The Edmonton Oilers have had a dreadful season, yet again. It could be their poor play that takes the blame or it could be the front office. Undoubtedly, poor play is a major reason, but I think if your general manager goes out trading top players for a second-third pairing defenseman, you’re not going to benefit.
The Oilers also have a few valuable UFA’s on their hands that might make sense to dish off in exchange for futures like picks and prospects. Those guys include Patrick Maroon, Mark Letestu, and Mike Cammallleri. Also, if you don’t already know, those three are on some of the best cap hits you can find.
