I think there was such a lack of flow to the Oilers game because of the overzealous officiating that they didn't get a good look at them at even strength. Way too much special teams in that game.
My guess is they liked what they saw in limited 5-on-5 time, and want to get a better look.
I'm hard pressed to believe they've been swayed into making a decision about where they'll play this year based on the first two rookie games of the season. A lot of hockey to be played in the next few weeks.
