Edmonton Oilers Free Agency: Making the case for Drake Caggiula

The Edmonton Oilers should consider bringing back Drake Caggiula

Remember Drake Caggiula? He was a victim of the Peter Chiarelli regime as PC traded him just as he was starting to find a scoring touch on the 2nd line. For Brandon Manning, no less. Everyone else on the management team told him to not trade for Brandon Manning, but by that time PC was insulating himself from outside feedback and going rogue, so he ignored that advance and made the trade anyway.

Predictably, the Oilers lost that trade.
