Oilers: Biggest Fraud in SCF history

[bluetunehead]

If having Broberg would have meant less ice time for Klingberg then yes, he could have helped.

A healthy Holloway would have been a bigger add for Edmonton. They really needed a guy like him, particularly after Hyman went down.

Too bad they wasted money on J Skinner instead. Who was so bad he only played 5 times in the playoffs.

Yup. I’d be curious to know what Stan Bowman really thought of their UFA signings last summer. He took over as GM a few weeks afterwards. They were Jeff Jackson moves.

[theograce]

He certainly made strides since then. His +/- far exceeded that of any other Oilers defenseman this year playing 20 minutes a game. He will never be Hedman. But that doesn't mean he's not a good player.

The Oilers got killed. They were like -7 or -8 in first periods.

Broberg doesn’t even move the needle a little bit against them. To think otherwise is just being naive.

And you're equally naive thinking he isn't an upgrade over some of their other stiffs on defense.

Even if it was it wouldn’t matter. You’re the guy thinking he helps the Oilers in that series lol

He couldn’t even help beat the Jets…but was part of a historic choke

I really doubt Jeff Skinner is the the N next year. He literally played his way out of the league this postseason. Somebody might take a flyer on him, but it won't be for the number he's going to command.

Broberg was a +9 in the series playing 22 minutes a game. If Buchnevich doesn't ice the puck, the game is over. Broberg isn’t the scapegoat you make him out to be.

Bob Stauffer said on his show Holland was instructed to get both signed during the season. And refused to sign either.

Nobody remembers the ifs in sports … maybe the losers. If Helly didn’t let in all those muffins … the Jets win in 5 or 6 … say Jets fans.

Not really. The Blues Reddit community if full of users today that still believe the 1995 - 96 team wins the Stanley Cup if Kypreos didn't run into Fuhr. Despite have a losing record and negative goal differential. And every one is certain that he would have stopped the Yzerman blast in Game 7.

Bucky has sucked for years in the playoffs. No one gives him the benefit of the doubt amymore.

Right…losers focus on ifs. It’s the way it is and the way it will be. They lost. They choked in epic fashion. That’s what happened and the way it will be remembered

Ah, the Supreme Gaslighter is back in action.

If the Oilers matched Broberg they would not have had to go out and trade for Walman.
That cost them a 1st rounder in 26.
That pick would have been nice to have at next years TDL to improve their team.

The Oilers have a lot of guys entering their walk years besides McDavid:
Ekholm, Kane, Arvidsson, Walman, Henrique, Kulak, Skinner, Pickard & Podkolzin.
That's about 29 million coming off the books next year at this time when presumably McDavid's new contract kicks in.

The Oilers will try to off load some of those guys this summer, but next year is the year when they'll have more flexibility but many more holes to fill.

How much does Bouchard sign for?

Meanwhile his boi crush Conner McDavid scored 1 goal and was -7 in a six game Final, coming up small on the biggest stage yet again.

If they extend Bouchard (which they likely will) and McDavid(you have to expect they will) to close to market value, so let's say 9 and 15 million respectively, that gives them 8 players with 43 million to fill 15 positions with. Good luck.
