Its team building 101

Lol. "wanna come here" more like "no other option" or "team of last resort".

Edmonton is no good!

Oldest team in the league... Let's sign a 35 year-old Kevin Shattenkirk.

Maybe it hasn't been revealed or discovered yet and he's looking for the a-hole asylum of the Oilers.

And where is the cap space/picks/prospects going to come from to sign/trade for all of these players who can't wait to get to the no goods.

Yeah, that looks like a typical Corey Perry move. ####### on the ice, ####### off the ice.

Gretzky did it in 696 games. If Draisaitl played all 82 games each season for the next 9 years to "beat" Gretzky record he will have played 1457 games.

I am sure he could get more points if he plays 2.5 to 3 times as many games.

In an attempt to make the organization a little classier, the Edmonton Oilers have opted to put gambling ads on their jerseys.
