Post-Game Talk: What's This? We Beat Dubnyk? He is Human After All? Oilers 2-1 Over The Wild

[PKSpecialist]

Fayne is a good defender. I was actually happy about this signing last year.
Suggesting the defence is worse is maybe an overstatement...running in place is maybe a better description.

MacT saw fit to bring in Belov and Grebeshkov last season and trade Smid. So he gets rid of a legit NHL defender and brings in 2 players who are not legit NHL defenders.

Same thing this year...one step forward 2 steps back. Brings in Nikitin (worse)...releases Petry.

Klefbom is simply a product of development...hard to give MacT credit for that. Now watch the team overuse Klefbom by putting him in a position he isnt ready for.

At some point Management has to actually start making headway on improving this defence and stop shuttling legit NHL players out the door.

So MacT brings in grebeshkov and belov on one year deals to give some depth to the blue line and keep the kids in the AHL. But he doesn't get credit for klefbom's development? I understand that there is a lot of hatred for Kevin Lowe around here, but time to give MacT a chance and some credit here. Much of the criticism(not all) is unjust.

I'll agree and defend my position. I still have a little faith in MacT. Not much, but a bit.
