I know it's been talked about here, but IMO the best part of this Oiler season is Connor Brown.
Obviously the fact that he has no points and takes up a roster spot is hilarious, even more when you consider that his bonus will effect their cap next season while making it harder for them to ice a competitive roster. And all for playing merely 10 games!
The best part though, IMO, is what it shows about the roster and team composition. Connor brown, for all his faults, had a remarkably consistent stretch of 6 seasons at ~0.5 ppg. Generally on lower lines, and generally with mixed defensive results. But still, ~0.5ppg.
He's not even going to score 7 points on this Oiler squad. Playing beneath Connor and Leon seems to suck the motivation and talent from virtually any player. They are the anti-motivators. Players get worse playing with these guys.
Also gives me hope that Holloway could turn it around in a better environment. #savedylan
