And I quote ‘especially on defence, which has been a black hole for decades’. Has?
Also in the article:
- Neal is a useful player (no mention of how much they are paying him to be on the taxi squad )
- Khaira looks big, fast and confident
- the oilers right side of defence has become an area of strength
- Evan Bouchard has elite skills and pedigree
- Ra-ra, go oilers, we are the best franchise in the world

I dont even have to look to know that any article containing that kind of stuff was written by David Staples,
