I watch every game, sometimes he's incredible out there, sometimes he looks like he's floating and completely disinterested. My issue is frustration with his engage level. Nothing would make me happier than to see him playing the way he can play, at least 85 - 90% of the time. Everyone has an off game, he tends to take too many games and too many shifts off. I once saw Larry Robinson accidentally score 3 goals against his own team in one game. EVERYONE can have an off game, as long as they don't make it every second game!

They assumed that they could just keep negotiating past the deadline. They must suck at poker. Edited October 9, 2020 by RWMc1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s going to be awkward and I can’t imagine how OEL is feeling now knowing he’s going back to a team that tried to get rid of him. OEL is still a great player but is not the player he was 3 years ago. As the year to years that go by there will be less and less interest from teams that won’t want to touch that aging contract.

brian42 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Arizona is gonna be in big trouble not only with the OEL situation but they couldn’t pay their player and it’s only gonna get worse with no attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm glad we didn't get that anchor of a contract. It's not even the salary that bothered as I think he'd be worth it with the offensive forwards he'd get to play with here. He just showed he wouldn't be the most cooperative when it came to be traded though. It was that attitude and the NMC till the end that made me shudder at the thought.

They'll just look at moving other contracts to move salary. OEL was their best option but now it will be plan B - moving a couple of contracts weakening the team even more.

DeNiro Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I think we’ll thank Benning in the long run when the details of this potential trade come out. No reason we should ever have to give up a top prospect when we had all the leverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 well they wanted to much back which is funny as no team will pay what a player is worth once a situation comes up and they want out by a certain time good on JB for walking away and not over paying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Sooo. I wonder if there's any chance JB circles back on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
