kliq 3,755 Report post Posted February 14, 2018 Just thought I would break down his major moves (Points wise) as far as how the players involved are playing this season. The Oilers really really seemed to give up a lot for a very little return. Pretty bad for the man who is famously known for the Seguin/Eriksson trade. The Hall trade I get, they were hoping for a legit top pairing guy, but I just don't understand the Eberle trade. Eberle for Strome Eberle - 58GP - 19 Goals, 23 Assists for 42 Points Strome - 55GP - 7 Goals, 15 Assists for 22 Points Hall for Larson Larson - 40GP - 3 Goals, 3 Assists for 6 Points Hall - 51GP - 23 Goals 36 Assists for 59 Points Schultz for a 3rd (Filip Berglund) Schultz - 41 GP - 3 Goals, 14 Assists for 17 Points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted February 14, 2018 Hands down the worst GM in the league, which is exactly why Holland should be calling him every chance he gets. Draisaitl for Tatar seems pretty fair to me... 1 4 13dangledangle, Keep Your Stick On the Ice, Wingnut1989 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should have garnered more then Strome. 2 PavelValerievichDatsyuk and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't they both make 4.25 mil a year? Both are way higher then Id expect BUT Abby has finished nicely a few times this season surprisingly. His biggest problem is he doesn't have Datsyuk banking shots off of him into the net anymore so obviously his stats dropped (Fun fact: I miss Datsyuk every time the Wings play..)

Salaries are different. E makes 4.25 this year and Abby makes 5. But to ur point, They have the exact same cap hit because of structuring, which is really all that matters. Good call. Neither player is as bad as some make them out to be. Edited February 17, 2018 by Neomaxizoomdweebie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the more appropriate label would be the worst "trader" (for lack of a better term) of the modern era. His ability to make trades is awful as he seem to lose big every single time.

He lucked out with the second overall pick due to a first being owed to him by a dismal team. Ottawa? Was basically gifted Seguin, still screwed it up. Funny how he was the guy in charge of pulling the trigger on horrible trades involving both of that years first (Hall) and second overall picks with different teams.
