The Oilers are mystified right now.
They can’t understand how a team that has an asset that the don’t want will not completely devalue & sewer it to the point where the player has no or a net-negative value.
What is the upside of sending Campbell to the AHL?!?
What was the upside of blaming… Cogliano, Dubnyk, Eberle, Hall, Souray etc. etc. the trading them for minimal value?
Signing Kane out of the NHL’s bargain bin only enabled their inability to understand asset management & addiction to mismanagement and/or good fortune.
Holland is obviously drinking the kool aid now.
Unsurprisingly team aren’t willing to sewer their assets to do the Oilers a favour. I mean outside of Detroit who helped them avoid a buyout of Yamamoto which would have crippled their cap & roster flexibility even further.
