I wonder how much rope Blake has? He's to them kind of like Iginla is to the Flames so kind of awkward when the day comes that they have to let him go. The PLD trade, the goaltending situation, firing a head coach mid-season, and going quietly in the first round once again to the Oilers is likely going to make for an uncomfortable end of season meeting with ownership. They do have some cap space and the opportunity to go clean slate with no goaltenders signed for next season but the outlook isn't great.
