Never call Mcleod a terrific 3rd liner. As a die hard oil fan, he's monumentally unfit to be in the NHL right now
Isnt bourgault considered a strong prospect? Curious why you didnt give him any positive remarks.
I remember how shocked Bob Stauffer was when oilers traded down and passed on wallstedt. You could hear his heart fall outtve his ass
Failing to grab a goalie in that draft; when there were two gems available, is absolutely unforgivable! Sebastian Cossa, an Edmonton native, was available as well as Wallstedt. Probably would've had to trade up to get him but Wallstedt was right there for the taking and nimrod Holland passed on him.
Brain dead! He can't draft, he can't sign and he can't trade. What we keep him around for, I'll never know.
It’s funny, Holland has actually made good moves at the pro level (Kane, Hyman, Ekholm, Ryan, Neal, Smith, Keith – not acquisition cost, Kostin) but he’s complete dog sh*t so far at the amateur level. Meanwhile Chia was the opposite, good at the amateur level but terrible at the pro level. Both have won Cups in their own way but it seems the oilers would be served better by someone who could excel at both….maybe Mark Hunter?
He literally talks to like 5-6 GM's in a 32 team league. Apparently more than a few GM'S adopt this practice. It's a complete failure to their team and the team's fans.
Imagine Noah Dobson instead of Evan Bouchard
