The only thing worse than not signing Maroon would be to sign him. The guy is a 10 goal scorer being propped up as a 30 goal scorer because of who he plays with. I want to believe that the Oilers are dumb enough to sign him to the inevitable regrettable contract he gets, but I think they know they have to walk away from him.
