Drakes back

Lacklustre in Edmonton in his initial 2 1/2 years, then continues his up and down AHL/NHL career with stops in Arizona, Buffalo, Chicago and Pittsburgh, where he couldn’t find an NHL niche role on very weak rosters. It’s actually embarrassing to see him called up to an Oiler Club that aspires to be something. Org is scraping bottom.

Dermott on the 2nd pair....View attachment 923959
It's clear that for the most part, Dermott, Stetcher, and Emberson have all struggled to start the season. Gleason looked really good for 2 camps in a row, he's 25 or 26, why not give him a shot? I know he's a Lefty, but so what, Dermott has played both sides, so has Nurse, so has Kulak. I just don't see the harm in trying out Gleason. He's a bit of a long shot as well, but it's worth a shot, I doubt he's worse than what they've been rolling out so far. Even Dineen, try these guys out, it doesn't look like a trade is happening any time soon, let's see if any of the guys in Bako can play. Send Dermott down, and try one of Gleason or Dineen out.

If these guys can play like a team without McDavid it’s ultimately good for the season. Add McDavid to a functioning team and they’re gonna be deadly.

2 straight years Gleason has had a great camp. Like you say try him out.
