He's a RFA with some value, they won't just let him walk. Bare minimum they qualify him and then trade his rights for a meh pick.

Probably end up trading his rights but I wonder if he will just head back home.

You know he might . I mean, if the money is somewhat comparable why wouldn’t he?
I’m actually surprised more European don’t stay in Europe. The lifestyle, comforts of home….not to mention that North America is kinda a poophole in comparison to a lot of places in Europe.

More to life than money. He’s got some cash in the bank now so playing at home where he’s surrounded by family and friends and speaking his own language making 250k per year may sound pretty good. Far easier schedule, not as hard on your body. Lots of pluses to playing in Finland.

Spector says he’s actively being shopped by the oilers. A move should happen before the draft if it’s going to happen.
