I will honestly never understand the ex-oilers slander this fanbase loves to dish out
Hall
Bear
Jones
Talbot
Strome
Benning
Larsson (not as much but still there)
Eberle
... list probably goes on
funny thing is, most of them are having good success elsewhere yet we'll keep talking shit about what they were or weren't
Weird choices. Most of these guys are still well regarded overall except maybe Hall. Gone are the days of slandering Comrie and such.
Hall - I can see the comment as some just really hate him.
Bear - I see just as many fanboys as those who didn't like him. Most recognize it as a good hockey trade where both teams got players that will help their teams.
Jones - Hasn't even played a game yet. Most of the venom on this trade is the lack of retention on Keith, which has nothing to do with Jones.
Talbot - I don't think I've ever heard a negative word, and the dude even played in Calgary where that should have been automatic.
Strome - The only thing I hear is how bad the Oilers got jobbed on that trade, where's Spooner today?
Benning - Mostly irrelevence. Haven't heard word of him since he left.
Larsson - Still pretty recent.
Eberle - All I ever hear negative about him is that he was no longer a fit for Edmonton and too soft to bring what they needed. Which is generally true, but it sucked they did nothing to replace him nor did they become less "soft" for several years.
