I have heard many Oiler fans defend the Hall pick in this way (he was more ready to make an impact).
This is just another example of how inept Oiler management has been: if a rebuild is just beginning, why in hell would they draft a guy based on being ready to contribute now?
So if your team had the opportunity to draft Mario, Sidney, Ovechkin or similar franchise players, you wouldn't want to accelerate your rebuild? Heck, according to this guys logic why would your want your rebuild to take four years when it can last eight years!
Championship teams are built down the middle - if you are going to do a rebuild, you would think you might have some sort of blueprint or plan.
But nope, "we really liked him in the interview". Good plan.
So what exactly is the Flames plan? Shoehorn Mike Cammalleri into a centre position? I think only Toronto has weaker depth down the middle than they do.
To use a Wrestling analogy, playing the Oilers is like watching Maple Leaf Wrestling in the 70's when they would roll out tag team matches like Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior against The Honkey Tonk man and IRon Mike Sharpe
Can't even get your eras correct? This guy probably fits the wrestling fan stereotype.
