⁠within 1 goal of tying and 2 goals of winning, math much?

This Oiler team is as deep as the 87 Oilers offensively. This will be a fun season. Maybe with 3 really good lines you won't have to play Drai and McD so much and they can remain healthy for a cup run.

I would say this level of depth hasn’t been seen in 34 years for the Oilers.

Last season Draisaitl was often skating with players who were really not top 6 players. That won't be the case next season.

Skinner didnt fall asleep, Jamie..you commentators fell asleep whenever Bouchard made his nightly mistakes in his own end

So excited about this year 😂🇨🇦🇺🇸

Great question great interview ✔🇨🇦😁

The Oilers made some great moves but they still haven't addressed the D properly or the sub par goaltending. Extended a journeyman AHL/NHL back up sure... But they are really betting on Skinner to be better next year and he doesnt have any injury problems.

Did you watch the playoffs? Skinner got better as they went on and played very well in big games. He had better stats than Bobrovsky! He'll be even better this year with all that experience. Give your head a shake, stupid comment.

I heard, I believe, on Friedman's podcast that the player has to agree to go on LTIR. They mentioned this specifically when talking about E. Kane. I'm sure this is not a big deal for 99.99% of players, but I always did wonder why Kane just didn't get healthy back in Dec. or whatever.

I’m not going to get too excited. We saw how horrendous the first few months of last season were. Yes, they made an incredible turnaround, but hyping them too much might end up biting us in the ass

Early 2000s Detroit is the team they're probably referring to.

Grinds my gears that Ryan McLeod can't figure it out. His favorite player is Ryan Smyth, then channel that grit man. Love the kid, but maybe move him. Can't always fall in love with a player and keep them even with all negatives.

@@mithex8414 I couldn't. Conner is worth what he's being paid, nothing more. He's fantastic but if he sucked up any more cap he'd be a liability. Draisaitl might only have the output he has because of McDavid. He just disappeared in the final 7 games. He's a great player, well deserving of 8-9M, but not more. Players like Hyman and Draisaitl, if you take them away from McDavid they don't have as great of stats.

​@@mithex8414 Therein lies the fundamental flaw of having little depth to the team. In the playoffs you're gonna get battered and bruised. Every team is dealing with injuries. When you have 230+ points in the post season and 105 of those come from 3 players you stand a very good chance of getting screwed when one of those guys gets even a bruised rib or a sprained finger. Every little thing is gonna affect their performance.

Absolutely, but the illusion of "hard to get back the next year" is a false legend. Teams do it all the time. And it's not like I'm picking these other examples from the the pre salary cap era or the 40s. Literally happened 3 different times in the last 8 years😂😂

Get rid of mcleod . if finances work, replace him with one of Pederson, lavoie, borgault, or savoie. Even drake cagguila if he's still available. Mcleod is a fourth line player now, and there's no doubt anyone of the players mentioned above would contribute no less than what 71 did.

It won't matter. They will never coalesce into a real team. Not while your captain wants all the accolades, ice time, and attention for himself.

@craigcervo4384

Mc David is not like that at all. You guys out side of Edmonton have a skewed idea of who he actually is.

Derek Ryan is better 4th line center than McLeod. Mcleod Plays too soft, but doesn't have enough skill to warrant it. He's got tremendous speed but little finish and no grit.

The team needs Kane's physicality! Mcleod needs to go. He makes soft plays all over the ice. Even on the forecheck, he's reluctant to hit anyone. He avoids contact at all costs. Those players are almost useless come playoffs. I'd rather have a minimum wage tough guy that just hits and fights for the 4th line. Should look into packaging Mcleod , Ceci, plus an incentive for another legit top 4 dman.

too bad no NHL team is ever going to get this deep since the Oilers screwed the rest of the league with the 1st overall pick system. You can also say Oilers were the worst team in the league the longest time in NHL history.
