This could get awkward when Craig Simpson starts lurking around the Oilers...

Oilers hire Olympic champion Pelletier as skating coach

On a positive note, Eakins will now be able to implement his SWARM defense with artistic flair...

Edmonton Oilers ‏@EdmontonOilers 4m Some notable #Oilers main camp line combos: Hall-RNH-Eberle, Pouliot-Draisaitl-Perron, Hendricks-Gordon-Joensuu, Yakupov-Arco-Purcell

Looks like Leon will be the 2nd line center and I can't see Yak being too happy on the 4th line. There's gonna be trouble.

Ryan Rishaug‏@TSNRyanRishaug3m
Just spoke with Yakupov, his English has improved immensely after a summer in Edmonton. Speaks with confidence. Wants to score more goals.

410, here we come.

The only 410 the Oilers have a shot at this year will be the teams collective minus in the plus/minus department.

Yak should be happy if he makes the opening night roster.

Also of note, #Oilers Ryan Nugent-Hopkins now listed as 190 (previously 180).

He must be retaining water.

To be fair (reported), 7 pounds of that is a heavy bandage wrap on his shoulder

Ladislav Smid takes a swipe this morning:

D Ladislav Smid, acquired last season from the Edmonton Oilers, is about to have his first training camp with the Flames, but figures after going through practices last season, he's aware of what to expect. "The team has its own identity and it's hard work. When I came here from Edmonton, and nothing against Edmonton, but the practices here are just on a different level. It's like a game. It's getting you ready for the game and it's not as big of a transition from practice to game."

Not to defend Oilers fans but 55 points would be quite the accomplishment for Gaudreau in his first pro season. Hell, the Flames may decide he will be better developed in the AHL.

He's definitely a guy I'll follow though. I love watching those little waterbug types who have sweet hands.

I was thinking the same thing, if Johnny Hockey were to score 55 points this season, I'd be very happy (and very surprised). Also, Cullen is usually very pessimistic when it comes to the Flames, so this is another shocker.

/He did a great job getting Oilers fans all in a tizzy though.
