The farm? No one is asking you to give up the farm here but you’re giving up the compost heap and the pig slops and somehow have the gall to defend it from the Jets POV. That’s indefensible, and a part of the reason this board sees a young player struggling and feels that any old spare junk is a reasonable offer.
Average year? He still goes 15-20 in my opinion.
Would you consider Petan and Comrie fair offers for the likes of Nylander, McLeod, Brown, Kunin, Bellows, Tufte, Jones, Gauthier, Frederic, or Rubstov? They’re all first rounders too that have done jack and squat at the NHL level. How about the Jets own resident poor first round pick, Logan Stanley? Is William Lagesson straight up a fair offer because he’s been every bit as good defensively and much more productive offensively and damn the age difference?
There are levels of nuance you’re either not seeing or not understanding between a ‘Here’s the keys to the farm’ offer and ‘here’s a dead coyote carcass the cows didn’t stomp on too bad’ offer. I’m sure you can suss out which end of the spectrum Oiler fans think this offer falls into.
