ya there team is a huge mess right now. god awful to be a oilers fan right now
We're used to it, so don't worry about us.
This trade had good potential to be a win-win for both. Strome has had a slow start, but he seems to be coming around. Still could end up that way. Too early to declare anything just after around 20 games played or so. The salary we saved so we could more easily extend Connor and Drai long-term also has inherent value, as well as the cap space we have to add a player for a Cup run should we be in or near a playoff position come TDL time.
I wouldn't take this trade back, and for more than a few years Eberle was by far my favorite player. I'm actually happy he's doing well, as he still has a soft spot in my heart. I know he can be a very good player when he wants to be. It's the 'when he wants to be' that is the kicker. I predict next season he'll score 65+ points as it's a contract year, so there's some extra motivation for him.
Hope he does it.
