Edmonton is No Good XII: "I Dunno.. it's Just Not Good."

We like to joke about it around here, but apparently McDavid really is the GM. And they talk about this like its a completely normal and expected thing.

So McDavid is calling guys around the league to get them to ask their teams to waive them?

This is a whole lot of bs. Nothing to see here at all.

Cue the Connor McDavid tampering charges next.

Lol.... Stan Bowman has been calling other teams around the league to lay the groundwork for potential future trades. So, he is doing general manager stuff that every general manager does, and somehow that is praise worthy?

Lol, so TSN posted an update on the McDavid contract talks. And the update is… that there’s nothing to report and there’s no actual update. Even the media are getting desperate now, haha.

If the Oilers start slow, the panic and negativity from up the road will be delicious.

There's a "Connor McDavid" quota in the media. For clicks, streams, etc.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

The "updates" are guys who know nothing about mcdavid's state of mind and personal outlook putting themselves in his shoes and saying yeah imma sign that 2, 3, 4 year extension on a random day when I feel like it.

So little intellectual honesty about how If it was as simple as that it would be done, and never a mention of the real possibility of him walking.

Not being signed is a distraction, any way you slice it. So why would he allow that to persist into an important season? Its so blatantly obvious that the prospect of leaving Edmonton is intriguing enough to endure that distraction, otherwise it would be done.

Just too funny to watch them dance around the truth they're trying to avoid.
