Confirmed Trade: [CHI/EDM] Brandon Manning and Robin Norell for Drake Caggiula and Jason Garrison

[dougd]

Seabrook for Manning 1 for 1. Oilers will never have to see Manning again and in return they get a 3 time cup winning veteran with loads of experience.

Kevin, that’s just plain Dirty Pool.
You were just lurking, waiting for this opportunity.

 

[Theo Von]

Garrison moves onto the SHL

 

[Rolo]

Caggiula looked good. We expect him to be our 9th/10th best forward. IF he plays the way he does, very happy. Need guys like that in the bottom 6.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Not to necrobump, but this is a stat and a half:



I legitimately still can't believe we got anything remotely of value for Manning. Fully expected that we would've had to pay a team a middle prospect of mid-round pick to take him off our hands.

 

[Dr Pepper]

That's as damning a hockey stat as I've seen in a while. Wow.

Had to look it up, too. Caggiula had 7 goals in 29.

Next up is Kassian....6 in 50
Then Lucic with 5 in 53.

Question for Oil fans, how much time in the top six does Khaira get? I thought I heard a while back he was riding shotgun with Connor for a bit, but the stats don't seem to reflect this.

 

[LMFAO]

Watch Robin Norell become the next Hjalmarsson

 

[ChaoticOrange]

23, small, no offense?

Yeah, I can pretty safely say it’s unlikely Norell amounts to anything.

 

[justafan22]

Can't remember a trade where the player is a regular scratch after being traded for a legit asset

We cant believe it either. He sucks, is overpaid, and McDavid didnt like him. Yet Chia and co. still felt the need to acquire him. Mind blowing.

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Chiarelli clearly sabotaging the team at the end,

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Robin norell is a very legit chance to never play an NHL game

I would consider him a throw away. Rockford and Chicago haven't been booming on defense the last few years and he couldn't sniff NHL action for a cup of coffee

 

[krutovsdonut]

i also thought caggiula was off ice friends with mcdavid.

has he been scratched as a hawk?

Right after the Oilers trade him for a conditional 7th.

No -- he's been playing on the top line.

To be sure, he doesn't belong there long-term, but he's definitely been one of our 12-best forwards since the deal.

The Condors (Oilers farm team) have won 10 straight games and routinely outplay and outshoot their opponents and have no real problems in D with Jones/Bear/Day/Lagesson there and more arriving next season. Norell may not get much playing time.

Oilers drafted Erik Gustafsson and I just noticed he has 34pts. WTF. Is he that great offensively?

 

[La Bamba]

Manning (and Petrovic) will probably be placed on waivers to clear space for Sekera... lol...

So Caggiula, a decent youngish winger who can fill gaps in the lineup, and a 3rd rounder for 2 guys who will probably clear waivers. Oilers got Chiarelli'd.

 

[Esq]

He's pretty good on offense. Unfortunately, his position is defense. This leads to certain ... issues.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Oilers drafted Erik Gustafsson and I just noticed he has 34pts. WTF. Is he that great offensively?

Yes. He has always flashed the offensive talent over the previous 3 years with the hawks, but he has become elite this year. It helps with the power play clicking like it is. But he has a lot to do with it. Great shot, passer and moves himself into great spots.

Watch Robin Norell become the next Hjalmarsson

That would be quite the feat considering he couldnt even cut it in the AHL

 

[ManofSteel55]

Quit bumping this, I saw that bum Manning's name and thought we managed to dump him for a half a second. Brightened my day, but now I'm depressed because we still have him.

I am not saying that this is the most damaging move Chia made but it may be the one that made the least sense all things considered and that is saying something. I honestly do not know a single fan or media guy who had any real explanation for this one.

The Preds were supposed to be in on him in FA so maybe there is hope?

I can’t recall him really playing at all with Connor. He gets time with Nuge somewhat regularly, but generally Khaira’s bounced between the 2nd and 4th lines. He’s a bottom 6er, but he cycles the puck fairly well, and uses his size, so he’s easy to move up the lineup.

hawks have sheltered him pretty well and played him to his strengths and hes thrived
