Score always and ignore defense is a pretty good way to be a fan of the Oilers if you're interested...
But I don't think you can honestly believe that a GM will turn down a 3rd for Backs - that's hyperbole after a bad period
He's shanked a ton this year, and looked to be drowning at times to start the season. But as with most of the roster, he's rounded back into form. I also want more from Backs rn, but what I'm reading is absurd
