Oilers GM and scouting have been horrible (yeah I know.. no kidding).. only call that Bowman made that was right so far is trading for Podz.. him and his scouts should all walk.. UFA Mangiapane, signing Frederic for 8 years c/w NMC !, Rosz..
I have few hopes that either of the wunder kids Hutson or Howard are going to make it.. they are both slower than Savoie and he looked invisible out there.. they'll get manhandled.
Bowman deciding to let Broberg and Holloway go .. and Jackson trading away Mcleod for Savoie aren't looking good.. all those guys are leading their respective teams in ice time... and they are all FAST and can carry the puck at speed.. they make plays
Oilers need more speed.. speed.. speed .. size .. strength.. not sure how they'll get it.. they shot most of their asset bullets..
I just hope Bowman and Jackson don't decide to "get a jump on next year" by signing Murphy, Dickenson, and Rosz to big long term, NMC contracts
The one guy that I'd probably sign is Kapanen.. but only shorter term and no NMC
I think Knob might lose his job but I don't think he was the primary problem.. other than McDavid, Leon and a couple other forwards the bulk of that roster was super weak .. that's on management .. Bowman, his scouting staff, and Jackson
Having said all that above.. the refs were a factor as always.. the OT goal.. and zero penalties drawn by the Oilers in this game.. total farce.
