The 'genius' has watched his team lose two straight games to cellar dwellers by a combined score of 13-3.Broberg and Holloway are embarrassing the Oilers management almost every other night
Armstrong looking like a genius for stealing those players…Broberg the only player who finishes without a minus while playing almost 25 mins tonight
Wow
Plus Holloway scores another and was also EV much of the night.Man broberg is just clowning oilers management right now.
Blues lose 8-1 and broberg finishes the night EVEN with 24 freaken minutes of ice time
I didn't think he was worth the 4 million per season but he sure playing with a chip on his shoulder with outta doubt
Well, it is an indictment on an org to lose their two best prospects in the offseason because its so important to load the shelves with fill D and extend Perry, Ryan, Brown and throw 4M at Arvid just because.
Hopefully we can get someone as good as Broberg with that cap space.
oh I'm aware of his poor fancy stats, they've been trotted out here since the playoffs where we were all told it was a total "fluke"

Like i'd mentioned the Forwards we replaced with, Skinner, Pods and Arvid have a combined 2 goals. This is what the "offense being increased with these additions supposedly meant. That increase is currently sitting at -9. Add up all the others as you say and its a pretty shit situation. Curious about your take on Connor Brown now. Is this guy ever going to be producing?
Hindsight no doubt. But let's see how he finishes the season. He is playing with something to prove no doubt and is excelling at it....
Wasn't hindsight for many of us. There was ample concern at the time with the offseason and the losses of players.
It started out well other than the perplexing McLeod decision.
It's pretty shitty right now but we have to let this play out a lot longer before passing full judgment, I was making that post out of frustration from the current situation but I think things will even out over the entirety of the season. The real tell will be how these guys perform in the playoffs (Brown included), assuming that the Oilers do make the playoffs as you can't guarantee anything.
My exact thoughts in watching the game, a grin on my face and shaking my head, while contemplating how inept (to put it mildly) this org isBroberg and Holloway are embarrassing the Oilers management almost every other night

Wow
I hope you are still making a mistake by judging this to early in the season.
There is no hindsight here. Not one little bit. These players are panning out in the way that was by far the most likely option
And Holloway was the best player that game. While Broberg took care of his business in his end. The rest of the blues got trashed.
