laughing way too hard about them hiring MacTavish and promoting Howson right now, those "special" Oiler boys up there just never fail to amuse me. |
From what i saw McTavish was praising how times for the Oilers are better than they were when he last coached. Meaning back then it was difficult to land veteran stars on the UFA market. Now with a top prospect lineup, they are a team that does compete with UFA's. McTav brought up that they haven't won over the UFA market, but unlike before where the players turned down the idea of playing for the Oil, now the franchise is in the running for these players. The new GM then was claiming he would sign some players that will help this team of young talent, to get them in the playoff and Stanley Cup. He compared how the NHL is so competitve that making the playoffs placing 8th, and winning the Stanley Cup can be done cause the Kings did it.
