Can't see either Eakins or MacT getting the axe this early, although it has happened in the past with varying success.
However it plays out, the futility up north is always an entertaining sideshow to say the least. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

One of Edmonton's biggest problems right now is that nearly everyone is handcuffed due to the salary cap being artificially low. 18 teams have less than $1 million in cap space and 23 less than $3 million. Nobody has room to move right now, so the only way Edmonton can really trade a big ticket player is to get another big contract back.
