Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Oil Kings GM Kirt Hill (9/2/25) · 3 Sep 2025 podcast

I mean

At the end of the day, some players are gonna go and have a great experience and some players it's you know, the grass isn't gonna be greener for them and it's you know, the N C double A is it's older hockey.

It's very depending on what division you're in, it's you know, some teams are majority

They're made up of twenty three to twenty five year old players and some guys are are ultimately gonna be depth players on teams and you know, the big factor of having to now go to school

um, take four classes and not play as much.

I think that's gonna be another big factor.

Like guys in the Western League that have played are they used to playing three or four games a week and now when you're you're practicing five days a week and only playing two on the weekend, I think some players potentially might that make the decision that they want to come back at some point.

I do feel like that's going to happen.

Yeah, I think there's l there's other there's variables that are at play.

As you mentioned, I think that us having a team that

you know, the guys are excited about and a lot of these guys have been through the rebuild and they got a taste of the playoffs last year.

They wanna really take a stab at this thing when you know, together as a group and and try to win together.

I think that's one part of it.

And, you know, I think there's an element too of

You know, the staff, the the coaching staff, um, the scouts, all our support staff and everything we do here in Edmonton.

I mean, we play in a beautiful arena too, and that's just another variable and the opportunity that guys have here for development I think is extremely strong and lots of guys I think made the opp made the decision to come back because they they like the group.

They like the development and I mean the other factor like I talked about, it's uh you don't get to play everybody doesn't get to play in Roger's place every day.

is and

You know, I s there's a lot of momentum with the group this year and who knows, it's

I'm sure there's gonna be a point where every single team in our league is gonna go through losing a star player and I'm I'm saying it's not.
