I'm 100% sure this came from the McDavid camp... its no coincidence. Lowe/MacT celebrating over the win, and suddenly they are shown the door? (or in Lowe's case, promotion?)

I think the circus act is gone, which sucks, and the Oilers have a pretty good chance to become a real good team now. But the era of a dynasty is dead; Boston and LA couldn't even make the playoffs this year. As mentioned many times, Crosby, Ovechkin, Tavaras, Stamkos etc have enjoyed minimal to no championship success. And the Oilers have no D, and it will basically be impossible to acquire outside of a trade. Still a long road ahead.... but the circus act is indeed dead.
