Yeah it's a good signing, did great in his first year in Bakersfield.

It was frustrating the lack of attention the Oilers brass gave to the Gerry Fleming led Barons/Condors, he made the playoffs the year he took over Todd Nelson but then missed 3 years in a row. There was a step backwards in any player development down there. What the hell was Chiarelli and Nicholson doing during that time? Was that Mac T's job? Imagine if there was even a prospect or two in that time that could have came up during McDavid's first 3 seasons.

We've finally seen some strides taken with the farm team, Benson, Marody, Gambardella, Jones. I think Woodcroft deserves some credit for that. Maybe a year of JP under Woodcroft could help elevate him.

Let's be clear here, Craig MacTavish only had anything to do with the successful versions of the minor team. Any points, even within a given season, where the team was underperforming were unrelated to Craig's amazing work. Why else do you think he was offered that sweet Russian gig?



You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
