Your friend's probably talking about Dylan Strome who the Oilers will get as a throw-in when they trade 'his Tenderness' Nugent-Hopkins to Arizona for OEL.
A swap of the hyphens.

As much as we'd like to make fun of GG becoming part of the Oilers, he'll probably make them a better team since he is in a lesser role. I liked him, just wasn't good enough for a head coaching job.

I wanted to see Gulutzan fired into the sun, by wow. He got fired into the decaying remains of the sun, where the gravity is so heavy it doesn't allow even light to escape!

Rumoured hes joining Edmonton as an Assistant Coach.
@shawnmullin;
The @SCBroncos have called a media conference for tomorrow at 9am “to announce the details of personnel changes amongst the hockey club.” The plural of that line makes it sound like it’s more than only Manny Viveiros moving on to the pros. We shall see.

I won't know how to feel about this move until 120+ games have passed and I can do a deep dive into the statistics. Otherwise, it's too soon.

GG's hair style will greatly improve with the Oilers grease on.

I reckon there will be a lot of Yawney-ing in Rogers Place next season.

that is a very big IMO...BB has a pretty solid roster in Minny and has failed miserably. Like someone mentioned 2 more playoff wins.

Well Calgary's 29th ranked PP was better than Edmonton's 31st PP, so yeah technically he could improve it.

With that said, is Katz going to go the direction that a Yawney or Gulutzan want to take the team if it doesn't line up with the ideas of of one of his Oiler super action figures Kevin Lowe or Craig MacTavish. I don't think so.
