Is it just me, or does every 3rd trade proposal include Vladimir Sobotka?
Why?
1. THE OILERS DO NOT NEED ANY MORE SMALL PLAYERS
It's been repeated time and again that the Oilers do not need any more small players. It's perplexing that Oiler fans continue to chase Sobotka as if he was some kind of good match up against Getzlaf, Thornton or Crosby. Here are his vitals:
Vladimir Sobotka
Height 5'9.5
Weight: 190lbs
This guy is just about as tall as Roy or Arcobello. Take that Reaves!
2. THE OILERS NEED SECONDARY SCORING
And how exactly will they get secondary scoring from Sobotka? By praying for offense?
2007: 1G 6A 7 PTS 0.146 PPG
2008: 1G 4A 5 PTS 0.200 PPG
2009: 4G 6A 10 PTS 0.164 PPG
2010: 7G 22A 29 PTS 0.475 PPG
2011:5G 15A 20PTS 0.274
2012: 8G 11A 19PTS 0.396 PPG
2013: 9G 24A 33PTS 0.54 PPG
CAREER: 35G 88A 123 PTS 0.322 PPG
Why in the world are we trading assets to St.Louis for a guy that has been outscored by Rob Klinhammer, Marc Arcobello and Anton Lander?
He's small, scores once every 3 games, and provides almost no offense.
Am I missing something?
