this is so awesome. finally oilers think they may have done right, when in fact, not only did they not get the player, they basically auditioned a spot during their camp for all other 30 GMs to determine just how good he could or couldn't be based on prospect and a main NHL camp.

Bold mact, bold indeed.

I think the best possible outcome in this is the Oilers using a 2nd or 3rd rounder on him next year to save face.

It's astonishing how that franchise continues to be so inept. It's not like this is a brand new issue, there's recent precedent to go off of. And they still got it wrong.

You'd think eventually they'd figure things out, but there's no end in sight.

Does the kid get to keep his signing bonus? That would be the cherry on top.

The Oilers should've went big and signed McDavid.

I'm still really surprised that not one GM thought he was worth a late round draft pick this year. He clearly showed some fantastic skills, and he's the perfect low boom/bust type of guy to take in a late round.

Read MacTavish's last comments. It looks like they let the agent interpret the CBA for them.

There's one important question....

When making fun of the oilers fans at work, how do I pronounce this kids name?
