Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

What....the....funk...

Doesn't sound like he's in the same class as Probert.

Los Angeles Kings forward Jarret Stoll will probably be able to negotiate a "slap on the wrist" after being arrested and charged in Las Vegas on Friday for possession of cocaine and another illegal recreational drug, says a former state prosecutor.

Even if he gets off with a fine, what are the odds the Kings re-sign him? I'd say 0% at this point.

Oilers take the draft lottery and continue their quest to amass the maximum possible number of first overall picks without a winning record.

Well we will get to watch a phenom.....alot

Here's hoping the McJesus hype is misguided...

[Chef Boi RD]

What a fucking joke, rewarding incompetence with McDavid. 4th first overall pick in last 6 drafts, the other two were a 3rd and a 7th. Way to go Edmonton, you reeeeeeeeally deserve another 1st overall. Worst outcome possible. What's worse is their 2nd pick is higher than our first not to mention our best players are in their mid 30's. Whoa is me

Dude, you have said before they will be the rise of a dynasty...maybe now you'll finally be right...for once...

McJesus gonna save that deadbeat town! (now fire the GM! )

Chances are? Zero to none

Pretty much the worst outcome, yeah. Buffalo would have been great for us. McDavid could've terrorized the leaves for years and obviously won't have been out west.

I'm really happy for Edmonton. They've won 4 Stanley Cups, or is it 5? We have None, and we've been in the league longer and we've never tanked. If there is a team that deserves McDavid its Vancouver

Throw in Nurse, McDavid, Draisaitl and Pittsburghs 1st overall, I wonder if the Oilers 4th rebuild in a row is over yet

Is it possible they can screw this up?

Yes.The kid did not look thrilled at all and it is really possible there may be another Lindros situation here. I sure hope so. To see those jerks get the most talented player in years really hurts. They have got to get D and a goalie so if Mactavish is smart he may parlay this luck into some real talent on the back end. They have the cap room. The only question is does he want to be known as the man who traded McDavid, so I think not. They will just score a couple more a game and continue to lead the NHL in goals given up and back-end ineptitude.

I call upon all the hockey spirits to make them trade him. They do not deserve him. He is the real deal, but without back-up talent he could end up like Crosby, the man he mostly compared to, and struggle to make the playoffs.

They have Hall, RNH, Eberle, Yakapov, Daraisatl at forward and the Pens 1st pick which is in mid teens to trade for help on D or in goal, they also have Nurse coming on defence
