I could see why you'd think that. The consequence of this past season was watching and rooting for the Oilers and Coyotes, so yes, I was an Oilers fan for 3 months or so.
I'm looking forward to watching Eichel for years to come, so my assessment is jaded with the emotion of the McEichel race. Giving him up seems crazy, BUT there has to be a point where GMTM would pull the trigger.
It would be hard to pass on this offer:
Nugent-Hopkins
Yakupov
