Gagner’s future is as a winger, IMO. Oil now short at C, unless they’ve penned Draisaitl in at No. 2 C.

Oilers really rebuilding the rebuild now aren’t they?

Not a fan of Dater at all but he does get it right as it's just bad contracts changing hands. MacT really has made a lot of moves over the past year maybe more than any other team but none of them of the bold variety. All of them what I would call medium to small moves over the past year but at the end of the day I look at that roster and I just don't see the progress. On paper they kind of look worse than they did a few years ago.
