Inside the Nation: Culture, the draft lottery, and Keith Gretzky out?

Despite missing the playoffs for the 12th time in the 13 years, it’s been a very busy week in Oil country and Dusty Nielson is back to make sense of it all. On today’s episode of Inside the Nation, he looks at rumblings that Keith Gretzky has already been told he’s not getting the job, the draft lottery, and much more.

To start off today’s episode, Dusty looks at the rumours he’s heard that Keith Gretzky has already been told he will not be getting the GM job in Edmonton. According to Nielson, he’s had a couple of very reliable sources confirm the news and that he is sticking to his tweet. From there, he jumped into the NHL Draft and offers a couple of suggestions on who might be available when the Oilers pick at 8th overall. Next up, Dusty runs through the Oilers’ culture and what can be done to change it. This morning, Wanye wrote a well thought out piece on how the team can develop a winning culture, and what needs to be done to turn things around from where we’ve been over the last decade. To say that Dusty was fired up in this episode would be an understatement and we know that you will be too after watching.
