His insight is minimal because he wastes time making useless comments like Pierre McGuire more than asking insightful questions that draw more out of those around him.

He was suited to hometown hockey and the fact that he didn't bring a substantial audience with him to hear his diatribes is evidence how insignificant he is.

This is all you need to know about Ron:

On the Edmonton Oilers' 2015-16 playoff hopes:
"Fantastic. I think for sure playoffs. I tell you who’s going to be lights-out this year is Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall.

"They went over to the World Championship and played with Crosby, which is similar to Messier and Gretzky. Not that they needed any encouragement but those two Oilers flanked Mario Lemieux at the crucial moment of the Canada Cup in ’87. Now you have two Oilers flanking Sid to a gold. You watch Eberle take off. He’s already been great in international hockey, but I think this is going to be his year, Taylor Hall’s year.

"And Connor McDavid and Darnell Nurse will fit in. Gimme a glass of wine or a beer, and I think in two years they win the Cup. That may be a little eager, but I don’t think more than four.
