Bruce McCurdy: Edmonton Oilers Bob Nicholson on pending free agent Tobias Rieder during a season ticket holder event.
“Toby Rieder will not be signed by the Edmonton Oilers at the end of the year.
Toby Rieder was a player that other teams wanted. He came here for one year because he wanted to play with Leon Draisaitl who he plays with on the German national team. He thought if he wasn’t playing with Leon he’d be playing with Connor, he’d score 15-16 goals, and instead of making two million he’d sign a four-year deal at three and a half million.
