Camp starting up. Couple pieces of arguably sad news to start :(


Jason Gregor @JasonGregor
Ekholm has a hip flexor. Won’t start camp.


Jason Gregor @JasonGregor
Skinner worked with Dustin Schwartz and Tristan Jarry this off-season.

Says he feels more comfortable entering this year as he knows what to expect after playing a full NHL season.

Feels he is still growing as a player and looks forward to leaning more. #Oilers


Gagner had hip surgery and isn't expected to play any pre-season games. Likely to just start in Bakersfield, so I guess he's just a mentor guy now.
