Better Lait Than Never: Peak Silly Szn draws nearer

Wednesday. A new episode of Better Lait Than Never. You can set your watch to it.

It’s NHL Draft week and that means we’re nearing the pinnacle of the silly szn festivities, and that means all kinds of action around the NHL that may or may not impact what happens here in Edmonton. This time of year can be both frustrating and exciting and every emotion in between, but the goodness is that we’re all riding the wave together. No matter if the Oilers do nothing or everything, I know that we’ll all be complaining about it as a team and there’s comfort in that. With unity at the front of mind, I worked through what has been a crazy week in the NHL leading up to the draft with teams from all over the league pulling the trigger on trades both big and small. And while the Oilers haven’t gotten anything done just yet, that doesn’t mean that they weren’t impacted at least a little bit by teams within the division getting in on some of this early activity. I also touched on the story everyone was talking about after the NHL Awards when it was revealed that Seth Rorabaugh from Pittsburgh had Connor McDavid ranked fifth on his least for league MVP. Outside of that strangeness, however, there wasn’t a whole lot of action as the night seemed to go off without a hitch. Lastly, I wrapped up the episode with a fresh round of voicemails to get your take on the BLTN presidential election and what’s been going on over the last week.
