With what assets?If the Oilers gotten a 1st for Broberg, there wouldn't be so much complaining. Trust me, once we acquire that top 4 D at the deadline and Kane comes back healthy, we will forget about those 2
If you've been following the Oilers, you know we have assets. Why even ask this question?With what assets?
And Holloway can f*** off too. They both chose to leave the Oilers.Well since it's still somewhat fresh and it's obviously pissed off a lot of people here's a thread to keep this discussion in so that it doesn't spill into other threads.
My take is that Broberg can f*** right off and keep on f***ing off. He never had the stones to come in here and earn a job in camp based on his play and then demanded a trade. He wasn't the player that he was in the playoffs for us at any point prior to that and obviously needed that extra time in Bako whether he wants to admit it or not. Food for him that he's off to a good start. We'll see how he does once other teams start to get the book on him and playing him physical consistently.
For Holloway he likely thought that he was a big enough piece that we'd match him and well that didn't exactly work out for him. I liked the player but it is what it is.
We don't have our first round pick this year. Again I ask you, what assets?If you've been following the Oilers, you know we have assets. Why even ask this question?
What did it cost to acquire Ekholm? Next year 1st, a prospect and a player to balance out the cap.We don't have our first round pick this year. Again I ask you, what assets?
Right, I forgot we're absolutely swimming in prospects right now.What did it cost to acquire Ekholm? Next year 1st, a prospect and a player to balance out the cap.
Do some teams get demoted before the trade deadline? Will the Oilers not exist by the trade deadline?Right, I forgot we're absolutely swimming in prospects right now.
Also you forget one very important thing. You have to GET to the trade deadline first.
You know exactly what I meant. They might not be in a playoff spot by the time the TDL rolls around. The way they're playing so far certainly isn't inspiring the fanbase, and think of the insane run they had to go on last year just to get into a decent spot in the standings. Home ice doesn't mean everything but it sure can help, and if we had home ice in the Finals last year we probably win the Cup.Do some teams get demoted before the trade deadline?

Well considering the prospect that went for Ekholm was Schaefer, Savoie or O' reilly will suffice.Right, I forgot we're absolutely swimming in prospects right now.

You certainly hope so, because the 2026 first rounder does not hold the same value as the 2025 one would. And the blue line is already thin enough when healthy.Well considering the prospect that went for Ekholm was Schaefer, Savoie or O' reilly will suffice.
