Who cares about the stupid debate, it's the first battle of Alberta this season tonight!!!

Will be cool to see, but it's not really close to what the actual lines will be. I'm looking forward to it, but I'd rather see the debate.

So, a preseason split-squad, and Reinhart still can't make the team?

So, wait, Trouba asked for a trade in May and Chiarelli still managed to somehow not trade Hall for him?
- BINGO!

Wow your new avi is definitely creepier than your old one... What do you guys put in the water over there in Saskatchewan?!!

F'n brilliant fatmarsh!

Peter Chiarelli announces a new Oilers mascot:

Is this our new mascot?

Years ago, I went on the Oilers facebook and suggested that they get a mascot... I guess they didn't like me saying that, as they permanently banned me from commenting on their (frank)ing Facebook page...

See Luongo's tweet on it???

It's all good, we all know your our resident American politics guy. However, I'm going to pass on 90mins of American propoganda thank you very much!

There were no swears or anything... I remember it going something like, "You guys should get a mascot... Great opportunity to represent the brand at children's hospitals, and throughout the city"

And boom... Banned.

Ugh the debate...
The US is f'd either way... Its degrees of f'd for us depending on who wins.

Pre-Katz?

I just wanna tune in to see if anyone passes out, or gets assassinated.

Pre-Katz?

I'm thinking maybe around 2009 or 2010, so it would have been after Katz bought the team.

I can only imagine what is going to start happening on this thread now.

Tobias Rieder isn't planning on attending camp either.

Rieder and Trouba in Oiler silks? I'd give Chia an A+ for his offseason analysis if he made it happen.

As for Trouba, the best player to return in exchange is Nurse without a doubt. Both fit exactly what both teams need (trouba, 2nd, for Nurse, 1st, as mentioned by Mr. Bone).

Now as for Rieder, Arizona has a lot of cap space and the need for right wing talent (Especially since Rieder doesn't seem like he will be staying).

I'd like to say Yak (he needs a new atmosphere and the opportunity to thrive in a team that doesn't have 8 other young guns trying to get a spot in the top 6), 2nd, 2nd (from WPG) for Rieder might get the job done.

McDavid-Pulj I'm betting on this to happen.
Draisaitl-Rieder The Blitzkrieg duo!
RNH-Ebs Easily the most obvious chemistry setup.
