It's unfortunate that it sucked up even more of our cap space without being the obvious solution to the problem.


There's no way any team/GM was going to give the Oilers an "obvious solution to the problem". After going to the SCF in back-to-back years, the best we were going to get was a lotto scratcher. One that would cost a lot more to get than we were giving up.

The scratcher so far has revealed "Please Play Again!", but goalies are unpredictable. Mediocre goalies regularly turn it on in the playoffs. 'Hope' is the only remaining strategy of this brain trust.

I still think McDavid gave them too good of deal and the smart move was the walk. Especially after that Frederic signing. Bowman and Jackson have no idea how to fix this team.
