Or Lucic?
Watched a bit - midway through the third last night and Lucic had recorded no hits in the game.
I'd like Nystrom or similar.
As has been said by others, the Oilers lacked any organization depth in character and work hard guys. So the addition of mega talent up front has not translated into any success and never will unless that is addresses somehow.
Flames seem to have a stable of those types, and would greatly benefit from a veteran presence like a Nystrom type, imo.
Now inject that top end talent through good drafting, and you have the makings of a team that competes not just for a playoff spot, but for the cup. You need those guys to get you through the grind of 82 games and put you in a position to win when it counts.
Nice article - no half mesaures
