And if you're off just a little bit where you don't get full value, then it hurts your club.

Edmonton starts every year with a massive advantage.

They have two of the top four forwards in the league, and they have one of the top... I'll be overly gracious to the rest of the league, which doesn't see it the way I do, but one of the top ten defensemen in the league in Evan Bouchard.

And people have to remember...

It's not the mistakes you make.

It's how do you do when you're out there?

And Evan Bouchard is a massively positive player for the Edmonton Oilers, regardless of what anybody says.

That's the unemotional, just bare bones, first principle thinking, drip it down to what it is.

He is a top 10 defenseman in the NHL.

That's a lot to start with.

Edmonton's coming back with that next year.

And

I understand what you said initially.

You're not doing fantastic.

I can't imagine anybody else is there, and yet I can't see any reason why they can't turn this around over the summer, be a fresher, healthier team next year.

and be right back where they were last year, marching towards the Stanley Cup final.

I would definitely want to re-sign Connor Murphy.

I thought he played exceptional.

Kapanen, I wouldn't go crazy on because now you've got to get into –

You literally have to be into evaluating the players like him against him and then figuring out what it's going to cost you and seeing what type of value you end up coming with.
