This Ethan Bear story is unacceptable. I hope that young man knows how much he has already contributed to the team and community, and that he knows the VAST majority of fans are furious about this and all racism. I stan Ethan Bear (my kids said stan is good).

Jesse Puljujarvi is the best RW on the Oilers and contributes to outscoring which is central to wins. This season, if healthy, he would have scored 20 goals while helping all of his linemates out score opponents. I’ll take that player all day, especially at his cap hit.

Trading Bear, if you get value in return, is justifiable. Are you getting a signed Kuemper? Are you getting a good young C or W? The biggest question: Does the organization itself have true market value on Bear? I think that's a very fair question. They did NOT have it on Jones.

The Oliver Bjorkstrand trade is not close to real value, but taking on the entire cap hit is key. Keep that in mind when the Jesse Puljujarvi trade drops. It will be a mistake and the return ghastly. Oilers are weak at RW. Keep JP, make the money work another way. We wait.
