Awesome. Seeing Christian and the staff at Roost Chris. All right, the question we had for you, top storylines for the Oilers going into training camp, into preseason, into the regular season. Mac T, Mac T on Mondays for contract equipment. He brought up Ryan Shea. Where is he going to fit in? The Oilers bottom six forwards, and then the young guns, Isaac Howard, along with Josh Szymanski.

Bob Stauffer 1:31

We have Aidan Ganim here. Aiden do you have a couple of storylines that you are watching early in training camp and preseason?

What are the top storylines and player outlooks heading into Oilers training camp?

Aiden Ganim 1:39

I agree with Mac T on the bottom six part Bob that was a big topic of conversation while I was hosting for you I think that there's going to be a lot of competition there especially when Janmark comes back from injury I want to see Howard take a big step forward this year too we saw the progression with Savoy last year and you know if you go off the basis of those two talents you can't really compare two players as if they're the exact same but I think this is a good opportunity this time around for Howard to To step up and show what he's worth.

Bob Stauffer 2:04

By the way, Epstein's mother texts us on the Ashley Pine Flores text line and has, hey, Stoff, are the Oilers going to try to make use of the eight-year term length on Matt Savoy? My response to that is, as of 5.08 Oil Country time, I do not envision Edmonton consummating an eight-year deal tonight with Matt Savoy. I think they want to get a little bit more. The owners are in a different situation. I'll tell you why. Edmonton has this guy. You may have heard of him. His name's Connor McDavid. And he theoretically could be extended on July the 1st. And, oh, by the way, so too could Zach Hyman, who did two years ago score 54 goals. or a couple years ago, scored 54 goals, and last year scored at a 40-goal pace and looks fantastic in the captain's skates, which is what happens when you can actually train after having reconstructive surgery on his wrist.

Bob Stauffer 3:07

So I do not envision at this time an eight-year term extension with Matt Savoy the way some other teams have done. Like, case in point, Ryan Leonard today of the Washington Capitals. That's quite something. Like some of these numbers, I mean, when you're talking $10 million, there was a time in which the Flyers had like three guys making north of $10 million and the Eagles had one. And I'm like, how in the hell does that happen? This was like 20 years ago, right? I was like, how does that happen? Now, of course, really good quarterbacks in the NFL make what? $40? Yeah, $40 million a year. But I do not, again, as of 5-10 oil country time, envision a long-term extension in the next, say, seven hours for Matt Savoy.

Bob Stauffer 4:01

I'm going to tell you the owners love Savoy's work ethic. There's a fit for Savoy long-term in Edmonton. We'll see once he gets up and running, but I don't think it's going to be an eight-year term. All right, here we go. This texter says, Bob, any PTOs or last minute signings? No.
