This is how I imagine new Oilers players walking into the dressing room:

Will actually be very worth while putting 960 on in 45 minutes! Should be interesting!

A closed door meeting between the GM and the players, lol? Sure, ok.
In his head, Chia probably thinks his speech will come across like Pacino in Any Given Sunday.

Seriously?
No way I could see Hitch wanting any part of the GM role, but he is a loyal Edmonton (city) guy, so who knows.

Wait. The Oilers are calling yet another press conference? To discuss moving players to the minors? The recent losses? I can't get over how many pressers they hold.

Someone on HF boards found the transcript for the team meeting today:
McDavid: "JFC guys I cant do it all"
Draisatl: "Neither can I!"
Brodziak: "You never can unless your paired with Boy Wonder"
Draisatl: "Verpiss dich"
Reider: "I know what that means"
Puljujarvi: "Wut it mean? I know English maybe good not"
Kassian: "Says the guy who knew he was being drafted in the top 5 and never bothered to learn a word of English beforehand"
Puljujarvi: "Yes I drafted 4, now pizza and sauna time, want to come Kass?" (Licks nose)
Draisatl: "Pizzaboy FFS, he was telling you that you are part of the problem here"
Puljujarvi: "Thank you!"
Rattie: "It wasn't a compliment you idiot. Now get out of my way, I have to pack my **** thanks to Hitch wanting to play you over me"
Yamamoto: "I thought I stole your job, whew, thats a load off my mind"
Nurse: "Maybe if you'd score a goal once in a while you might earn your job here. Hell even Lucic is scoring now"
Lucic: GLARE IN NURSE DIRECTION
RNH: "Guys guys guys, cool it, Ive been here longer than anyone, trust me this is not that bad! I mean Eakins could still be our coach!"
Lucic: "Yeah we are only 3 points out of the playoffs, I mean cmon! In Boston we worked together, won a cup, team first, rah rah!"
Chaisson: "Speaking of cups has anyone seen my cup ring? I had it here a minute ago"
Talbot: "Khaira tossed it over here so I could look at it, but it went in on the short side and now I cant find it"
Khaira: "Guys the problem is I am busting my ass for league minimum here and some guys making 10 times what I get aren't pulling their weight"
Lucic (grabs calculator): "Hey man, its not all on me."
Larsson: "Guys I have been total **** since Klefbom went out, and I am the guy Chiarelli traded Hall for, its all on me."
Reider: "I go with that, yeah"
Chaisson: "Says the guy who hasn't scored a goal all ****ing year..."
Klefbom: "Guys I am back after 1 more game, then it will all be good. My abs and I are coming to the rescue."
Sekera: "Same here!"
Klefbom: "You dont have abs."
Sekera: "No but I am coming to the rescue!"
Klefbom: "Man, you cant even skate anymore. Why are you even here?"
Kassian: "Its the refs fault guys, they dont even let us fight anymore to try to turn the momentum in a game. I mean really."
Manning: "Hey how about next game I will take the legs out from underneath Larkin when he blows by me, maybe he breaks his collarbo....oh sorry no just ignore me"
Petrovic: "I think I will be in next game, so we should be good."
Benning: "Not if I have anything to say about it. Im not coming out"
Jones: "Yeah you probably are Matt. In fact I am surprised it wasn't you who was waived this morning"
Spooner: "See ya guys! Off to Bakersfield to regain my confidence!"
Rattie: "Yea you'd figure they would send Yamo, PJ and Jones down to develop but nooooooo. Lets trade and sign players then waive them...."
Koskinen (loses his mind and kicks a garbage can through a wall): "Enough! I didn't leave the KHL to come here and be embarrassed!"
RNH: "Your agent really didn't do his homework on which team to sign with did he?"
Room falls into total silence. McDavid stands up, leaves room, texts Katz: Trade me right ****ing now.
End of meeting.

It's pretty hard to compare but I'd say Bure in his prime had comparable speed to McDavid. Bure couldn't puckhandle and distribute at the same level while at top speed though, but again it's close. Comparing a pure sniper to a playmaker with a muffin is hard though.
