The more I look at the trade Brossoit was clearly the target for the Oilers. I find it funny that they would go after the current goalie for the oil kings as he appears to be a better prospect. Just seemed they really over paid for a player becasuse they had no plan B.
The other thing about Brossoit is if he takes 4-5 years before he is ready for the NHL, their locked up long term core will be UFA's in the very near future. At this point it looks like they are crossing their fingers and hoping he is ready in a year or two. It can be dangerous rushing a goalie.
