Size isn’t everything. Late bloomer who has only played 1 full year and is already plays PK and has respectable even-strength numbers. It sounds like the coaches and VD both feel he has another step to take. It’s a two-year bet. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted Monday at 10:35 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:35 PM Just now, Herberts Vasiljevs said: Oilers fans seem sad that he's gone. Take that for what it's worth. Character guy that sticks up for his teammates. If Foote can get Myers to simplify his game and be effective hopefully he can get Vinny too. Definitely a guy that has taken the long route to the NHL and worked hard for everything he has. Also hopefully he can share secrets from the Oilers pk. How were they so good with such an average group? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted Monday at 10:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:36 PM 1 hour ago, Elias Pettersson said: Remember when our PK was weak? I do. Now it isn't weak anymore. DeBrusk, Forbort and Desharnais are all great PK'ers. Hughes Hronek Soucy Myers Forbort Desharnais Our defence is actually BIGGER now than last year. It's the biggest defence in the NHL. Wow. This is exactly what Tocchet wanted. Add D-Petey and Willander to this defence and we are set really... And by Tocchet's own admission, prolly our best D-penalty killer is on the sidelines....

They know the path to the finals likely goes through Edmonton for some time to come. Better have a good pk because we all saw the special treatment they get. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwags Posted Monday at 10:37 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:37 PM With McGroarty wanting out due to no pathway and allegedly Brzutewicz wanting out for similar reasons, were Forbert and Desharnais the targets as they don't pose any "threat" to Willander? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a guy that has taken the long route to the NHL and worked hard for everything he has. one huge difference from previous regimes is the number of times we hear guys in interviews talk about knowing their jobs and roles. I have no doubt that the new d additions to day will know exactly whats expected of them. 2 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Also hopefully he can share secrets from the Oilers pk.

CanucksJay Posted Monday at 10:39 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:39 PM I thought we made fun of Desharnais for being a big guy that doesn't bring much else. He was used sparingly this playoffs and sheltered which isn't saying much on a terrible oilers defence corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but they were also limited with cap space and used most of it on forwards. We kind of had to choose forwards or D to seriously upgrade. VD it seems they are taking a bet on. PA said VD/Foote talked and both feel he has another step to take. Last year was he first full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
