Father of 2 beautiful, smart, funny girls. I called the “Philly Special” play before it happened, in a full room. Kevin Smith once like one of my tweets
@JasonGregor If Tarasov was indeed the free agent target, I like this move a lot more. Decent AHL numbers, but a blocked path to NHL starts in Buffalo.
@dstaples I know that’s sitting on a fence but ultimately it comes down to “if not Babcock, then who” for that philosophical journey. So ultimately I approve taking the chance.
@dstaples Thought I answer for me, because the answer is both. I don’t live the individual, but I love the thought process/philosophy shown by the organization.
IMO, retention isn’t a deal-breaker, but the only way I think it can work is if the Oilers get a young roster player back with at least 4 years of RFA control.
Seravelli on 960 re #LetsGoOilers
Is not convinced that if Cassidy were to become available to the Oilers that he’d go there noting “recent disfunction”
Lists SJ, PIT, DET, PHI with cap space for Nurse also suggests some sweetening, retaining 3MM.

Funny to see a guy getting a lot of pushback for saying something that’s obviously true.
I love the CHL and my hometown team. But for an elite 18 year-old, the competition level isn’t even close to NCAA D1.
It is interesting that some NHL Draft Pundits appear oblivious to the reality that the NCAA is NOW a quantum step up from the CHL and especially a watered-down WHL.
Gavin McKenna and Keaton Verhoeff both made themselves better players by going to NCAA.
NHL teams know this!
@dstaples@edmontonjournal McCrimmon might have an ounce of credibility if it wasn’t leaked that LA asked too. Simplest answer is it was VGK or Cassidy’s camp that leaked.
@keithwhipp@sportsrage I didn’t take the comment as calling them coach killers. I thought it was a valid criticism of the team over-correcting on leadership style/coaching philosophy with each hire. If I’m a prospective coach, that just sounds like a dangerous spot to be in if I have other options.
@keithwhipp@sportsrage Too many, and the Oilers organization should definitely be criticized for it. But that doesn’t make the criticism of Toronto any less valid.

@spmackin The government announced a price decrease, so this was my stone cold lock of the week that would go up this weekend. Maybe I’m cynical, but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
