Do you feel the same about McLeod?

For Brown, everyone focuses on his lack of points yet from what I have read, his numbers have been very good, he's just not getting a ton of bounces. People worry about his cap hit for next season as being the reason to get rid of him. Yet McLeod who's probably done less, has no points, doesn't have recovering from a major injury or moving to a new city, new team and new coaches, he has zero points and not contributing much, gets a free pass for the most part.

I'm not making McLeod a whipping boy but I just find it odd 1 guy gets hammered on since probably 3 games in, yet another guy gets a free pass. Let's remember also, many fans wanted the Oilers to be giving McLeod a lot more money for longer and were pissed, he got what they gave him which so far based on how he's played, he's over paid.

I’m not sure McLeod is getting a free pass from fans or media. And I’m not certain that Brown is getting “hammered on” by the fans and media as well. If anyone is getting a free pass it is the later. Unless you’re talking about free passes from the coach. But he keeps getting put into situations where he can’t bench players. The Brown injury last night. Bouchard should have been benched a couple times already this season, but this team is lacking so much offence it’s silly.

From the GM to the goalies, it’s been very disappointing since spring 2023.

Have you not seen how many fans on social media want Brown waived after 9 games yet not the same for McLeod?

I can’t believe I have to say this, but do not take social media seriously. It is full of trolls, 10 year old kids, the uninformed and keyboard warriors. Shoot … most days the social media dim bulbs share all four the listed qualities. These same clowns will say trade McDavid.

Brown at $775,000 is a better option than McLeod, but with 3.25M of dead space for next year, it makes perfect sense to send him to the minors until the “playoffs”. McLeod is doing nothing on offense, but he’s decent defensively and has shown he can up his game at times. At least he is under team control for next year at a fixed rate, even if it is looking like an overpay early into the new season.
