That's too bad but I think the right call was made. That was an insanely stupid late hit.
Cogliano pretty much embodies just how insanely stupid the Edmonton Oilers are. I remember the word was the Oilers were dead set on either Oshie or Cogliano and would take whichever guy was left, and St. Louis took Oshie, so they took Cogliano. And for some reason they had an ace two-way player who also happened to be one of the best skaters in the league and flipped him for a fucking 2nd rounder. Oh, and in case anyone was curious, they used the pick on Marc-Olivier Roy, who never played a single NHL game.
