How Edmonton Oilers’ Front Office Decisions Secretly Undermined Their Championship Hopes
The depth of the Edmonton Oilers was shrinking right before their eyes. Evan Bouchard got a massive extension as well. But to make matters worse, despite saying they were looking to upgrade their goaltending, Bowman traded Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak to Pittsburgh for Tristan Jarry and his full cap hit.
Kulak was then flipped by the Penguins to the Colorado Avalanche and just sent his new club to the Western Conference Final with an overtime winner. In addition to those moves, Bowman also gave away a 2027 first-round pick, a 2027 3rd round pick, a 2028 2nd round pick, and a 2029 second-round pick in trades for Connor Murphy, Colton Dach, and Jason Dickinson with the Chicago Blackhawks, along with moving Andrew Mangiapane‘s contract.
