Holloway is improving but EDM needs scoring depth for the playoffs. As much as Holloway is expected to help in the future, decisions need to be made about winning a Stanley Cup!
Kulak's cap hit makes him replaceable. You can gush over these guys all you want but the fact is the PHI trade would be an upgrade for the Oilers! Seeler would be fighting for ice time with Desharnais as Walker can play both sides! Ceci has been on fire with Nurse while playing top line mins and you want to keep Kulak over him?... Get some sleep, you're trippin
Do you even watch the games? Holloway IS scoring depth. He’s creates lots out there. And selling him now would be selling him at his lowest value. And if the Oilers want MORE scoring depth they can spend a 1st and get a 2RW. They can target Mantha, Tarasenko, Duclair, Okposo etc etc. there’s lot of rental RWers available for picks.
Seeler is not better than Desharnais in no shape or form. I know his game well. Good defensive D with a bit of a snarl but Vinny is better in every respect including puck movement.
Ceci on fire? Wtf are you talking about. Dude does an okay job on defence but couldn’t score to save his life. He’s on the longest goalless streak in the entire team. And yeh offence matters on his spot when the Oilers consistently set him up for shots and offensive zone puck touches that he does absolutely NOTHING with. Did you watch him last night? He gave away the puck at the offensive blue line with a bad pass. He shot directly into a defenders chest when set up for a point shot. This is his game, every game. Meanwhile Kulak hits a post and gets an apple on a smart pass into the slot.
You’re bad at assessing hockey, just plain bad.
Walker is also better than Ceci. I know his game well. That’s the upgrade the Oilers need. Not this imagined upgrade of Kulak to Seeler.
