Rough night for Walman. Keep trying to block out that the Blues got an actual top pair D for a 2nd and prospect in Fowler. Oh well
|
Overall, I have liked Walman and I’ve never been a Fowler fan. Are we just piling on because we are completely decimated by injuries right now and need to project on to someone?
Plus Fowler came a bigger cap hit and is older. I couldn’t imagine the outrage if we made that deal.
|
It's the Oiler fan way. Misdirected anger, blame and scapegoating gets in the way a lot of the time.
Walman has been inconsistent. Overall I am not a big fan but he does bring some good things and I think he has a place on a successful team.
I am with you on Fowler, I want no part of him, at his cap hit.

Complaining about a poorly constructed D group doesn’t need like misdirected anger to me. Just pointing out what’s been going on for over a decade and a big part of the continued waste of a generational players career (and a borderline generational one at the same time).
Fowler is playing like a legit top pair D and helped reboot the Blues season again. 1 year left on his deal, being willing to give a first instead of second probably buys some cap retention. A gamble for sure if a solid player spending years on a toilet team still has his old game left, but sure looked like he does. Good pro scouting could probably make a good educated call on that, but we don’t have such people in our org, clearly.
Oh well though, just and example in a sea of a decade of mismanagement. Endless possibilities that could have been done better and even more that couldn’t be done because of the endless poor decisions that have handicapped us.
