I hope everyone had an excellent weekend because it’s time to get back to work with a brand new Mailbag! This week, we’re looking at Adam Larsson walking for Seattle, Zach Hyman’s rumoured contract, Xavier Bourgault, and more. If you’ve got got a question you’d like to ask, email it to me at [email protected] or hit…
The Edmonton Oilers have issued qualifying offers to RFA’s Kailer Yamamoto, Tyler Benson, Cooper Marody, and Stuart Skinner.
Unless Xavier Bourgault develops more quickly than most forwards taken in the bottom-third of the first round in any given NHL Entry Draft, we won’t know what kind of impact he’ll have with the Edmonton Oilers until fans have had two or three seasons to judge the deal that’s going to bring Zach Hyman to…

For the second straight summer, the NHL Entry Draft has been pushed back because of the ‘Rona timeline but we’ve finally arrived at the fishing day for new toys and I’m here to cover it all. Are you excited? I’m excited. Since there’s bound to be plenty of action and speculation…
