Throwing shade at the Markstrom signing after they struck out (after offering a little less for 7 years) is so oilers.
There's no way you're happier bringing back Smith on a retirement tour.
That is becoming more and more obvious from Friedman's comments. They were banking on Markstrom, which is pompous. Translate his interviews with Swedish media and they'd see he wanted no part of Edmonton. Even some intel leaked here well before that he preferred Calgary. If they were actually stunned then they're pretty out of touch.
Edmonton isn't the desirable location they think it is. And goalies don't give a #### about McAvi.
