Good evening Patrick from Germany. From my point of view, Bouchard and Drai will stay at the oilers. Drai isn't the type of guy following the biggest money. It needs more a sign of respect at him to get his autograph and I think he will get it from the hole franchise! Bouch I think is the same type of guy like Drai. So it will be done by finding the right words and also the right numbers to get both. GM candidates, I don't know all of them not so good as you, but I think that should be somebody who will characterly are able to work in the same direction than the franchise and perhaps having some experiences with the franchise in the past too. It is a puzzle piece that have to fit in order to do the best work... . Cheers from Germany 🎉🎉

They are to close to hoisting the cup and when they do it once they will do it a few times, nobody wants to leave now.

When they were so close to winning and they have the best top lines on the nhl I doubt the free agents will look for more money. Drai will get extended. Edmonton is so much more close than any team right now to hoisting the cup.

Or Keith Gretzky! Both have incredible records.

Drai and McD are tight bros, no need for narratives that he wants the sole spotlight on "HIS TEAM". Have a good weekend Patrick!!!

I can't see the Oilers willing to Tampa Bay Leon like they did their former Captain now in Nashville. I honestly see Leon signing a one year deal (to put him and Connor in sync). This way if his friend doesn't resign it's purely his choice to move or not. I can't see him or Connor moving. Hopefully the fullness of time proves me right and they're Oilers forever (at a fair price with a nice long dynasty). Take care all.

I am not convinced Katz won't talk Jackson to stay on as Interim GM for this season. He's been their best GM since Lowe in 2005/2006. Leon Draisaitl will sign for $13.5 million/8 years. Bouchard will be a $9.5 million/8 year extension. Connor McDavid will come in at $15 million/8 years. Skinner is probably $6 million per season. The Oilers will hold on to Nuge and Hyman. They may try to move Nurse. Skinner won't be retained past this season for money reason. Ceci will go this summer. Ekholm's extension in a few seasons will come down a million or two. Kane will not be retained. They will make the money work, as the cap will be going up around $4 million per season. Stan Bowman will be the next GM, because puke.

13.5 for Leon

Imo the # 1 criteria to the Oilers GM do they a Vested interest in the Oilers & have Familiarity with this market & its unique challenges? So a person with History here & is Experienced with a Proven track record & a Winner. We don't want someone who's Heart & Head isn't loyal to the Oil imo. Someone who is solely Focused upon the Oilers & has no outside Distractions that would demand & disrupt their attention. I like the internal candidates best for that reason K Gretzky, Bill Scott, Kalle Larson & Brad Holland in that order. Shawn Horcoff & Doug Weight & Fernando Pisani would be ex Oilers who Id like if we got permission from their present employers. My #1 outside pick is Mark Hunter #2 Sean Burke #3 Kevin Weekes those other candidates sorry. Stan Bowman is a absolute non starter imo & as a overwhelming majority of the fans don't want him.

Why did Talbot not work out? I'm still a little confused on how that went down.

I’ve said over and over again than Leon will have a $13.5 AAV. He won’t make more. He may however have to take less if he wants to play with a team of this incredible depth.

I can barely hear your video. I don’t know if it’s on my end or yours . I think it’s on your end because every other video is good.

Another Flames or Canucks fan. They just can’t get over losing.

If Draisaitl leaves Edmonton, it's over money. And that to me is really sad. He's getting a raise, regardless of where he goes, but it's almost definitely going to be less in Edmonton than it would be elsewhere. Having said that, as mentioned in this video, Edmonton kind of is the only place where Draisaitl and McDavid stick together. The problem is, what if Draisaitl signs say a 4-6 year deal and the next year McDavid decides to leave for any multitude of reasons? I'm not saying that Leon isn't good on his own, but there is no question that without McDavid, he's on average a 75, or maybe 80 point player rather than a 100+ point player. And wait a second... Mark Hunter? LOL really? Director of player personnel and assistant GM for the Leafs when they were literally just as bad as the Oilers? I think I'd rather have Chiarelli back over this guy... Hard pass!

Drai i'snt going anywhere. Not this year.

No Bowman period. Trade Drai for Crosby? Sid is nearing the end of his career. Drai much younger. That trade not gonna happen. Ragging on Bouch and, as always, Codi Ceci. Too many negative comments. What's wrong with everyone? Get your heads out of the sand. This team came with one or two goals of winning the Cup. Bouch was there. Ceci was there. Nurse was there. If all these guys were so terrible the team would have been out at Vancouver. Ceci obviously had a good playoff performance. Okay, there are better d-men in the league. Okay, he's not Bobby Orr. He's not a fighter. He's not going to run people over. But I don't think he deserves to be a lightning rod for criticism. Let's focus on the positives here. There are a lot of them. Jackson has already done a fantastic job. This team is better than last year's version. I don't think Draisaitl is going anywhere except back in the Oiler's dressing room. Holloway has more experience now and will be better. Broberg looked really, really good. Awesome skater who moves the puck well. He'll be a regular on defense next year. Third line is back. Added Jeff Skinner and Arvidsson. Connor Brown has recovered from his knee injury. He'll be better. I love the way management stood by him and gave him time to fully heal. And we have a proven goalie now. No more doubts about Stu. So, my question is, what the hell is there not to like?? And then we have Patrick and his great channel. He's only going to get better too. A rock star. Hell, Patrick for GM!! My only worry? Nashville. They also got a lot better. Who wants to long range bet? Oilers and Predators for the right to go the Cup final. Onward to October!! Can't wait.

They’re all greedy !

Trade Drai, he did not produce during the final!

The Oilers need to trade Evan Bouchard. While his stock is up. He's got a bomb of a shot. But he is terrible other than that. Gives the puck away five times a game. Looks like he has fas.

What a horrendous take. Bouchard was near the top of league in zone denials, puck retrievals, and successful zone exits. His xGAR% was 88 (upper echelon of defensemen in his role- Ekholm was at 82). Not only an elite on the offensive side- his defensive game is also elite.

Loose Bouchard. They need the cap space and they need someone who can play defence.

Drai didn't deliver, it is time to face facts. They have an opportunity to trade him for an elite goaltender or an entire 2nd line.
