Love this interview so much.

A throwback: Tyler Dellow vs. Steve Simmons on TSN Radio in 2014

@zjlaing Hiring all their bloggers for management seems kind of like besting them honestly

[Bret @bretzky_84]

Marner turning down a trade to the team that beat him in the finals is inherently funny

[Kevin McCurdy @KevinMcCurdy]

With Eric Tulsky leading the way, Carolina is one win away from the Cup. At his side as assistant GM is long-time Oilers fan and Oilogsphephere contributor Tyler Dellow. Farther down the chain is longtime Oilers blogger, Dennis King who was hired as a pro scout just last summer.

With one more win, they will join an ever increasing list of former Oilogosphere contributors that have gone on to help the off-ice effort to win cups for other teams. Sometimes you have to look in your own back yard for talent, you never know what you might find.

I'm not sure if you could pry Dellow or Tulsky out of Carolina, but what about Dennis? I know I've missed having him around here this year.

[Jonathan Willis @JonathanWillis]

Having had a bit of time to think about it, I really like the idea of Darryl Sutter for the Oilers.

If you're looking for a coach to fix the leaks in their PK and 5v5 game, that's exactly what he's been great at doing.

[Ry Brodeur @ry_brodeur]

I could definitely do with some "Sutterism" in Edmonton

@Madi39 I’m not sure he would have this year, if it wasn’t for Spector’s hit piece. Writing was on the wall that he was gone next year, with way less control over where he went. Nurse seems like the stubborn type

[Patrick Nordstrom @patrickn3]

@SportsThor I don’t believe you, but god I want to …

[Jonathan Willis @JonathanWillis]

I know this is going to get mocked. I get why. I'm tempted to join in.

Devil's advocate: the year Sutter got fired in Calgary, the Flames were +12, had a 55 xGF% at 5v5, barely missed the playoffs thanks to terrible goaltending, and haven't looked anywhere near as good since.

[Patrick Nordstrom @patrickn3]

@stevezieskidoo Agree with Deboer, and agree with Woody. I know it’s giving the oilers too much credit, but if the shitstorm around the Babs hiring gets the league to go back to vgs and tell them to stop fucking around with Cassidy, maybe the oil get what they initially wanted in the first place

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

I would rather hire Daryl Sutter than Mike Babcock, but maybe that’s just me. #Oilers

[Patrick Nordstrom @patrickn3]

@SportsThor I’d rather have Dave Manson as the head coach over Babcock

[Don Blake @SportsThor]

Woodcroft deserves a second chance well before Babcock deserves his fourth.

[Patrick Nordstrom @patrickn3]

@JonathanWillis Shouldn’t newly promoted AGM Parkatti have some idea of this?

[Patrick Nordstrom @patrickn3]

@Madi39 He can’t be thrilled hearing they almost traded him, but there’s also a new gm and coach and management, so they could easily go to him and say it wasn’t them trying to trade him. If they want to keep him, it should be pretty easy to smooth over

[Patrick Nordstrom @patrickn3]

@BlueBullet1981 @NHLFoley What did MacT say about Dellow?

[Patrick Nordstrom @patrickn3]

@stevezieskidoo @lowgradef Maybe the angriest man in tv history

[Jonathan Willis @JonathanWillis]

Evan Bouchard was +14/-0 for Canada before Lindgren's headshot knocked him out of the tournament. Pretty decent case that it cost them a medal.

[Sid 🇨🇦 @NHL_Sid]

Moving forward, here's why the Oilers should build their third-line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on it: https://t.co/fAhdpAuYsW
