It was a clear message that the Old Boys Club tenure was over.
It made sense that McDavid was the catalyst for this, and would be the corner stone of a new era in Edmonton.
However...
There's something in the water.
If I was Hughes' agent, if drafted by Edmonton I'd send him to the podium with a bottle of water, shake hands, and then inform the Oilers brass that Jack isn't reporting.
If McDavid can't fix the Old Boys Club in Edmonton, no way Hughes can.
