What's next, bringing in Souray to advise McDavid on how to treat his injury? Mike Comrie as Capologist?

All I can get

The only plausible explanation is that Katz offered McDavid a percentage of the team if he stays in Edmonton.
Like how Gretzky and Lemieux ended up with part-ownerships of NHL teams.
So McDavid gets to call the front office shots....

I find it funny that both Alberta teams are now coached by their captain's former junior coach (I know the circumstances are very different).
Obviously, they saw how well it's going in Calgary and decided to copy the Flames.
The Flames did the same with Don Hay back in 2000 too, with equal success.

When the Snet network isn't involved, like it is for all Oilers news, instead hiding behind an all access pass for idiot fans who part with more of their money than they should, this is sweeping things under the rug, and the questions will be pillowy soft.

Plus signing his junior buddy this summer to a ridiculous contract.
It was also reported that in the summer, McDavid vetoed a Fogele trade.

That family have their standards, even if they grew up just over an hour away from Edmonton.

I was thinking about this the other day. Duane and Brent played for the Islanders dynasty teams in the 80’s, which probably led to a hatred of the Oilers (see also: Canada Cup ‘84). Wonder if that bled into the family at all. Strange that Duane worked for them, out of all the brothers.
Darryl was also going up against them in the conference finals with Chicago in the early-to-mid 80’s.

Sutter coaching McDavid and Draisaitl might make them win. BUT it might also send McDrai over the edge. They'd demand trades.

I think it’s great business and shows how much contempt that organization has for their fans. They know their fans are stupid and they want to milk every dollar out of them. It’s like taking candy from a baby.

Looks like they took that 4-0 lead and didn't have a shot on net for half the game.
A fluke win.

No way the Oilers would even consider a Sutter, they don't believe in Oilers hockey. No chance McDavid would allow a coach who expects him to play in his own end. Not sure why anyone would even think they might do that

Ventured over to HF to see the reaction and found this tidbit on Coffey: apparently he has been “running” the team behind the scenes. Interesting that he gets to join as asst coach now

Do season ticket holders automatically get access or do they have to pay extra?
