Sounds like Maroon likely gone at deadline, atleast what Elliot Friedman was saying on the FAN960 this morning. Hopefully Charelli can get something meaningful back and not a bag of pucks.

If I'm being real and not just an asshat, I think Charelli really fucked up with the Eberle deal. I think everything else was okay up to that point. I didnt like how the fans turned on Eberle and management basically followed what the fans wanted. It showed in the return that they got for Eberle that they were clearly dealing an asset at it's lowest value.



Haha well ya that’s his MO. See also: Hall.

The Hall deal I could argue wasnt that bad because it addressed a need. Larson plays more of a game than Hall and therefore even if Hall puts up a ton of points there is still value to having an actual defender who can play 28+ min a game.

The Eberle deal was dealt from a position of weakness when a players value was the lowest. They basically ran him out of town for at best a potential 3rd liner. After 1 playoff run they decided Eberle was too small to make it in the playoffs and was going to be a ghost his entire career. Definitely jumped the gun and the fan pressure didnt help.

Chia was defending the eberle thing the other day. Saying he was afraid of an offer sheet on draisaitl. Trading eberle freed up space which would let us match.

But then they signed Draisatl to a deal that nobody else was giving him. They also have a ton of cap space currently, so the offer sheet fear really doesnt hold much merit. I thought Chia was a smart GM but this move was brutal. Like I said, he traded a player at his lowest value for basically no logical reason.

Oiler nation is twice that of what the flames have.
He has allot of explaining to do.

At this point it’s hard to tell which year was the off year. Last season. Or this one.

Maroon isn’t worth much more than a bag of pucks tho, pending UFA who carear accomplishments are basicly being carried by mcdavid.
