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...

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”
