Comedy gold out of Edmonton

Dan Tencer @dantencer
MacTavish lists Hall, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins and Schultz as the core that the team will continue to be built around and relied upon.

Dan Tencer @dantencer
In reference to RFA Justin Schultz, MacTavish says he'd be confident in signing him to a long term contract right now.

No mention of Yakupov - a slip-up or is he headed outta town?

/more likely to the KHL is my guess.

As far as Justin Schultz is concerned, he's an younger version of Marc-Andre Bergeron - Good offensive skills, but a nightmare in his own zone. That said, 6 years at 6 million dollars per season (based on the Andrew Macdonald comparable) seems appropriate.

MacT just compared Yakupov to Mackinnon and paraphrasing here "When you draft someone first overall, you can't send them down to the minors"

Uh, what?

lol

What, I wonder, does he think is the purpose of an ELC?

And the only comparison between MacKinnon and Yak is that they both play hockey.

this is debatable, Ive seen Yak play one side of hockey only and its not very good

Oh, and it certainly sounds like Eakins will be back to coach the Oilers next season.

Well, I can honestly say as a Flames fan that I am very happy that Dallas Eakins will be returning to coach the Oilers next season.

Just means we all will get to see more tier two jerseys get thrown onto the ice - the madness never stops!

The fact MacTavish & Lowe are still in charge is an even bigger plus.

 

[mattola]

the look says

WTF do mean you are keeping me???? I have to coach this shit again?
