You know, the Edmonton Oilers just lost 5-2 against the Canucks in one of their last games of the preseason. Sure, it’s preseason. It means nothing, I say. It’s just a meaningless win as we get ready for the season.
However, if there was a glaring blackhole of everything good for the Oilers, that blackhole that exists on the back end and wears number 86.
It’s time for Peter Chiarelli to make a MacT bold move and get Nikita Nikitin far away from the Edmonton Oilers. It does not matter how.
