You know who would have been awesome this year? The 2022 playoff version of Evander Kane. Man what a force he was that year. Almost scoring at will and hitting anything that moved. And hard. It was awesome to see.
If he really was injured all year and they didn’t just let him go get fixed up, it has to be considered a catastrophic blunder.
Get one of your only physically punishing guys healthy and ready to rock in the playoffs PLUS the LTIR space to add more firepower at the deadline, or just let him trudge through the regular season and playoffs as a shell of his former self?

Whether or not Kane was likely to rebound to form, it's just mind-bogglingly stupid to not get him the medical help he needed and to take advantage of the opportunities that his cap space would have afforded us.
When you add to that the team leaking that they pulled any discussion of trading Cody Ceci off the table because the team really likes him, you're talking about almost $10MM in cap room that the Oilers refused to avail themselves of. (Also, do you think that the last year of Ceci's deal is not harder to deal now?)
It's unconscionable, given the sheer importance of this season. The team's overcome a lot to get here...it's a shame they weren't given more tools, especially since that could have been relatively easily accomplished.
I'm staying positive. We aren't finished yet. The team pierced the armor of Florida last night and were unlucky not to have tied it up. That McLeod chance...arrrrgh. Our powerplay hasn't even arrived yet. When it does, it could be a difference maker.
And it's Sergei Bobrovsky. He of any goalie in the playoffs could fall apart at any time. I mean, this guy lost his job for a time last year to someone called Alex Lyon, whoever that is.
But I do think it's unforgivable how bad management failed this team this year.
