I know this should probably be in the AHL section but I want it to get complete viewing pleasure. You have to see these moves he pulls off in a skill competition, unreal...

This kid is amazing!! :thumbsup:

It's going to be interesting to see what he does in the NHL with the Oilers.

That is pretty intense. Some comment on youtube said that he was cut from the Oilers twice, because he needed to work on his defensive skills? I don't know. Good moves for sure.

 

[BE-LEAF-ABLE]

Yeah, he was cut because they didn't think he was a complete enough player. Something about him being one-dimensional, from either MacTavish or Lowe I think.

He nearly made it this year though. He was cut on the last day.

By th way, nice moves. I liked the last one in the 1st video most. That was the best one.

 

[ReLyT]

He got cut cause he doesn't play Mactavish hockey. HE'd be on most teams int he NHL. Look at the Oilers, besides Hemsky they are four lines of the same player... for the most part.

 

[BE-LEAF-ABLE]

Yeah, that is noticeable. Sykora sticks out a bit, but for the most part it's mostly the same team from top to bottom. Losing a few players this off-season may have helped there. The Oilers looked like much more comeplete team last season than they do now (and have for the last few years before las year's off-season).

I thought either Horcoff or Stoll were going to change things there, but it seems that they've both been struggling.

Maybe a Robbie Schremp is what this team needs to shake things up. :dunno:

 

[ReLyT]

They have a ton of skill in guys like Syvret and Schremp... and im not just being a ohl or knights homer but both guys on other teams wouldv'e been given much better shots... it's not a secret the oilers players feel the same way but theres nothing they can do since mactavish is still the one who brought them to the promise land.

If the oilers got beaten out early last years playoffs he was going to be fired. Kinda hard to when he takes you to the finals though... I'm hoping they stink it up

 

[imported_shookem]

I hope somehow this guy comes back to the east. I can't stand having him rot in Edmonton (not that it's not a nice city ...).

He's not exactly lighting in up in Scranton though.

Not even 10 goals, kind low for a "scorer"

 

[ReLyT]

He's stuck on the fourth line and in the press box in a deep Penguins minor team... they'll develop their own players before him... he's got pretty okay stats considering his icetime

That's not too bad then, any chance of him getting the ice time soon? I don't even know where Wilkes-Barre is.

So... you want him gone then?

And yes, I also think he would have been fired if they didn't go that deep. I don't know what the rush to sign him to a 4-year deal was (it was 4 years, right?)

 

[ReLyT]

Doubtful, but he's definitly a steal if your in a fantasy hockey league go after a gm saying he's barely even scoring in the AHL but I like him personally and you probably could get him pretty cheap...

 

[ReLyT]

I want either Mactavish gone or for the Oilers to trade Syvret and Schremp elsewhere... Lupul is another example of skill wasting away in Edmonton

It's in Pennsylvania I'm pretty sure.

Those are some pretty awesome moves though, I would also like to see him play in the East.

It is. I remember passing through there when me and my family were on a trip to Atlanta some years ago.

The flies there are brutal at night.

 

[faulkner91sf]

Those are some sick moves.....but haha I hope he never tries that in like a shootout or something or MacTavish will snap his neck.
