Ummmm those are all the reasons why they drafted him... E=NG

The Oilers don't do player interviews. They just draft off the list in the magazine.

Kids just need better coaching for the interviews:

Q: Who are your role models?

A: Mike Comrie, Sheldon Souray, Ryan Whitney, Chris Pronger...

Q) If you have a chance to do out with your team mates or go home to bed what do you do?


A) I'm closing the place and playing practical jokes like putting roofies in their drinks . . . so much fun


Q) What do you do for fun?



A) I like to stuff squirrells and put them in sexually suggestive positions, you can see my work on PornHub


Q) Is winning important to you?
A) Winnings ok, but finishing my time machine is more important.

Time machine? Edmonton is a time machine!

Oilers: "Time machine? This kid could be the ticket to getting us back to the eighties! Sweet, sweet eighties."

wow, Haynes comes out swinging!

@EdmontonOilers

The Edmonton Oilers will be retaining their third round selection (76th overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft today, and transferring their third round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft to Calgary to complete the trade in which the Oilers acquired James Neal.

The look on Holloway's mom's face is just priceless.

"This cannot be..."

This doesn’t exactly reek of authenticity.

He was told to say that or get a visit from Lowe in a Gimp mask.

[tvp2003]

Apologies if this was already discussed at length elsewhere, but just in case you missed it due to the Draft:

The Oilers did not qualify Athanasiou yesterday. As a result, he will become a UFA.



E=NG.

[Boreal]

Staples is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Quoting fans on Twitter along with his usual reporting on reporters.

https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/h...raft-day-moves

Holland acquired Athanasiou at the trade deadline for two second round draft picks.

“The Oilers gave up two 2nd round picks for Athanasiou at the deadline,” noted Boston hockey commentator Joe Haggerty. “Head-scratching asset management.”

Oilers fans were also not impressed.

speeds @hockeysymposium
Do not make the AA or Green trades, or sign Chiasson and Kassian, and EDM is rolling in picks and cap space. Say what you will about Chia, but that’s not on him.

Alan Hull @alanhull
They just keep putting anchors on their feet and trying to swim.

@OilersFanInMTL
So what has Holland done thats made you go “Good job Ken” besides getting rid of Lucic for Neal & 3rd.

I am sure he did, but just didn't do as good of a job as every other single kid in this draft. Who do you pick when they ALL do this?

I know all Oilers hats are ugly, but that one is extremely bad. Why not a basic blue with the logo? That thing looks like a dog ate Halloween marshmallows and puked it up.
