Stan Bowman is entirely out of touch. The Edmonton Oilers GM continues to make bad decision after bad decision, undoing all of the good Ken Holland brought to this franchise.
The Oilers were rumored to be in the market for a versatile defender and a scoring winger. Coincidentally, they had both players on their roster during last year's run to the Stanley Cup Final. But instead of matching the offer sheets on Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway, the Oilers decided to fill those holes at a more detrimental cost.
No offense to Jake Walman, but he's getting $1 million less than Broberg and doesn't come close to matching his production. Likewise, the Oilers decided to ink Jeff Skinner to a more lucrative contract and he has 26 fewer points than Holloway. In summation, at roughly the same cost, Edmonton has two worse players in Walman and Skinner. And they gave up a first-round draft pick to accommodate those transactions.
The Oilers need to rid themselves of Bowman before he does more damage.
