Connor McDavid throwing some shade on the Flames ability to "gel" as a team.
Quote:
The Calgary Flames have been steadily gaining steam and seem to be poised to challenge the Oilers well in the coming years.
Travis Hamonic and Mike Smith were among the additions for general manager Brad Treliving this summer, and McDavid sees the potential for the Battle of Alberta to get even more intense.
“Yeah, I definitely can,” he told Shilton. “They made a lot of good moves and picked up some good players. But sometimes that doesn’t always work. It’s not always the best roster that wins, it’s the best team. And sometimes that maybe doesn’t gel all that well.
“But it’s hard to argue with what they did. I’m sure they’ll be a good team this year and we’ll be looking forward to playing them.”
The Oilers and Flames will go head-to-head as part of a four-game slate to open the NHL’s 2017-18 campaign on October 4.
