Oilers sign Giroux

@AHLBarons #OKCBarons RT @Nick_OilersFan Oilers sign former AHL MVP Alexandre Giroux. Details to come.

Not that I Feel this is any big loss for the big club, it will have an affect on the bears.

Ultimately I wonder if the Oilers will try to play him in the NHL?

Giroux in the NHL? Maybe on the Oilers, not on any NHL quality team though. The bears lost a great AHL forward, but Giroux will probably get more money/NHL time with the Oilers so can’t blame him for the decision.

Happy for him, really—a one way deal…he showed everyone here what he had, and EDM needs an infusion of winning anywhere it can get it. He has nothing more to prove at the A. And it sure doesn’t hurt to open up some more space on a scoring line for someone down on the farm.

“he had to clear waivers both times we sent him to hershey”

That’s not what a one way deal is. It has to do with the players salary. 1-way and 2-way have nothing to do with waiver status.

I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.

Stupid NHL 10! But...

It does reinforce that it’s time to have a simple resource for fans to see players’ contract status and various flags. NHL.com wants to be the comprehensive portal? Time to take it up a notch with a blast from your code weasel. Bam!
