Ottawa Sun scribe Bruce Garrioch got this response from an unnamed NHL executive after the weekend’s free-agent spending spree finally wound down: "I cannot believe some of the deals. Well, enjoy the lockout." Just a thought. If the Oilers really feel the NHL will end up in a lockout in the 2012-13 year, does it not make sense to send RNH back to the WHL, and let him play in the AHL the following year instead of burning 2 years of his entry level contract of which the 2nd would be not playing in the NHL.
