The Oilers announced this morning that Taylor Chorney, Teemu Hartikainen, and Magnus Paajarvi have been assigned to the Oklahoma City Barons. With the All-Star break this weekend the Oilers don't play again until next Tuesday, so giving the Barons a roster boost as they get set to host the Houston Aeros and Texas Stars this weekend make a lot of sense.

Interesting that Paajarvi got sent down instead of Petrell. I certainly wouldn’t have bet on that.

I completely forgot about him. Very odd.

I guess they see Paajaarvi as an improvement to the Barons roster…and Petrell not so much? They can only dress so many bodies for a game I suppose.

That was my thought as well, then I thought, if Petrell isn’t a significant improvement on the Barons roster, why the hell is he in the NHL?

Because he’s better than Hordichuk?

I don’t mind Petrell in the AHL, Hordichuk does not belong in either league.

Because for some strange reason, he seems to be a good penalty killer

Agreed, but I’m not at all surprised that he didn’t get sent down.

More interesting to see how many get called up again after the break. (he says praying Chorney is not one of them)

i wouldn’t mind seeing cornet & keller next, because frankly why not. hart isn’t playing good enough but i see a lot of good things & hope he can make the team out of camp next year.

Antero Niittymaki was officially placed on waivers

Do the Oilers pick him up and see what he can do while benching Khabby?

by gcw_rocks on Jan 25, 2012 11:33 AM MST reply actions  

keep in mind, that as trade deadline approaches, those playing on an NHL roster CAN’T play in the AHL post season. apparently tambellini is banking on the success of the barons to get him that contract extension. so there’s that.
