 2nds for aa and lost green too! I can see not signing aa and benning but I would trade for something as I'm sure holland will. You like the hollaway pick? I wanted a goalie
Puljujarvi signed a 2yr deal!! Hopefully he’s a little bit more mature and learned a few things to better himself and the team. One piece of the puzzle solved.
This is why the wings fired him and hired Steve. he’s a bad judge of talent and a terrible cap manager.
I knew AA was a waste since the first game
2nd round pick
2nd round pick
3 round pick
Milan Lucic
John Marino in exchange for James Neal and a 6 round pick. Holland is brutal so far lmao
