I think we should all get jersies with Jackson on the back. He may be the best pickup ever

Don’t pay attention to the haters on social media. Except me of course!😅 But Kane is still as valuable as ever. Exactly the type of player that might have gotten us past Florida. I hope that Kane is able to get healthy and if it takes a good portion of the season, so be it. I don’t know anything about Kane’s personal business but he did some really classy things for the City. As long as we can assemble a winning team in the playoffs, let the regular season help develop the on and off ice chemistry. JJ is being very aggressive and it’s fun to watch.

Because of this Savoie trade I'd give Chef Jackson a 10/10🎉 He just traded our 4th line center for a 9th overall pick!!! From just 2 years ago.

Yes! I was waiting for this!!

Jackson is making moves that I have always seen other teams make and wished the oilers would to.

At 3:55 of the podcast: The "room" did not want Zadorov. A good player, and a force; no doubt. But he crossed the line with the things he said. The counterweight was the signing of Josh Brown. Without Evander having to oppose Zadorov almost single handedly, and probably getting hurt beyond return in doing so, we probably win the Cup. Like David, I'm glad he's out of our Conference. Here we go Oilers, Here we go!! ( Followed by two handclaps/foot stomps) The Leaf fans will have a hard time interrupting. (An old cheer from the eighties at the Colosseum)

Evander (The Real Deal) Kane is one of the premier power forwards on the planet for the past decade. Anyone that doesn't like Evander doesn't know anything about hockey. Evander can play on my team any day of the week. Great player!

Such a great move to unload 71. Do not understand the man crush David and Bruce have on Mr. Flyby. Another fleece job by JJ.

Im looking forward to seeing how Savoie does in the AHL. I don’t expect them to have him in the lineup at the start of the season, but i hope he hangs around late in preseason games. If he can average over a point a game down there, he will definitely get a shot with the Oilers sometime during the season.

Wow! You brought that up about his skating. Yeah, that's what I've seen in this about Jeff Skinner

Jackson just made Holland look like he should be managing Mcdonalds

Well Done Boys. Enjoy seeing you talk EDM wearing smiles

Don't forget Dylan Holloway who led in the hits department! Good job Holloway

100% agreement on Evander Kane. He's a unique player, who makes important contributions to this team. I hope that he is placed on IR and given time to heal properly. This team needs him healthy and ready to go in the playoffs.

While McLeod has fantastic speed. He's about to turn 25, and we're still waiting for him to take that next step, and have been for like 2 maybe 3 years. I think the playoffs sealed his fate. He had more ice time per game than Foegele Holloway Brown & Janmark. He had about the same regular season results as Panthers Evan Rodrigue. I remember huge game impacting moments from all the above players in the playoffs (offensively & Defensively). Not sure I saw McLeod in the playoffs. Everyone found another gear except him. Wish him luck in Buffalo. But we needed to clear cap space and he was one player easily sacrificed. Far less sting than Foegele.

I like Kane, but right now he needs to get healthy and ready to accept the role he will have.

Buffalo traded a first rounder for Mcloud 😂

I do remember a few years ago it was hot summer Brad when the flames gm had all the hype and love for his dealings in the offseason…. Catapulted flames into a rebuild. These signings all sound good but remember this is signing a 30,30,31,31,32,34,&39 year olds the youngest 4 combined for 14 goals and 2 major injuries and of the oldest 3 it’s a player that was just bought out, and a player that was healthy scratched multiple times so while on paper the line up looks incredible, zero games are won in the offseason keep in mind

What JJ is missing is upgrading the Oiler's defence. Oilers is one shutdown defenseman away to complete the roster. Those people who said Kane lacks physical skills probably start watching the Oilers in the finals.

To me, the character and story of this free-agency period is more meaningful than beating Florida would have been. Obviously the cup is glory, but in truth it was the nominal result of one goal. All these great players giving up money to collaborate on a great, heartful team is the real victory in my books.

Kudos for the Zoolander inspired title

savoie reminds me of bedard a little bit just from a few highlights i watched similar style

I understand that savoie is prone to injury and that is why they let him go!…it’s a good thing we didn’t let Holloway go for all his injuries because look what he’s turning into!…I believe savoie will get better and be great for us going forward!

