Confirmed with Link: Manning/Norell to EDM for Caggiula/Garrison

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

Love how a GM decides to surround a guy who could go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game with a bunch of trash.

Total malpractice. I hope Chia trades McDavid for McDavid’s and every hockey fan’s sake.

Amen. McDavid is generational, what a cruel joke to the oiler fans.

Not just to them, to all of us.

You never want to see a great being held back by his own team’s incompetence.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

the addition of @boxcar65 was the only plus to the trade.

Unless it is the Packers.

I don't get it. Chiarelli was the general manager of a Stanley Cup winning team that went back to the Finals two years later. How did he go so south as a general manager?

You know I can have ass understand a guy making it his team and moving guys like Hall, eberle or RNH.

But when those trades backfired he just started trying to force too many things. No issue signing Chiasson, Reider, Brodziak, Gravel etc.. this year. Seemed like he finally realized he needed to find cheap depth. But then he forces the Strome for Spooner trade, which resulted in taking a successful winger in Khaira and forced him at center. Didn't work at all. Strome by no means was lighting it up for us, but he was a decent enough 3c.

Then our defense was struggling so he decides to go after Manning and Petrovic. Again by no means did we give up a lot for either guy, but we were weak up front and he trades the one depth forward in Caggiula that tries every night. A guy that does something ever night despite his flaws. All that happened now is we were down two forwards on an already weak forward group.

Would've be fine bringing in all the guys that he did this year. It's not a horrid idea to try bring in cheap players to see if they are a better fit with your club, but somehow the guy found a way to make our team weaker. Even if Manning and Spooner were good players for us. We still wouldn't have had a 3c and he dealt away a very versatile winger in Caggiula that we so desperately need

 

[joestevens29]

I'm pretty certain Oilers fans don't share this opinion with you.

Meh, they all have their days of showing something, but majority of the time none of them really are doing anything.

They are all 6/7 d-men with none of them stepping up and taking a spot on this club.

 

[Pez68]

Caggiula is an NHL player. Likely a 3rd liner than can move up when needed, but a legit NHL player. How you could trade him for Manning, who does not belong in the NHL, is amazing.

Free McJesus ... to Chicago.

 

[JLarucci23]

Hasnt put up the points. But hes Ive been super impressed with almost every aspect of his game. He uses his body, has great speed, decent to good hands. And crazy to think we got him for Manning.. lol

 

[RememberTheRoar]

lol

 

[Fortyfives]

[No Fun Shogun]

I still can't believe that they gave us a competent player for Manning.

 

[Fortyfives]

Hurry, someone put Bowman’s face on this gif!

 

[Rick C137]

Caggulia was traded in December and he’s still tied for 6th in goals scored on the Oilers.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

 

[piteus]

Meanwhile ... the Hawks miss Drake Caggiula's toughness on the ice while he remains in concussion protocol.

Hopefully, Caggiula gets back soon.

 

[CallMeShaft]

You just gotta feel for Boxcar. Started the season on an original 6 team, now rotting away in an AHL press box.

I've been saying this for weeks.

[RayP]

The only thing shitty is his performance on the ice.

 

[BK]

man thats too bad for the guy. thats just ****ty.

He is still making 2.25 million. He is fine.
