We all know the story of the Edmonton Oilers. They’re a great team with a ton of first-overall draft picks and a ton of talent on their front lines. However, the backend is an absolute disaster.
Seriously, it’s pretty horirryfing to look at. Justin Schultz constantly makes mistakes, and sadly of late, Darnell Nurse has slipped up a few times. Too many in recent days.
Yes, I’ve seen posts that recommend a small stint with the AHL affiliate Condors, which may actually be helpful. But there is something I saw that I strongly disagree with… and that was a blog from Copper and Blue, suggesting that the Oilers should consider trading away the young defenseman.
