    Default Peter Chiarelli could bring in a veteran center on a PTO

    EDMONTON SUN: Jim Matheson reports Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli could bring in a veteran center on a professional tryout offer to potentially fill their fourth-line center spot. Matheson suggests David Legwand, Mike Richards and Stephen Gionto as possible options. Paul Gaustad would also be an obvious choice, but he will announce his retirement within the next couple of weeks.

    Gotta admit Richards would be a great influence on all those kids!!!! Yeah right.

    FO%: 41.2, 44.8, 48.4

    Could be a long season if the Oilers spend more than half the time chasing the puck after face-offs.

    This is exactly why the Oilers are looking at bringing in a C on a PTO. All 3 of those guys are participating in the World Cup of Hockey and will not need/want to play many exhibition games.

    Everyone loves a PTO - I'm dubious that turns into an opening night roster spot though
    Experience is the teacher of all things.

    The Oilers could definitely use a centerman that can win faceoffs.. Is Malholtra still in the league??

    The Oilers use Letestu to win draws. That's why he gets PP time.

    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting

    A strong bottom 6 utility guy would also give them the option of using Leon or Nuge on the wing.

    And one of many reasons why they lose a lot of games. Putting a black hole on your powerplay is idiotic.

    It's not like someone coming in on a PTO will be much of an upgrade. If they were, they would get a contract, not a PTO.
