Collective eye roll...
AHL player Brad Malone. Not a joke.
Believe #LetsGoOilers are signing 32 y/o F Brad Malone to NHL contract. He’s currently on AHL deal with Bakersfield, with 19 points in 22 games.

His last NHL deal was with Oilers in 19-20, and last played NHL games in 18-19 (16 games with Oilers).https://t.co/n5GLOZYqlQ
In a season where disaster moves have plagued the Oilers, today after a 6-0 loss to the Panthers, this is the move that GM Ken Holland wants to make?
Bold move Ken. Bold move.
Malone hasn't played in the NHL since 2018-19. All time NHL stats are 199 GP, 13 G, 17 A, 30 P and 198 PM. What in the actual H E double hockey sticks is going on here? What will Malone bring to the team that will fix this mess? Absolutely nothing.
At first when I seen the tweet, I thought it was a joke. I mean, it has to be right? But then the Oilers media picked up on it.
Malone tested positive for COVID...so he won't be signed for now...tough break for him.

My understanding is, there won't be a Brad Malone signing at this time. Bakersfield has had some major COVID issues, that may prevent him from being available. I believe they had interest in bringing him in for bottom 6.

Why sign Malone when Seth Griffith is lighting it up in Bakersfield? Copper Marody is crushing it too for the Condors. If this season is a bad dream, please wake us all up.
This tweet sums it up for me and I'm sure all of us.
If Brad Malone is the answer. I don't want to know the question.
