I mean, yes?Are many other GMs in the league clowns because of this as well?
This is a dumb NHL rule that a lot of teams, not just the Oilers are a victim of as a result of the 5 year flat cap. All the league has to do is allow an emergency call up when you can't dress 18 skaters, but an adherence to a fundamentalist ideology around the cap is more important than having teams dress the most competitive lineup apparently.
Teams are usually supposed to carry 2 extra skaters so you can handle a couple injuries.
Which we are carrying an extra skater so we can. Unfortuantely for us our extra skater is a defender. Which, if the team really wanted to could easily just assign Broberg to Bakersfield and call up a forward. However, we won't do that cause this team likes 11-7 anyways.
