• Buyers Remorse 2018: the 13 most iffy contracts handed in NHL free agency

  02-07-2018 18:26 via edmontonjournal.com

  Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli, squeezed by the Oilers salary cap situation, also had little to offer Tobias Rieder in terms of a big contract.
  And other teams were in the hunt, including the rebuilding New York Rangers, who wanted the forward for speed and portability to move up and down the lineup.
  But what Chiarelli did have to offer was an opportunity — an opportunity for Rieder not only to join the same team as his German buddy Leon Draisaitl, but also potentially to get some play
