Better Lait Than Never

Looking back on Evander Kane's time with the Oilers and what's to come


Listen Later

It's the Wednesday leading into the NHL draft and start of free agency, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another busy week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed the Evander Kane trade to the Canucks, wondered what the Viktor Arvidsson deal will ultimately look like, the Oilers' brass meeting with Connor McDavid's agent, and much more.


While I think a lot of Oilers fans thought the team would trade Evander Kane to save some cap space this summer, I don't think many of us expected it to happen this soon, especially not to a division rival like the Vancouver Canucks. Yet, despite the seeming unlikelihood of the deal, Kane announced the trade via his Twitter account shortly after the NHL insiders started to hear rumblings that it was happening. Despite being a solid player, the Oilers desperately needed the cap space the move created, while the sentiment in Vancouver wasn't quite as optimistic.ย 


Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about plane etiquette before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quieter this week, but the messages were still all over the map. As always, the voicemails are always a fun way to wrap up the show and give everyone an opportunity to say their piece. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
