Maybe it's just me but
Just giving away players when you only
Start with three draft picks in the first place seems
Unwise. It's amazing how the Oilers are always the ones whose assets
Cease to hold any value.
Kassian, Kostin, Puljujarvi, Bear, Jones, Yams, even Eberle weren't
Sold but given away instead. Classic OEG
|
What always amazes me his how much Oilers fans seem to overvalue players. Look at the list of guys you listed.
Kassian - Would you give up anything to get a grossly overpaid 4th line with concussion issues?
JP - Would you give up anything to get JP who hasn't lived up to being a 4th overall, couldn't score playing with McD. Couldn't score in Carolina and just had his second double hip surgery in 2-3 yrs as a 25 yr old?
Yamo - Would you give up anything to get a ridiculously small, doesn't produce overly well, overpaid guy with neck and concussion problems?
Kostin -His rights were a throw in to get the Hawks to take all of Yamo's cap hit. Supposedly according to Gregor, he was about to accept a 1.75 mill deal in the KHL right before he was traded but was held off accepting to see if the Wings will get close. I like Kostin but I am not paying a guy who isn't great defensively and right now is a 4th liner who got hot with a 20% shooting percentage 1.75 mill.
The other players you listed, they got assets back for them. But like I always say when I see fans cry foul when the Oilers get rid of one of their lower tier guys. Turn the trade around. What would you give up to get that player as an Oiler? Is the answer is nothing or pretty much nothing, why does anyone think other GM's should give up anything to get them.

You're missing the point. The problem isn't that these players have zero or negative trade value. The problem is the Oilers are keeping players until they have zero or negative trade value. Accepting JP's and Yammo's arbitration last year is a bad decision if you're going to trade both away for nothing in 11 months. Sometimes events happen where a player's value crashes and the organization gets screwed, like Klefbom, but that's not what happened here. The Oilers screwed the Oilers. Again.
The secondary point is it's entirely predictable that Holland is going to blow through the newly acquired Cap Space tomorrow on someone who won't address the Oilers' problems.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
