Am i the only one who thinks this sound a little high for a couple of AHL forwards? The Oilers Have been giving them chances to join the line up for a couple years, and neither of them, Jaques in particular have given any reasons why the should get another shot on a deep roster. They only got to play as many games as they did last season due to Edmonton's injury plagued roster. I guess this is standard in Silly Season though...
