Pretty rare that more than a few quality players go u drafted in any given Year.....but it does happen.

Still, what damage did the Oilers do to themselves by working with this kid? Zero.

Is it very common though? There should be almost all teams interested in doing it and fighting for the chance to do so. I know they're typically long shot prospects and not many who fit this "loophole" but a free up-close scouting opportunity is a great way to find gems in future drafts.

Most undrafted guys are garbage at the time, injury immaturity, or just bad luck in developing. Tolchinsky is one of the few who actually got the contract after going undrafted. Most are just random names you'll never hear again. Kyle Clapperton comes to mind with the Flyers, he was close, but wasn't given a deal.

Oiler management show it's skills again.

I agree. Even as a fan of another team, this really sucks for the Oil and their Fans.

This may open the door for a Vet signing like Bertuzzi.

Veteran, large size, net presence. The Oilers are paying a small, young group at six million each, this guy should get $13.5 million each.

dude's on hockeybuzz try to make other dudes on hockeybuzz feel foolish.

theyre thinking of folding the franchise it's so out of hand

Exactly. If I was a GM I'd invite as many decent prospects in this situation as possible to rookie camp at least.
- Nucker101

I'm assuming that some guys that were just passed over that don't qualify for whatever this was supposed to be, might want to avoid injury that could affect their upcoming season.

I invite you to fly in on an all expenses paid trip to Fort Severn next week with me.

You just need to pass me wrenches and trow them at the Polar Bears. Rite up you're ally, you in??

Plus I bet teams want to use rookie camp to mainly look at their own guys.

Tough break...he'll look good beside Grigorenko next year
