Sportsnet is so brutal with Oiler apologizers it even makes fans hate the Oilers more each year.

The panel was trying to predict which of the three Canucks who are currently leading the scoring race was most likely to win the Art Ross and I'm pretty sure at least one of them and possibly two of them said they still think it's going to be McDavid.

Agreed. Spector is a laughable loser trying to straddle the line between being an old-school, tell-it-like-it-is scribe and a embedded team booster, and he sometimes succeeds. At the end of the day, he's harmless.
Tim Peel is a c###.

McDavid is currently 30th in NHL Scoring, there's no way he passes everyone.
Did I say 30th overall? oh wait, he's 30th amongst only Canadian Players. One point above Ryan Strome.

If you don't know, former NHL player Dave Gagner is also Sam Gagner's dad. Since retiring, he spent two years as an assistant coach for the London Knights, and then he went to work in player development for the Vancouver Canucks between 2008–13. After leaving Vancouver, he ended up working for the Orr Hockey Group—the same agency that represents McDavid.
I would ordinarily not think that this is very likely, but given what has transpired over the past year with McHobo's former agent Jeff Jackson in charge, given that he was a close associate of Gagner's at the he Orr Group for several years, and given that he just hired a head coach with McDumbass connections that he is also very close to I am starting to think that this could be an amazing possibility.
Please, let this happen.

Could be a power struggle between Gagner and the Oilers existing Assistant General Manager… also known as Brad Holland, Kenny’s son.

I wouldn't be surprised if Coffey wants in on the GM spot as well.

Yeah Matheson is unaffiliated now.
No longer does he get the direct lines, quotes, inside scoops and face time with Slats or Lowe or Katz as was standard Oiler policy to schmooze the local beat writers in order to carry out their business and sway the fan sentiment towards player or coaches.
It takes a few years to decompress and it's clear that now that he's out of the loop. Jones isn't much different these days...without the perks that those guys puffed their chest about having among journalist circles, they can now see things a lot more objectively and also not be gagged by the organization as would've occured in the past.
Plus Matheson will never get over Draistial being snippy with him, nor the organization doing nothing about that either.

They were probably lining up to offer Connor Brown the same deal but before the 3.5 million dollar wire transfer from the Katz family hit his bank account the NHL probably stepped in and said fool me once...

Mike Smith says hi.
I don't think any one has ever heard from him, his last words were "I'm not injured and want to play next year". Weeks later he was on LTIR.
Must have got a very handsome, off the books payment from Katz to both drop the protest and keep dead silent about it all.

Where's Keith Gretzky in all this? He was lauded for a few weeks a couple seasons ago as the "Next one" in line for the Gm throne, and crickets since.

The Edmonton GM job is interesting.
On the one hand it seems like an unmitigated disaster, like being the only EMT to show up at 9/11. Kind of overwhelming.
On the other hand though...if you're Paul Coffey you can do no wrong, nobody will hold it against you and you're made of Teflon.
So....not a bad gig.
