Morning, folks.
The Edmonton Oilers open their main training camp today, with medicals and fitness testing on the docket. The camp invite list spans 6 goaltenders, 16 defenders and 32 forwards, for a grand total of 54 players.
The club open their preseason account on September 16 against the Winnipeg Jets.
If the verbiage from both the club and Connor McDavid himself is to be believed, don’t expect to see much of The Captain in September. In his absence, who would you like to see Leon Draisaitl play with?
