I don't have a strong opinion of this trade... but its the Oilers, so I'm sure they didn't do well because why would they start now?

Making room for a speedy, skilled winger.

Brown is pretty useless, so it's a decent trade for the Oilers.

Is this the aggressive move mactavish had promised? Still waiting on that, unless getting rid of horn off was all they really needed to be a playoff team (with the addition of fervency of course)

He might not be the best player, but he's pretty much the only grit they have, other than the guy they got off waivers from Dallas.

Another trade must be in the works.

@SportsnetSpec: Mike Brown to San Jose for a 4th rd pick. Oilers in contract crunch, now down to 48 contracts. Making room for another deal?

Hmmm they were at 49 contracts so this buys them some space for another move perhaps?

Not the guy i thought they would move.

Oilers short on grit. Interesting....


But this also spells the end of Pelech in the nhl this season though.

Looks like the Oilers are making room for a 2-for-1 deal. Yakupov heading out of town for a couple of players to help right now?

It's not like they are short on useless-end-of-the-roster-5-minute-a-night-designated-face-punchers.

Still have Gadzic and MacIntyre and called up Eager.

Maybe they were worried his grit would scuff up the sheen of the other players.
