Well put Deraldin. I can see Volourns point, I just don't agree with it. Conklin has shown spots of brilliance in the past, just not this year. He missed most of training camp with an injury, which is no excuse I know, but it seems as though Conklin has been the man everyone puts the blame on for the Oilers current woes.
I'd rather see him regain his form in the minors than trade him or release him from his contract. And to his credit the entire team has been sucking ass as of late.
