Inside the Nation: McCrimmon out, new options, and Lucic’s comments

May 2, 2019, 21:33 UTC
Dustin Nielson’s Thursday edition of Inside the Nation just aired and if you’re panicking cause you missed it don’t worry, we’ve got your recap below!
The breaking news out of the NHL today was that Kelly McCrimmon was announced as the new General Manager of the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Yes, that means that he’s no longer an option for the Edmonton Oilers anymore, and Dusty’s got opinions about it! With McCrimmon out, what are our options now?
Nielson also brought up how Milan Lucic made a comment this past week about how he could see himself playing for the Canucks in the future. It was an odd comment for Lucic to say, and you KNOW that Edmonton is going to take it and run with some stories. Darren Dreger said on the Nielson radio show this morning that there was one team kicking tires on Milan Lucic at the trade deadline. Was that team the Vancouver Canucks? Is a one for one trade with Loui Eriksson a possibility we want to explore?
Other topics discussed include the NHL Playoffs, Brad Marchand, and where he was during the 2006 Edmonton Oilers cup run.
Watch the video below!
