The two defencemen we just acquired have a total of 4 points in 56 games. They will not 'move the needle'. They will not 'improve our defence'. The two defencemen alone that we traded for them have TWICE the points while playing HALF as many games.
We just downgraded our defence (somehow trading away two healthy scratch shit shows still leaves an opportunity for downgrading. Chia brilliance), took on salary, gave up picks, and traded away our second leading goal scorer on the wing. All of this to get two defenceman who will be healthy scratches or genuinely inept and void of any offence.
Matt f***ing Benning alone has 2x as many points as the two disasters we just brought in on far less salary, and he is considered to be one of the worst defenceman this organization has ever seen.
I'm truly perplexed. To top it off, there are 100 'Brandon Manning' tier players in this league who I'm certain you can get for garbage. Why did we bring this player in? Specifically to piss off the only good player we have? Jesus Christ, what about Bear or Lagesson? Garrison and Wideman were two total garbage fires yet as you will come to see, they are not any worse than Petrovic and Manning.
If it weren't for McDavid, today would be the day I stopped watching Oilers hockey. I only watch the team play now because I get to watch one of the world's best ever hockey talents play. Might have to just pick another team to become a fan of and catch Oilers games when I can, or watch his highlights. I'm sick to my stomach.
