I have to say, the Oilers got way too close to the Stanley Cup this past season. Let's not have that happen ever again

other than losing to Vancouver it played out in the best way I could imagine

get to the finals - have hope
lose the first 3 games - lose hope
get to game 7 in the way they did - a new hope
lose game 7 the way they did - absolute devastation and disintegration of new hope and emptiness emerges

like the absolute feeling they had going into game 7 was no way we lose... I even held that feeling and to see if play out like it did....I just get giddy

They have Jeff Skinner so they are going to get eliminated from the playoffs on the last game of the season.

I was really wanting the Penguins to bring him in on a PTO. Not that I think he is good or anything but truly just to witness the locker room interactions with him and Karlsson.

Nurse will miss the beginning of training camp as he continues to recover from an undisclosed injury. Bowman said he expects Nurse to be ready late in training camp and the team is taking a cautious approach with his injury.

The 29-year-old defenceman finished with 10 goals and 22 assists in 81 games for the Oilers last season. He added two goals and four assists in 25 playoff games.

Bowman also said that Kane is scheduled for surgery soon. Sportsnet's Mark Spector reported last week that it is a sports hernia surgery.

While there is no exact timetable for his return yet, Bowman said Kane will miss all of training camp and the beginning of the regular season.

"He's going to be out a while," Bowman said.

The Oilers GM also confirmed that Kane will not start the season on LTIR, but added the team may consider it if it needs the cap flexibility during the season.

According to PuckPedia, Edmonton has $946,000 in cap space as the 2024-25 season nears. That includes Kane’s $5.125-million AAV.

This is saying the quiet part out loud (cap circumvention that is).
