Oilers Claim Steve MacIntyre Off Waivers

The Edmonton Oilers have claimed defenceman Steve MacIntyre off waivers from the Florida Panthers.

The 6’6”, 265 pound native of Brock, Saskatchewan has seen playing time at both defence and forward during his career. Now in his eighth pro season, the 28-year-old brings both size and toughness to the ice.

MacIntyre spent the 2007-08 season with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League, scoring 2-3-5 in 62 games with 213 penalty minutes.

MacIntyre, who has also played with the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack, has registered 200-or-more penalty minutes six times since turning pro in 2001-02, including a career high 421 minutes in 2004-05 when he split the season between Hartford and the ECHL’s Charlotte Checkers.

MacIntyre played three seasons in the Western Hockey League with Saskatoon, Red Deer and Prince Albert between 1997-98 and 1999-00.

And considering Big Mac signed a 2 year deal in the offseason with Florida, he's not likely to have been waived already.

Thanks for the link Malt. I wasn't even aware Big Mac was on waivers in the first place?

Wow, tough luck for Rochester. Looks like R.J. might have an even better shot now.

Well that ****ing SUCKS for Rochester fans.

RJ Hand might be sticking for at least the short term.

Is Mac really all that better of a hockey player than Benson or McMorrow? This has to be for the big club since he'd have to be waived again to be sent to an already stacked Springfield team. Definately the guy they need to protect Hemsky and co.

On the other Hand (pun intended ) Rochester better seriously consider RJ for the job, otherwise Cuse is gonna walk all over them again with Nasty, Dorsett, DiDiomette, Sestito and maybe even Sugar or Sgroi in the lineup.

Anyone else feel that? That was the weight of the world being taken off Zack Stortini's shoulders.

Wow... Go Oil.
