They have the hammer this year to grind Bouch. Yes, you don't want to tick off a good player but they have the hammer (defined as player is RFA with no arb rights, his choice is take what's offered and play here or don't play in North America) and should use it. I'd love to see something in the 3.3 range which would give them the ability to have 2x 775K players for a 22 man roster. Lavois is more expensive than 775K so he may be in for a rude awakening if he doesn't really impress at camp. Great vid as always. Take care all.
I wouldn't mind Ekholm on Nurse pairing to help develop Nurse more defensively, but then the bottom two pairings would be too risky. In my eyes, Ekholm is the Oilers #1 Dman. #2 league wide
Love your t-shirt. Describes your channel perfectly. And the Oilers too. Love that roster. Looks strong. Hopefully, next June the team will get its last workout hoisting the Cup and skating it around the ice, preferably at home. 1990 is a lifetime ago. Check out that beautiful picture of Kevin Lowe, Mark Messier and Jari Kurri holding the Cup above their heads. Bill Ranford where are you? Without his goaltending they wouldn't have won. Damn, everyone is old now. Where has time gone. Whoosh and the years fly by. Nick Ritchie still available? I like the idea of adding a little more toughness. And more defense of course.

Luv your vids
Like this comment if Lavoie makes the team out of camp 👌
Be great to have Sam Gagner back but we shouldn't sign him just for posterity. Go with whoever is the best choice available.

They need to bring in a fighter nick Richie would be great
I hope they go after Stasney. He would be a Toews option who can fill in the lineup if injuries happen. Can play the second PP also.
Wait if lavoie makes the team who’s spot is he taking?
I like your line choices .

Would love more sandpaper still. Comtois, Motte, or pry Johnston from the Isles.
