Connor McDavid watch, Oilers back in town, and games on the schedule

Better Lait Than Never

It's another Wednesday in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another non-event news week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed the Oilers being back in town, the latest on Connor McDavid's contract, Dylan Holloway speaking after a year with the Blues, and whatever else has happened over the last seven days.

With the Oilers players arriving in Edmonton for the captain's skates, it's hard not to get excited about the upcoming season and what our new and old friends will be able to do to avenge a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final loss. Yet, even with the hope of a new season upon us, the only thing anyone around here wants to talk about is whether or not Connor McDavid will sign an extension before the season starts. What started as close to a certainty as you could get has now been clouded with doubt after a run of insiders have suggested No. 97 could start the season without a new deal in place. Obviously, that situation would not be ideal, but if you listen to Jeff Jackson's side of the story, a lot of this noise is much ado about nothing.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about turn signals before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive with nonsense again this week, and as always, the messages were as fun as they were all over the map. The voicemail is always a fun way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
