"Assuming there's no complications carrying forward with the #NHL, Mike Babcock will be the next coach of the @EdmontonOilers. It's inevitable."
-@Bob_Stauffer on @OilersNow this afternoon
Elliotte Friedman: “According to several sources, Babcock has spoken directly with owner Daryl Katz.
Babcock has met with or spoken to several members of the team’s leadership group. Whatever happened in those meeting(s) was enough to eliminate any potential objection.”

“Who am I to say? Brother had a brilliant career, that can happen to anybody. I just signed an 8 fight deal, that can happen to me tomorrow. Who’s to say I will win 8 fights in a row?
He had a great career and has my respect”

Regardless of your thoughts on Darnell Nurse, the Oilers can't afford to pay a 2nd pairing Dman $9.25 AAV. The contract prohibits the team making improvements in other (needed) areas, especially when the average AAV for a 2nd pairing Dman is between $4M-$6M.
We know from every single country that had been suckered down the net zero path that it runs though deindustrialization and inflation, higher power prices, brown outs and government debt and waste.
"I still think this is ridiculous... I really disagree with it."

49 Norris voters said in their ballot that Evan Bouchard was not a top 5 defensemen in the NHL this season.
49 people.
For reference, Bouchard had more points than Makar or Hughes have had in their entire careers, while being much better on the defensive end #LetsGoOilers
Canada is currently down 2-0 to Noway. Usually I’d be more forgiving for a team that lost their #1 defenseman and most importantly player, but this is pathetic
Canada and Bouchard dominated the round robin, and as soon as he’s gone they implode. That shows you how elite he is
Friendly reminder
Oil takes months to extract, refine, and ship worldwide. Yet, a conflict starts overseas and gas prices spike the very next day. The fuel at your local station was purchased months ago. That immediate price hike is a completely rigged monopoly.
Most people, myself included have accepted this team has 1 year to win or it’s done, Mcdavids out, our window closes.
How many teams win the cup with 2 top 5 forwards? Pens I guess.
But honestly a Drai/Bouch lead Oilers with the haul Mcdavid brings in would still be very good.
The Bouchard hit was a clear elbow to the head. Low life scumbags who are calling this clean either know nothing about the sport, or are using the hit to mock Bouchard and post more hate about him
Evan is a great human. People are obsessed haters for no reason. Get a life
