Though agreed, I'm not sure why it was the Oilers who chucked in that draft pick.

You don't just throw away an asset like that without a better reason than "the fans don't seem to like him."<BR/><BR/>And while the Sauve trade was a bad one (terrible), it's still fair to point out that this one sucked too.Kent W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15679878875910837307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755945345944665791.post-70978738135940700062007-02-20T10:45:00.000-07:002007-02-20T10:45:00.000-07:00Well.

I can point to the Sauve trade last year to note that we can't throw rocks there...<BR/><BR/>Bergeron was a convenient scapegoat for the Oil fans though - they always seem to need one (Cory Cross, anyone?), and it's only a matter of time before they get pushed out of town.leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04302562575472335411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755945345944665791.post-30286308662213498822007-02-20T10:13:00.000-07:002007-02-20T10:13:00.000-07:00I don't understand the Oilers reasoning on this on...I don't understand the Oilers reasoning on this one either. They send a NHL ready defensemen and in return receive an unproven prospect...and yet, they throw in a draft pick to boot. <BR/><BR/>Someone really, really disliked Bergeron in that organization is all I can say.Kent W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15679878875910837307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755945345944665791.post-57916723138296814092007-02-19T11:39:00.000-07:002007-02-19T11:39:00.000-07:00Ha!
