Well, McDavid is a centre not named Nugget or Draisaitl. So, that part is true.

My favourite post-game interview from the Eakins era was last season after another bad blowout loss, Hall was interviewed and complained that they were playing too much defence lately (HA!) and weren't able to use their offensive skills. Immediately cut to Eakins saying something like, "we need to stop thinking we have some elite high-powered offence, we're one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league".

Ramsay replaced Buchberger and Steve Smith less than a year ago.

It was to be the harbinger of change last summer if you look back at the articles, soaked in Kool Aid.

And then this gem about the hiring, classic Mudcrutch, sucking up before he landed his 6 months gig later in the summer:

As Tyler Dellow pointed out on twitter, in his first season as coach in Atlanta, The Thrashers saw their open play corsi rise by three points.

As expected Jay Woodcroft (former San Jose assistant) has been named an assistant coach of the Oilers. Jim Johnson (former San Jose assistant) has been named the other assistant coach -Edmonton Oilers

McLellan keeping his assistants from San Jose.

MacDavid didn't seem too happy when the Oilers won the draft lottery. I wonder if he threatened Katz that he would pull a Lindros if he didn't get his #### together. How else do you explain all the smart moves they are suddenly making? As if this was all just "part of the plan". Hopefully it all blows up in their face anyway.
