Change it to "world".changed the title from League to AHL, because if tonight was any indication then he's not ready (and might never be)
Change it to "world".
I'd whine about this being another blatant Oilers bash thread on the mains, but we actually deserve it for this ****ing trade.
why is this in the NHL forum when its about an AHL defenseman?
He was on the Oilers first pairing tonight, clearly he had a spot on the Oilers blueline but might play off it
Is Stu Bickel still in the AHL? If so, then no.
Bit my tongue when the trade happened hoping his issues were overblown. They weren't, he's done nothing to show that he's going to be an NHL defenseman. Just real bad.I've been saying this for awhile. Obviously NYI saw it too. Edmonton got hosed on that trade. Could have had Barzal/Connor/Chabot and Stephens/Dermott/Aho/Carlo (just for instance) man did they blow it.
He doesn't have a spot. There are six dmen clearly ahead of him, Gryba on a PTO, and then maybe Osterle.He was on the Oilers first pairing tonight, clearly he had a spot on the Oilers blueline but might play off it
Not only is he slow but he is bad with angles and positioning and doesn't utilize his reach. Which would mitigate some of the footspeed issues.
