Oilers sent a gift basket which included a DVD of Gagner and Hemsky highlights to Dany Heatley in 2009 to lure him to EdmontonI might of missed it. What DVD?
Yup, he will just need to learn how to play a complete game. By all accounts, he's one of the least engaged defensive wingers in the league. But damn, that shot is eliteWatching Jeff Skinner highlights. He doesn't waste anytime after receiving a pass like RNH dusting off the puck or looking for a pass on an open net. He's going to have a career year playing next to McDavid
I think Jackson had many lines out whereas Holland seemed laser focused on one or two targets.I think Jackson is simply more aggressive in pursuing free agents. Skinner mentioned in his interview that the Oilers kept checking back on him throughout the day which was a big part of the reason he signed. He felt wanted.
No offense to Ken Holland, but I don't think Holland operated the same way. You have to be aggressive in a cap world when you see something that can help your team.
Interesting idea!! While I suspect Crosby will just stay where he is if he did want one more shot it would be a cool move. Double retention on his deal would be very cheap money wise. About $500K for Pittsburgh and $250K for team two. That would put his cap hit at about $2.175M.
He also controls pretty much every aspect of where he plays. The only kicker is that he seems to be very close to MacKinnon.
I am 99% happy that when I talked to him the last time he hated me with pure venomI 100% blocked him

I think Skinner will be on the 1st unit PP taking RNHs spot because of his quick release.Yup, he will just need to learn how to play a complete game. By all accounts, he's one of the least engaged defensive wingers in the league. But damn, that shot is elite
I thought it was like a tourism DVD highlighting how much Edmonton had to offer. And it showed like Banff and WEM or something lol.Oilers sent a gift basket which included a DVD of Gagner and Hemsky highlights to Dany Heatley in 2009 to lure him to Edmonton
That’s what I think at least lol
Jackson is awake for 16 hours a day. Holland is awake for 8 hours a day.I think Jackson had many lines out whereas Holland seemed laser focused on one or two targets.
No wonder we got no free agents back thenI thought it was like a tourism DVD highlighting how much Edmonton had to offer. And it showed like Banff and WEM or something lol.
wee book in would be a good place to find the dvdNo wonder we got no free agents back then
I wonder if I could get a copy of that DVD at value village now
It’s be a rare collectors piece. I’d love to have it lol. It was self produced too, like Oilers got their camcorders out and all.No wonder we got no free agents back then
I wonder if I could get a copy of that DVD at value village now
Pretty sure now they just email every UFA a link to McDavid highlights on Youtube.The DVD finally worked!
thanks for the laughI'm not sayin' ... just saying, cap wise this works, I don't mean making a move like this now but at the deadline if Pittsburgh is out, they could send out Kane + McLeod + futures and make it work $$$ wise.

If Sid chooses his destination and this is the one he wants, wthe could make it work.
thanks for the laugh
If we free up some cap room from Ceci and Kane could throw a low ball at Barrie for 1 year. Would much rather see him back with Nurse than Ceci or Kulak.
I have a Paul Coffey jersey retirement DVD sent to my family after my sister requested it the year he retired.I thought it was like a tourism DVD highlighting how much Edmonton had to offer. And it showed like Banff and WEM or something lol.
