What did you think about the Oilers trade for Isaac Howard? Who is the best fit for Howard to play with? Is there any update on a potential Connor McDavid extension? How are fans reacting to the Oilers not upgrading their goaltending? TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

Oh jeez I guess Drai would have to settle for Savoie instead of Howard. Darn!
Howard will be better then Mcdavid imo
Excellent fit and great pickup for Edmonton!! Excited to get things rolling
Good for the Oilers.
It’s odd that he wouldn’t sign with TBL.
Didn’t Caguila win this ? He didn’t pan out.
Where are his eyebrows? face for radio
97 a Leaf
Didn’t deserve that award. Regardless still pretty good player
He’s coming to Toronto
Yes Skinner has been inconsistent but now with a new goalie coach coming in, could make a difference. Everyone is talking about getting a new goalie yet Skinner and Pickard took them to the SCF two years in a row. And how did the top three vezina candidates do in Bucky, Kuemper and Vasilevskiy do? Oh right, bounced out the playoffs in the first and second round. Skinner will have a good year this year with a new coach coming in so let's hope this is the year for the oil.
How is it the Oilers are in a situation where they need a college kid to step up and play with the best player in the world. The Oilers incompetence and mismanagement.
Oilers still stubborn and not gonna get a goalie eh??? Hope they lose a third final. Teach them something
He is Hobey Baked
Great acquisition by the Oilers ! Lightning organization dropped the ball on this one.
I guess state taxes don't matter after all.
This isn’t a goal tender
Savoie is a better fit with Draisaitl and Howard with Mcdavid. Savoie will go to the harder areas, Howard is more of a perimeter shooter which will drive Draisaitl crazy.
I mean he is super talented, but all first round picks are. It's a lottery ticket with any prospect. Tampa has a history of being tough negotiators the first contract and the last contract of a guys career. Look at Stamkos.
Overated. Winning a hobey baker award at 21 years old means nothing. Lighting know, sell high
Slowly but surely, they are actually trying to gear up for another run. This kid and Mangiapane are good pickups. Letting Perry the " Cooler" go, probably smart as well. He's bad luck in finals even if he plays well.
Sam O'Reilly is a stud, Tampa Bay made a great trade to counter Florida.
Rishaug should never be referred to edmonton's bureau chief, the guy literally knows nothing about hockey haha
Absolute fleece for Edmonton, he’s a serious contender for the Calder next year book it.
Oreillys ceiling is 3 and more likely 4th line centre with little offense, bowman absolutely hit a home run on this one. He also got out of Jackson’s screw ups from last year without losing anything.
