24 comments

1. Oilers also worked out a small deal with Blues for extra comp acquiring a 2028 3rd + prospect Paul Fischer who was a 5th rd pick in 2023 and is currently unsigned as he is playing college hockey at Notre Dame

2. Man, Oilers fans are so delusional & arrogant. They already expect to win the Cup for the next 2-3 years, I’ll put my $ on ZERO. They haven’t earned anything

3. Sad to see them leave; poor asset management from the Oilers, but props to Blues management for putting the screws to Edmonton. Blues forced Oilers hand, gives them flexibility for extensions and trade deadline cap space.

4. Now get rid of kulak.
   Go get ber

5. I'm shocked.

6. Not worth it to sign , good for the oilers , I can see another KK

7. Blues won this in every way. Blues didnt give up a first and got two 1st rd pick players. It's a win.

8. Oilers GM is a clown 🤡, the Oilers are a circus 🎪

9. Yes..they may like golfing in the spring in between games, while the oilers will be watching the blues on tv.

10. So the Oilers are friends instead of enemies with the Blues that stole their players opposite of an alleged NHL code. Oilers trade with the Blues, embarrasing and ODD. Stan Bowman will destroy the Oilers. You should be talking about the oddity of this trade or lack there of. Oilers acquire a 3rd and a bum prospect from the Blues. BOWMAN = NHL BOZO THE CLOWN!
    P.S. the Oilers have 2 open spots on the right side of the defense. CRAZY BOWMAN! Not getting Bouch, Drai, or 97? Oilers = CURSED.

11. OEG = EGO
    Just like
    WEF = FEW
    😢

12. As a Blues fan, it looks like a steal. But…you have to consider…the Oilers unbelievable track record evaluating first round picks. Remember Jakmeoff? Pullmylarve? They’re laughing at us. They know their ineptness. They beat us with the long con.😂

13. Oilers ownership & management problem is they think that they're the smartest people in any room that they're in. Its been that way ever since July 8th 1995 imo😢

14. Of course, I am happy about this news. as they are both solid players–the problem with the Blues is still those NTCs on the blueline.but. at least, they are moving the team back towards playoff contention

15. The Oilers are thinking outside the box. Everyone else is getting bigger, younger, and faster. They're getting smaller, older, and slower. Fu!@ing brilliant. Just wait, if a significant injury happens to one of their better defensemen, the team will be fauder for the contenders.

16. I like the blues chances with this move. They didn't give up much, and got 2 recent Round1 selections from the bench of a stacked NHL team. There won't be enough ice in Edmonton for this bruise.

17. Funny seeing every single Oilers fan desperately try to justify why this is good for them, while every single non-Oilers fan saying how the Blues just fleeced them.

18. Broberg wanted out of Edmonton, not likely he would extend after 2 seasons, so Oilers were wise to cut him loose. With Ceci gone, they're in the market for a top 4 right shot D who's defensively better than Ceci, and won't go nuts with Nurse as a partner. Won't be easy to find, and not tons of cap space to spend. With McLeod already gone, and now Holloway, the bottom 6 is looking a bit weaker, and needs to be shored up.

19. Great Video, as usual, Mike.

20. I think Broberg will thrive in St. Louis. His mindset was leaving, so he’s motivated especially with his new contract. Dylan, hopefully he gels with Neighbors, close in age and skill….

21. These 2 players actually don’t really matter in the oilers organization , there not worth the money

22. Nurse is the Oilers worst Defender, not Ceci.

23. Not matching Holloway was a mistake. Broberg, meh.

24. Blues got a lot better. Oilers got much worse. Not so sure about Stan. Still have Nurse though, UGH.
