They don't want Tambo making that next top 3 draft choice. Plus his record outside the first overall pick in pretty bad.
Hard to blame him as with the Flames, who knows who is calling the shots and where. Maybe Lowe still has big say in drafting, even past #1 pick.
If Tambo was smart (or was allowed to) he would have traded one or two of the young guys for a package of higher end goal and defense prospects, guys ready to make that jump now or next year.
That team is so unbalanced and it is no secret. Yet no one has tried anything bold past drafting the consensus #1. No wonder they are so good on the PP, but awful 5 on 5.
But ya, everyone knows Lowe is the problem, and this won't change anytime soon, and neither will the Oilers.
Year 8 of the rebuild, here we come.
