Both Jackson and Bowman come across as narcissistic pricks.
% these guys went into the week planning comprising of ways to look smarter than all the media and fans. If Holloway gets close to 70 points or 30 goals, these guys should be fired on the spot. Absolute highway robbery by the Blues. Everyone saw this coming except these 2 idiots. What makes matters worse is they trotted out Blake Dermott, Troy Stecher, Noah Philp and Drake Cagiulla as possible upgrades. Eat dxxx.
We could have kept him for less than that. We tried forcing him to take the bare minimum as if he did nothing for us. Same with Broberg. Neither of these guys really wanted outHow the Oilers management keep fxxx up time after time in the most obvious of choices during McDrais prime years and get away with it is mind boggling. It's decisions like this that have led to out 2 superstars having to carry so much of the load all the time.
Everyone knew Holloway arrived and was going to be that second wave of young guys pushing, and these cartoon characters just let him go for 2 mill.
They definitely didn't do that.
Bull. Broberg requested a trade and never rescinded that request.
None of us know what really happened. Even a trade demand is conditional. For me to take that seriously I'd have to see a trade demand again after the playoffs. All the reasons he demanded a trade for weren't there anymore. It was a totally new situation. I've seen players demand trades before, and having it end with a contract. It's not like a public rescinding of a trade request is required
Oh be for real. It was out there. If he wanted to stay he would have told his agent to communicate that.
You're saying none of us know what really happened (and that is true) but earlier, you said neither of the guys really wanted out. We don't really know that either, do we? (Broberg did request a trade months earlier, but again, no one really knows if he still felt that way after the playoffs)
Why would an agent do that? Rescinding a trade request would come after the contract, not before.
That's fair enough, but we are a contender who went deep in the playoffs, and they were important parts of that. Opportunity was what Broberg was upset about, and he was given that. So sure, there's some logic there instead of real evidence.
