Mark Spector let it slip on his Sportsnet Column today that the Oilers are currently out of the running to sign Jonathan Toews. That’s bad news for the Edmonton Oilers, who have appeared to have the spot held open for Toews.

Mentioned it elsewhere but "Classic" can also mean "Old". Older players "can" loose their speed, agility, and stamina a lot easier. I wish Jonathan Toews nothing but the best but I'd really rather have a player with speed, agility, and stamina. He's slowed down a lot over a few years. Take care all.
The last thing we need is Jonathan Toews. He would cause troubles for McDavid Captaining the team and we don't need a battle for leadership on the team. Leave him alone. He was involved in the scandal with the sexual assault of his team mate and chose not to support his team mate but rather chose to leave him behind and chase the cup instead. We don't need that kind of leader on the Oilers. We need leadership that is chasing the cup but also protecting his players.
Not necessary a bad thing. It only means he is too expensive!!
thank god he’s washed up and sick af. also adding washed up vets who have already won cups rarely works.
Are the Oilers gonna sign anyone who actually played last year?
Chasing names instead of future performance is a recipe for disaster.
Seriously though… The Oilers could never afford Towes. He's never been a real option.
It would only be bad news if we signed him!
