"The NHL knows the Oilers can distribute talent around the league better than a lottery ever could."

I don't know that they plan to, nor that they should and I strongly doubt he'd waive his NMC for it.
But if the Oilers were to move Jake Walman, this is probably the best value they could possibly get for him right this minute and it might even be good value long term.
Frank Seravalli says that the #Blackhawks are targeting a significant veteran defenseman first and foremost. Someone with a Bowen Byram level impact.
I feel like there's been at least 5 borderline icing calls go Philly's way tonight.
1) The one Jack highlighted before the goal, linesman drops his arm when Emberson is well inside the hashmarks.
2) Dickinson thinking Frederic touched it.

The puck is in before Jarry is pushed back, but if you're gonna call Jarry for the tripping penalty that he got then it's a pretty good argument that you didn't let him make a poke check inside the crease.
Gonna be tough to win that though.

How exactly do teams manage to convince refs to change their mind on icing calls if you're not gonna give Kapanen the win on that race?

I think people need to appreciate that it was only about a month between the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and when Gordon Lightfoot recorded "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

Looks like they took McDavid's assist back.
Which.... It's understandable but unfortunate. That's still a more honest assist than the 2nd assist on a give and go.

That was an absolutely terrible challenge.
He could have made it GI if he made any contact, but he didn't

People love a smart GM making analytics based decision, right up until it ruins a good storyline.

Did anyone ask in the post game what lead to Draisaitl's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? Babcock was yapping before the puck dropped on our PP and the 2nd unit started it, which was weird.
But somehow it was crickets from the colour commentator standing next to the bench.

It feels like the McDavid shorthanded goal deflated them.
It's almost like he scored that goal and they went "ok we got our justice" and the. forgot they had another two thirds of a hockey game to play.

Is there a requirement that one Oilers Dman must always be the Star Fish King? I don't remember Murphy doing this last year.

So why was this not a holding penalty somewhere around 30 seconds before the Nugent-Hopkins holding penalty?
