um there's a neurosis with their fan base just simply because they haven't won right and you can feel it they are quick to turn on their team in vancouver calgary it's it's sport for similar media guys to to talk about edmonton um maybe i get it to a certain extent but uh

in terms of the relevance of, you know, and their football team for a number of years, like the last 15 years, has been as good as anybody, right?

Maybe them and the Bombers of the last few years.

But anyhow, what do I know?

Some would debate anything.

Let's get to the Oilers Now Audio Vault for Direct Workwear.

And Brian Lawton was on yesterday's edition of the Oilers.

Now, we talked a bit about the need for Edmonton to get more players and more depth involved in the lineup.

Now, don't forget Brian Lawton represents, I was going to say Brian McDavid, that is Connor McDavid's dad, but Brian Lawton started Octagon's player agency.

It's one of the most powerful agencies in the business.

They have Leon Drysaddle, Miko Rantanen, to name a few.

Szymanski is an Octagon client.

It wasn't an accident that he ended up here at Edmonton.

He's going off, by the way, to the World Championships.

He's going to play for Germany.

Matthias Ekholm is going to play for Sweden after Sweden didn't have him on their Olympic team.

And yesterday we found out Evan Bouchard, who wasn't on the Canadian Olympic team, is going to play for Canada along with Darnell Nurse.

Anyways, Brian Lawton started Octagon's player agency.

He was an agent for a long time before Tampa Bay.

had him sell his agency and he became the general manager of the Lightning.
