Considering the hefty price they paid for Frederic and Jones, they damn well better re-sign Frederic instead of letting him just walk away as a UFA.

But if they did, and not saying they should, it does free up that money for somebody else, no?

Interesting perspective from someone who travels all over North America for all sporting events - 2 separate reviews.

They need to re-sign McDavid and Bouchard (I'm guessing $15M and $10M respectively), however the cap space is going up.
FWIW here's the Frederic trade

Being able to golf in the winter does not hurt either, and some players prefer smaller markets with less pressure. Others are drawn to hockey-crazy places where fans care deeply and hockey is either the top dog or the only game in town.
The Edmonton Oilers, in the final for a second consecutive year, are the perfect example of that.
“The passion obviously that this fanbase has for their team is incredible,” said Oilers forward Evander Kane, who has also played in Atlanta, Winnipeg, Buffalo and San Jose. “Once you actually get here and get to know your way around the city a little bit more, you realize there’s actually quite a bit to do and it is a good spot for families and they have great summers.”

A true hero will rise tonight; a must-win by the Oilers and time for #97 to go intergalactic in his level of play.

Make sense.
Once Dallas won their cup in 99', it was a back page sports story.
Now, there are kids coming out of Texas being drafted into the NHL and they have multiple high school teams. Takes time to grow a sport that isn't football, baseball or basketball in the States.

Oilers win in OT tonight!
I'm glad they finally switched Stu with Pickard, who's now 7-0 in these playoffs.
Now then - what are the chances of seeing Taylor Swift perform at Fan Park?

There were quite a few 'Keep Edmonton Rat-Free' signs around, which made me laugh.

They already announced the James Barker Band for Saturday.
Maybe Game 7 if it gets there?
