<p>You&#8217;re 60% of the way through your week and that can only mean one thing — a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never to welcome into your earholes. This week I&#8217;m looking at the Boundary Battle of Alberta, Connor McDavid&#8217;s first presser back in town, Ryan McLeod&#8217;s contract, and a whole lot more.</p>
<p>To kick off this week’s episode of BLTN, I jumped in with a quick look at the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2022/09/11/recapping-the-boundary-battle-of-alberta/">Boundary Battle of Alberta</a> event that Woz, Kennedy, and Kylie covered for us this past weekend, and how I was absolutely stunned that we were granted access to any of the players. Needless to say, it hasn&#8217;t exactly been easy for us to make these kinds of things happen over the years and that&#8217;s why I was shocked to see how things played out. Getting back to the current team, I walked through the latest information about Ryan McLeod&#8217;s upcoming contract and also the potential for <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2022/09/12/report-edmonton-oilers-still-waiting-on-pro-tryout-answer-from-jake-virtanen/">Jake Virtanen to be an Oiler</a> even though it doesn&#8217;t seem like many people are interested in the experiment. Sticking with the Vitanen rumour, the other component of this nonsense rumour is that it would require someone to go and many think it would be Jesse Puljujarvi. I mean, really? It&#8217;s ridiculous. I also spent some time talking about jersey ads and <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2022/09/12/edmonton-oilers-reveal-jack-campbells-new-goalie-mask/">Jack Campbell&#8217;s new gear setup</a>, which all looks incredible if you ask me. Lastly, I wrapped up the episode with another round of voicemails to get your take on what’s been going on over the last week in your life.</p>
