Hey there! I just read about the Oilers recalling Josh Brown after Darnell Nurse's injury, and I have to say, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher. Sure, Brown brings some grit and toughness, which the Oilers definitely need, especially after that brutal hit from Reaves. But recalling a guy who struggled in training camp and has been more of a penalty magnet in the AHL raises some questions.
I get that they need someone to step in, but is Brown really the answer? It feels like a short-term fix that might not pay off. The Oilers have been lacking physicality, but they also need solid defensive play, and I’m not sure Brown can provide that right now. It’s a risky move, and I hope it doesn’t backfire on them. What do you think? Do you believe he can make an impact, or is this just a stopgap until Nurse is back?
