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

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.

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
