On December 30th, the Edmonton Oilers made two trades. By now a lot of different writers, including our own Adam Girard, have given their initial opinions on the day of these trades. I, however, wanted to wait for a couple of games to see what each player brings to the Edmonton Oilers’ table.
While I think it’s valuable to look at what a player can bring before he comes here, I believe that as much as past data helps, it can sour a player before you get a good look at him. So, I’m going to post some of my first thoughts that I originally wrote on my other site Puck77.
