Tony Brar and Bob Stauffer discuss Connor McDavid and the fresh complexion of the Edmonton Oilers as the team prepares to open their season in October at Rogers Place.
Connor McDavid is leaving Edmonton now n if you weren't worried before he is leaving n that is very true it is just not a rumor anymore Connor McDavid is very mad now n nobody can change his mind ever the Oilers should just let him go
Looking at teams and cap space, McDavid would fit into the Vegas roster really well next year. Taxes much different for players in the US. Someone said something in his ear this summer.
Man I hate to say it, but do we trade him before the deadline to get some value out of him?? If he doesn't sign anything soon, it's likely the only option… I wouldn't risk losing his value over the chance we get a cup… Tough decisions to be made, and Connor holds all the cards.
People get so lost thinking he's the only option to win a cup, when other teams have been doing it since he was in the league. Love him as a player; I would not be strong-armed into losing his value.
The Oilers management just want to keep Connor McDavid because he is the best in the NHL n nobody not even Leon Draisytyl or his ex wife Lauren can ever change Connors mind he is his own boss the Oilers should just let him go already he doesn't want to resign with Edmonton he wants to leave Edmonton asap just let him go it's really Connor McDavid choice
There's one main reason why mcdavid hasn't signed and that's skinner still in the starter's position in net. Get rid of skinner. He's only here cause he's the hometown kid playing for his hometown kid. He's still at best an ahl starter in any of the other 31 teams
If he is smart, he moves on. He can get all the money he wants anywhere. The Oilers had two chances to win it all and couldn't. If he stays, no more than a one or two-year contract.
No worries he will sign mid july, no worries he will sign mid August, no worries he will sign sept 3 like Drai, no worries he will sign right before the opener, no worries he will sign by the deadline, no worries he will sign July 1
Katz is the problem….and it's about money. If 8×20 was on the table, it would be done. It isn't. For 4 years, it's probably 18.5. Katz spends to the cap now, but will he in 3 years when it's 113$mil? He screwed up the Holloway/Broberg situation last year…is he going to screw this up too?
The fact there has been this much doubt in his quotes makes it clear to me that he’s gone and bob, as much as I love him, was told to do damage control from OEG exects. Gaudreau(RIP) and Tavares had eerily similar quotes. Hopefully McDavid has as much of a spine as tkachuk who atleast had the balls to tell Calgary he wasn’t coming back and got them a very good deal in return..
Put McDavid on the trading block and see what you can get for him before its too late… Next thing you know he's leaving next summer for nothing, it shouldn't take this long too re-sign its a straight forward negotiation with a blank cheque in front of his face so why is it taking so long for him to put his name on it?

Omg Bob looks like he lost 40 pounds in the offseason, looking good Bob keep it up
Losing McDavid is not an option. Pay him and surround him with players that will be getting them to the promised land!

McDavid isnt the only one who wants to win the Cup – for Draisaitl its the same 🎉
Please , Jesus, make Edmonton your base, even if the weatherb is not quite like in heaven
Bob is a class act

Just deal him and get a good returh im over McDavid honestly
He is not signing with the Oilers………one need not be a genius to understand what he is saying.
If he is smart, he moves on. He can get all the money he wants anywhere. The Oilers had two chances to win it all and couldn't. If he stays, no more than a one or two-year contract.
Can someone please tell me why Connor won't want to test free agency as the best player in the world at the prime of his career?
No worries he will sign mid july, no worries he will sign mid August, no worries he will sign sept 3 like Drai, no worries he will sign right before the opener, no worries he will sign by the deadline, no worries he will sign July 1
back to back finals is nice, but its mostly because of McDavid…wherever he plays will have a shot
2 decades of not having a good goalie. It's WILD to see. Clearly Mcdavid wants a top tier goalie.
I dont think ive ever seen Tony in anything other than a suit. Lookin good bro 💪💪
thank god bob is back he’s the best
Tony looks really worried in the thumbnail
Connor should tell Kate's to kick Jeff Jackson out. Complete debacle last summer cost Oilers the cup.

I wouldn't be surprised if McDavid doesn't feel like he's worth as much as he could be because of the way he performed last season.
McDavid if you do not want to sign with the oilers get out now .
"All options are on the table. That would mean length of term. Short term. Long term. No term."
What a quote.
gawd that beard makes that guy look dirty yeeeesh

Try nurse on the wing
Love getting up to date with Big Chungus
you guys are gonna run him out of town the way you keep pestering him
Can he take a 'pay cut' and the fans crowdfund to support him? 😂
For me let him go If he dont Trust the Team – Sound Like Kindergarten – give him the time – he ist no child anymore .
Bye Bye McD!!!
