I usually have my doubts on these type of rumors.
But it does bring up questions if it is true
Is this a regularly scheduled trip by Orr, or something that was booked in the last day or two
Is he meeting with his client? Or with the Oilers on behalf of his client?
Orr has two clients with Edmonton, one is McDavid and the other is Kassian.
Frankly the Oilers need to have friends like Bobby because they'll advise their clients on whether on not to go to the Oilers in the case of a trade.
Maybe I've misread this trade thing and the pressure to make the playoffs. Maybe instead of it being about season tickets and box seats, its about their generational player saying I want some help around me now or this off season is going to be uncomfortable.
