I can't believe Edmonton did this deal. What does Chiarelli have against Taylor/Tyler's? He didn't learn the first time that no matter how many good players you have, you can't just give away talent? The guys at the TSN panel are being politicians when they say this is the price of a d-man. It's a terrible trade for a 2nd tier d-man. Today's dumb deals highlight the different between smart GM's and dumb ones. Even worse was that no other GM's ponied up better d-men to sweeten the pot. To me it's actually bothersome that the Oilers can't even make a decent trade with a good asset to deal. Endless chances to draft #1 and it's not looking that much up in the future.
