Kenny, in his infinite wisdom, has accounted for this eventuality.

You see, for his skill and his contract no other team is going to want to take him.

So he is an Oiler for life. No more Schultz and Petry embarrassments!

The Edmonton Oilers are like the Soviet Union...a perpetual embarrassment obsessed with not being a perpetual embarrassment.

The eternal Lemniscate.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
