Holland opens 2921-22 training camp.

Holland says there is one player who is a vaccine hold-out. Some rumours previously that Mike Smith wasn't vaccinated still this summer, so I wonder if it is him...

Apparently whoever the guy is, he'll need to quarantine every time he's crossing the border. In the US, he won't be able to leave the hotel room, and in Canada he'll miss games whenever the team comes back.

Holland says that he won't make it mandatory to be vaccinated - which to me suggests it's someone significant to the roster.


Kinda funny if it's Smith. All our young players get it, and our elderly players are the ones that resisted. That's not supposed to happen!


Some people on twitter saying that Josh Archibald has been posting conspiracy theories online this summer...sooooo, maybe he's the guy?

I'm a little disappointed in the Oilers for not drawing a hard line here. Apparently the player would stand to miss ~30 games due to quarantine requirements. I can't think we'll be able to LTIR him for any of that too, so we're just using up 40% of that guy's cap space to have him sit out games?

Holland was just on OilersNow and he mentioned he talked to Archibald about vaccines so that pretty much spells out who the one guy on the Oilers who's not vaccinated is.

Holland also said, its down to single digits as to players who aren't. Sounds like Archibald, Tyler Bertuzzi has said he won't so he will just skip all games in Canada. I am STUNNED the last few hold outs would potentially risk their careers over this. You have to think that maybe the Oilers are holding out hope Archibald will change his mind once he gets to camp and probably has his teammates askign him about it. But if he doesn't, this guy could be screwing himself out of millions of lost wages in the future. Not to mention he is literally segregating himself from the team because vaccinated players have WAY more freedom compared to unvaccinated.

Totally mind boggling to me.


Also, you're more likely to catch and to spread the disease if you're unvaccinated, so there is a risk to the team having a guy like Archibald on the roster.

I'd be laying it out for Archibald that if he doesn't get vaccinated, he's not welcome and we'll somehow come up with someone else to score empty net goals.
