Better Lait Than Never: Ryan McLeod’s deal is done, now it’s onto Evan Bouchard

Did you think that just because I released a podcast last night for Ryan McLeod’s contract I wasn’t going to give you the normal Wednesday episode? Nonsense, I say. We’ve passed the midway point of the week and that means it’s time for a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never.

Kicking off this week’s podcast, I got started with a quick Frank update after so many of you reached out about last week’s show, wondering how my little man is doing after the scare from last Monday. The good news is that he’s bounced back quickly, but that’s not to say that there weren’t still some speedbumps along the way. I also handled my end of the bet I made with Dooks regarding the outcome of the Canada/Australia game at the Women’s World Cup after our ladies ended up getting shut out by a 4-0 score. Getting back to the Oilers, I spent a few more minutes on the Ryan McLeod signing and how it relates to what comes next with Evan Bouchard. Obviously, getting Dad locked in is the next item on Ken Holland’s to-do list, but what makes the contract especially interesting is how it will affect whether the Oilers are able to ice a 22 or 21-man roster. Needless to say, it would be nice to have an extra or two if things go wrong, ya know? 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.
