I think the fans and media would go a little nuts if Jägr was sitting while the Oilers face the eventual cold spell on the powerplay.

I don't know what you mean bruh..
It's obviously fluid. There's gonna be injuries/benchings/cold spells/chemistry shake ups/doghouses etc
Jägr would certainly get minutes. Maybe even the benefit of the doubt to start with
I just meant in the Interest of full disclosure, pc would have to be sure to say the development of our young players to surround mcdavid is priority 1. That said, you might be one of the first guys sitting. And a hall of famer like him deserves that honesty.
Hell, pc stated as much when he addressed why he wasn't gonna make many changes/additions this offseason. He wants to see internal development and what the nurses/slepyshev etc can do. Not even saying it's the right move per se, but it makes some sense both economically and chemistry wise
