He might be, but he was hot garbage in Nashville hence the buyout. I hoped he would eventually get it together here. |

I love the fact that he was essentially a no risk signing. If he has a bounce back in his career, fantastic. If he continues on the drain swirling trajectory, he was cheap and only one year. No problems that I can see. |

Pretty much.
Personally, I’m hoping Turris produces something along the lines of 10-25-35. |

He's got a two year deal, though. Unless you meant only one year left. |

This is more in line with what I'm expecting. Specifically, the fewer number of 5-on-5 goals is what I'd point to being the main point of contention. The 15 Sean is accounting for seems like a stretch. |

Whoops... you are correct sir. Still, a short year for one of them by the looks of it. |

Loved Turris as a Senator, but his skating is his Achilles heel. Its the reason for his decline and why he never was a true 1C. |

I’m curious as to the sort of competition Turris faced in his last two seasons with Nashville. Was he seeing mostly bottom 6 opposition, or tasked with a top 6 shutdown role? |

Pretty soft minutes as Sean alluded to. From what I've seen, he was generally supposed to operate as a 3rd scoring line. |

Ah. I guess I wouldn’t have needed to ask that if I’d read the blog. Which I would’ve done if all these (frank)ing advertisements wouldn’t keep high jacking the (frank)ing blogs. |

Sounds like he'll fit in wonderfully with the hot garbage pile that is the oilers

For sure. At least they inked a legitimate 3C who is a steady 0.5ppg on the cheap. He's not the top 6 guy he once was, but 1.65M is a bargain for a 3C who should do well in that role. |

I've heard they're bad. Seems like it's a problem cropping up in a lot of places. |

Oh he's a great bargain. Still has great hands and a excellent wrist shot. He can pick any corner!! He was one of my fav Sens for years. |

Two things people forget: 1) Peter Laviolete was his coach. Look at the underlying numbers of his team. He looks on the numbers side like a terrible coach of talented teams. 2)Nashville's replacement coach was actually worse.
Age will be a factor, but Turris is an intelligent player; my guess is this looks like a great pick up. He'll light it up in Edmonton, especially with his match ups as long as he has some talent to play with. |

Neal is at best a 3rd liner with PP minutes.
Turris between Neal and Puljujarvi makes sense for minutes.
That leaves the top 6 to be constructed of a few stars and complementary players.
Nuge-Draisaitl-Yamamoto may be the best option.
Maybe Kahun-Draisaitl-Yamamoto balances it a bit better.
Nuge-McDavid-??
Where does Ennis, Kassian, Archibald and Chaisson fit?
Given Neal and Poolparty, I can't see Turris getting more than 30 points.
One player scores mostly on the PP, the other hasn't played NHL games in over a year.

I see 4 legit tops six forwards ( mcD, LD, RNH, Yamamoto)
And a good chunk of middle sixers than can play up high for stretches ( Kassian, Turris, Ennis, Kahun, Neal). It’s not a bad problem to have. |