If I've got my video on during a podcast... I probably clean out my bookcase.

We traded two players away and got one player back and still ended up with the same amount of Front Teeth on the oilers!

This is an old team that needs to win this year period, In my mind the line up is Skinner (32) mc d (27) Hyman(32) Kane(32) Leon (28) Arvidsson(31) Rnh(31)Henrique(34) holloway(22) Janmark(31)Ryan(37)brown(30) Extra:Perry (39) Average age of forwards >31 Best (only) shut down d man >34 The good news is the best players are the youngest players, the bad news is they all need new contracts very quickly. Bouchard ~9mil/yr, Leon ~13mil/yr mcdavid ~as much as he wants/yr ( I guess 16)

Free agency has softened the game 7 loss….a little.

Jeff Skinner, I think, is better on his skates than either Foegle or McLeod.

The only fly in the ointment is Corey Perry, who I like.

Why not have Jeff Jackson remain as General Manager. And, if he would prefer to not travel with the team for certain road or home games, then he could hire a full time Associate General Manager (who is well trusted) to travel with the team whenever needed. Problem solved.

McLeod was too soft for this blue collar market... 6 foot 3 but played like he was 5 foot 4 was absolutely horrendous in the playoffs. Great trade for Jeff Jackson only if Savoie lives up to expectations

So no more Believe background

I wonder what Kenny would have got for McLeod?

Is a Nurse trade possible?

Corey Perry is finished! Why was he re-signed? Makes no sense.

I think the Oilers could have found a younger quicker fourth line option than the old and slow Perry.

Fantastic trade because he just hasn't learned what it takes to play at the NHL level, zero physical presence anywhere on the ice. Never makes a hit or takes a hit and can't ever get to the net

Jackson has a very strong case to make to older cup less players. But - perry was a bad signing - not a disaster but takes up some cap and a roster spot. There’s only one puck and lots of players used to having it. Even with manipulation and moves it’s almost a certainty that there will be zero cap room at the deadline. And the team hasn’t gotten tougher or bigger or stronger defensively.

@40:47 What is your reasoning for not putting Kane on LTIR? You didn't say anything beyond "You can't" Why wouldn't Kane want to get health. Kane was pretty good in the first two rounds and useless in the last two rounds. There is still an 82 game season to get through. The Oilers and Kane should be working together to get him 100% healthy. What's the big deal if that required LTIR?

Everybody is happy that the Oilers made the Finals, no one demanded explanations ,expectations are so skewed in Edmonton its pitiful, Jeff Jackson was the bright mind that brought the Trojan Horse Mumford into the equation, and that was a major part of the screw-up that last year really was.

Yeah arvidsson is his best work. Man Dave doesn’t know anyone but the oilers lol. Clearly skinner is the best trade geez wake up.

David, evidently you haven't done your homework. Fantasy that Kane goes on LTIR? Did you seriously say that? Do you expect him to do cart wheels and back flips on the ice as soon as he gets out of the hospital after his scheduled surgery at the end of the summer? Also, Matt Savoi is just as ready as Bedard was and they threw Bedard into the deep end of the pool. These guys aren't toddlers. Jackson acquired him to put him in the Oiler line up in the 2nd half of the season maybe sooner. You're pumped up on Kane, but there is a high probability Jackson will ask him to waive his NTC and Kane will be traded banking on the fact that Kane's recovery will be quick. If not Kane will be on LTIR for as long as Jackson can keep him out and free up the cap space for a blockbuster trade. If we learned anything about Jackson thus far, he loves blockbuster trades worthy of a big headline in the world of pro sports.

They gotta keep Kane. It's a liberal mindset that doesn't like him

No defensively signed players brutal signings. Hopkins useless in the playoffs was the issue on a lot of goals. Bouchard brutal defensively good for a goal game to the opposite team.

32 and has made 100 million playing hockey... What the hell is wrong with all of us willing to support that shit? That's ridiculous. Really going to reconsider spending any money at all on this game from now on.

That’s not hockey! Give me a break 😫Who cares
