Oof...

I can’t believe the oilers have nothing to show for the Ethan bear trade.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Between injuries and personal struggles (he entered the Players Assistance Program a few months back), tough to see how his career has turned out. He had so much promise and poise in his rookie year, I was convinced he was going to be a top 4 Dman for a long time. Then back to back concussions at age 23 and it's been a rocky road since.

Makes sense given the rest of that dcore. TVR-Sandin on the 3rd pairing is crazy

He was pretty damn good in 2022-23 for the Nucks too. Bumpy road for him for sure but he can play in this league.

I memba when the Oilers were booboo the fool for trading him.

 

[Cup or Bust]

I wouldn't mind Bear on the right side for the Oilers 3rd pair. Maybe even 2nd pair, he did play with Nurse a fair bit. Likely too much moolah for the Oilers to fit though.

Nice article about his journey to the PAP and back. Only been back on the ice for a few weeks since coming out of the program.

I’m confident he’ll make his way back to being an NHL regular but at 2 mil and change it probably wasn’t going to be with the caps opening night

Doesn’t he have a 2 million dollar contract

You can't believe they're not actively reaping the benefits of a guy currently on waivers?

Their right side is solid, not really sure it made sense for him to sign there in the first place

 

[Three On Zero]

Bear was never really good, not surprising. Perhaps he can make it back as a #7 type when he gets back into the swing of things

sorry, its a long standing joke on HF oilers that people were pissed we traded a "top4" dman for nothing. Its sarcasm.

 

[canuckslover10]

Wouldn't mind seeing a poolman for Ethan bear swap with salary retention.

 

[BB79]

Bear needs to sign with the Bruins. It's just too perfect

 

[bellringer77]

Detroit should take a look. They need serious help on their right side.

I mean the guy always had issues with his training and diet.

His dedication was what got him to the nhl his laziness and falling back into bad dietary and conditioning is why he was dealt

Unfortunately it might be like the whole Satan and devils situation

Both the Canucks and Oilers could use him if he was in good health.
