@ExitVelo314 We have 3 legit catching prospects behind Herrera. One of them will probably be traded at some point but they’ll be forced to move someone unless him or Raniel or both start learning another position that’s not DH.
@_JordanDecker@BluesProspects1 Hughes wasn’t going to resign in VAN and is a UFA next year. Thomas is signed for 5x8 which is one of the best contracts in the league. Very different situations
@MattBakerSTL If it leads to ownership making more long term improvements in the squad then I would agree. There’s also a world we finish outside of the playoffs and ownership points to the open cup and spins this season as a success.
@BleedOilBlue Yeah he’s on one of the worst contracts in the league like Nurse. Kyrou had a down year. I don’t need the copium like Oil nation. Post Holloway and Broberg’s cards and tell me the oilers aren’t dying for two players like that
@BleedOilBlue I’m stoked for the lottery Oilers fans should know that feeling better than anyone. Enjoy Trent Frederic and Jake Wallman when McDavid and Draisaitl are gone in 2 years. And that’s two if you’re lucky!
@Wuelling@STLBluesViews I like Carbo and Jiricek as much as the next guy but Bolduc put up better numbers in the Q so who knows what he’ll be at the NHL level. The ceiling of the 4 other rookies (not snuggy) is probably middle 6 forward and 2nd or 3rd D pair. Need more elite talent
