Nobody has considered the one consistent thing that happens to everyone in Edmonton yet?

I love it.

St. Kassian has almost no points few PIMs and a $3.2M cap hit.

Can they extend him again? That'd be awesome!

It kind of is for an Oiler though. The less time they spend on the ice, the less chance of being a minus.

Despite the fact that when healthy, Mike Smith couldn't displace Kostinem, Oil fans think now that he's healthy he is the solution?

I literally love how delusional they are.

Oh no, Sportsnet only talked glowingly about McLottery for 110 minutes out of a 120 minute broadcast! How can they be so anti-Oiler?!?!

Yeesh.

The only thing that is even semi-relatable to the city from that list is Evergreens.

Eagles is a team name but how many Eagles are in the area?

Off topic a bit but Norwegian Elkhounds are a remarkable dog, but again how much are they associated with Edmonton.

Lol Eclipses? Sounds like a lame band name. May be fitting since they get eclipsed by better teams every year

I’m sad “Eighties” didn’t make the cut. Totally describes the sports scene up there.

Kassian's response in private is probably "I'm rich b$$$$"
Kassian’s contract reminds me a lot of Kostinem’s extension. Overpaid, came out of nowhere, was totally unnecessary at the time, and seemingly done to appease the fanbase and show they had everything in control. And Holland can’t even blame Chia for this one. So bizarre.

Guarranteed, if they become the "Elements" everyone will call them the "Excrements."

Guaranteed.

Juvenile taunts are the lifeblood of organized sports.

Eclipse? Really?

Is Bonnie Tyler warming up in the (Ever) Green Room?

If they want to keep the EE branding for the football team they are missing the most on brand Edmonton name possible. If you want something that captures the spirit of the city, but starts with an "E" there is clearly only one option.

Please say hello to the "Edmonton Ever been to the river valley, it's really nice?"

There is a poll here, and Eagles has the clear lead.

Tkachuk trolled the whole organization into giving Kassian that deal.

Also Oilers dont seem to realize they are supposed to inflate players stats by playing then with McDavid and then dumping them for an overpayment

Instead they do this:

1) Play with McDavid to inflate value
2) Re-sign to inflated contract
3) Move off 97's line and wonder why hes not living up to his contract

I wonder if they'll accept write-ins. I suggest the Enemas.
