Sekera has been a known long term injury at the start of both this season and last season. He's not an excuse anymore, the club failed to plan properly. It is very plausible and forseeable that 2 defenseman would go down before Sek returned. And that is what happened.
|
Chia knowingly did nothing when he knew Sekera was going to be shelved long term and *if* he comes back (big if), his game is gone and we will not be a top 4 D.

Sekera is skating and travelling with the team. I think it's clear he IS going to come back, just a question of when, and how that impacts the Oilers' cap situation. Oh, and of course how long until he gets his legs under him - he's played just 36 NHL games in the last year and a half, and he struggled in most of those.
I am curious when Chiarelli talked to McDavid about Brandon Manning. He was a UFA-to-be last year when with Philly and the Oilers were terrible from early on. The Flyers were a playoff team, and he was having a career year. Were we really trying to pick up a rental defenceman early in the season last year? It would not have made any sense to pick him up any other time.
Maybe he was on the UFA target list for Chiarelli this summer?
