This in from Mark Spector of Sportsnet: “Frederic and Walman take the ice early at practice here on San Jose. A sports writer’s take: Frederic is a ways away from playing. Walman is even further.”
My take
1. * Sigh *
2. The Oilers traded a 2nd and a 4th spherical selection, plus fascinating risk to acquire Frederic fromBoston They give up a preliminary selection in 2026 forWalman Now they’re wanting uncertain for Game One on Monday versusLos Angeles Not wonderful. Not additionally close to wonderful.
3. I’m not claiming that Oilers GM Stan Bowman made any type of kind of error under, completely not with Walman, that’s apparently recouping from well being drawback, but likewise not with Frederic, that was harmed on the time of the occupation. But this development remains to be undesirable. Such is hockey, a harsh and onerous sporting exercise. It’s tough for an entire group to maintain healthiness.
