I could see a PTO or 2 this fall. No true centers available that fit the bill as the 3C, which may mean Mika shifts back there.

That's the move.

Justin Dowling? Oooof! Better hope it’s an AHL depth signing as he’s not an NHL’er unless you’re as desperate as we were last years for a breathing body

1st year of 2 yr deal is a one way NHL deal. OOph

The #Oilers have acquired forward Isaac Howard from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for forward Sam O'Reilly. We have also signed Howard to a three-year entry-level contract.

Really good add by the Oilers.

From Dobber Hockey on O'Reilly:
"This 6-1, 183-pound center, grabbed 32nd overall by Edmonton in 2024, dominated the OHL with 71 points in 62 games for London in 2024-25, mixing sharp playmaking with elite defensive acumen. A former defenseman who transitioned to center, O’Reilly snagged the OHL’s Best Defensive Forward award and had 22 points in 17 games in the playoffs, proving he’s money when it counts. He’s a two-way force, shutting down top lines and owning the faceoff dot. His hockey IQ and grit give him second-line NHL center potential, especially if his scoring keeps climbing. O’Reilly’s blend of offense and reliability makes him a solid pickup, particularly with Edmonton’s thin prospect depth. For a 19 year old, he is very close to being NHL-ready. If he sustains that OHL dominance, he could push for NHL minutes soon. Team brass specifically acquired that 32nd pick to grab O’Reilly"

Really good add by the Oilers.

Both prospects seem very solid.

Not sure what the equivalent of a Ranger offer would have been

I dont think that would have been appealing enough to Tampa

probably would have had to throw in that Carolina 2nd rounder

i like his overall game, but yeah man there just doesnt seem to be any scoring ability there at the moment. does it pretty well at the AHL level, but showed me nothing in those games last year.

hopefully he has a big camp and gets some run in the beginning of the year

he just can't (frank)ing score!

stinks is probably harsh, but we dont really need another 6ft winger w/ limited offensive upside playing 3rd line minutes.

kids a grinder i'll give him that

He does have a great shot but had an issue 5v5 scoring. PP he was lighting it up in AHL
