That was an easy holding call just saying. Not like the refs would call that in this situation but they should
 
Well 4 years then that’s a diff story
4 more years in Edmonton at $5.5..........

Yeah, It'll probably get ugly, but that's a beauty for them right now.

Like I say, hindsight:crystal ball etc etc....

We'd have all lost our minds if Dubas re-upped him for 7 years x $5.5m

And yet we could have that guy right now and bury his last few years in some way no problem.

I'm just saying the Oilers got lucky with this guy and I was wrong and can admit that. Didn't see 50 goals............no one did!

Yep. We wasted a f*** ton of assets trying to do so. I'm certain we would've had a few final 4 appearances by now if we'd have hired a different GM to take over from Lou.

With hindsight, I can see now that every deadline when Dubas tried to add toughness and character guys at the TDL it was more like a student doing a project at the last minute. Yeah you can bring in those types at the deadline but if the culture isn’t already established they aren’t going to go out of their way to stick up for guys or go the extra mile to win.
