The question named the two members of the Seattle Kraken organization, one who is out with an injury, the other who will play tonight that played five-plus seasons in Edmonton.
Jordan Eberle is not available. He has a pelvis injury. He is on the trip. It's the mom's trip, and so he is captain of the team, is on the trip. Jordan spent six years in Edmonton. He's now up to 1,035 NHL games played. And now 34 years of age. And Adam Larson played five years for the Oilers. He's 32 years of age. And I'm just thinking that did those two play together for a year? Yes, they did in 16-17. Would be the one season that they crossed over in Edmonton today because the Oilers are in Edmonton. Yeah, because Eberle played on a line with Lucic. And Ryan Nugent Hopkins in the final quarter of the 16-17 regular season when McDavid, Drysaddle, and Maroon were a thing. And then that was the year that Adam Larson played his first year coming over.
On that memorable June 29th of 2016 when the Edmonton Oilers traded Taylor Hall to New Jersey for Adam Larson. In the 16-17 season, you could make an argument that Adam Larson outperformed Taylor Hall. including scoring twice in Game 1 of the Round 2 playoff series. It was in Game 1 or Game 2 that he got a pair of goals for the owners, Adam Larson. Taylor Hall bounced back, though. Conor McDavid won the MVP in 16-17. Taylor Hall, in his one fantastic year in his NHL career in 17-18, would win the Hart Trophy. So there you have it. And Kimberly had the correct answer at 5-10 at Edmonton. She knew that... She knew that the Edmonton Oilers, the two players that spent five-plus seasons in Edmonton, were Jordan Eberle, six years total, and Adam Larson, five years total.
So congratulations to Kimberly, who again has entered to win a hand-sized Matthias Ekholm jersey. Check out proamsports.ca or visit them 12728 St. Albert Trail in Edmonton today. We're trying to negotiate contact with Craig McTavish. He is not in Edmonton today, so we're working on it right now. We will give you the Oilers now.

How did the hosts recap the Oilers‑Canucks recent games and results?
When accidents happen, go to jameshbrown.com. Trent Brown, Jim Brown, proud supporters of the Edmonton Oilers, the Edmonton Elks, and the University of Alberta Golden Bears. Trent Brown, probably for me in the last 40 years, the best football player the U of A football program's produced. A two-time CFL All-Star and a 93 Grey Cup champion with the then named Edmonton Eskimos. Evander Kane this morning skated at Rogers Place. We know that. Because he put it out via social media. And subsequent to that, Frank Cervalli. We did not mention that during Frank's segment. Very early stages.
