Holland has confirmed the team isn't going anywhere. They really like them in Bako. Great atmosphere, 7000 fans a night, and becoming very knowledgable fans, and the players enjoy the city.

Holland likes his California breaks during the winter.
It seems like a pretty passionate fanbase down there, I agree with keeping them there.

Yup, no need to move the team. Seems like a good fanbase there. I think Stockton didn’t fill the stands

Took a peak at this to see if there were any updates to RFAs/UFAs. What caught me a lil by surprise was seeing Petrov listed on the roster. @belair, not sure I’ve seen any indication where he’d play next year, know you spoke a bit about him going back for another year and staggering contracts.

Really strange that Petrov is listed there and Borgault isn’t.

Probably because Bourgault is still actively playing. Petrov's team has been eliminated.
It would surprise me to see Edmonton rush Petrov. He's in a prime position next season to be an offensive driver on a competitive roster next season. Potential favorite in the conference.

Couldn't they run multiple games in one day? Not sure what it would do to the ice for game two, but having your AHL team and WHL team playing on the weekend same day shouldn't be much of an issue.
The issue really that happens is your attendance could potentially start dropping for your WHL brand, but I'm sure Calgary weighed that against the convenience of having their AHL team in the same building.
Makes you wonder if they'd even have the dressing room area in that arena for three clubs. I'd assume each team would want to have their own

There are 5 dressing rooms in Rogers Place. More than enough to bring the Condors if ownership and management want to. The video below is timestamped:

For Edmonton I'm not worried, more talking about Calgary as the Saddledome is just about 40 years old.

Sorry State
So still newer than the last Leafs Cup win.

Ludicrous speed, GO!
I think if they had more seating at the community arena, they could have likely ran the 3 teams out of Rodgers. But if all 3 teams need to use the main rink + all the concerts and events, there would be too much.
Plus arena management would also especially hate it if it needs to keep dates free in the spring, where it could either have 3 teams playing or none, and miss out of a ton of revenue due to having the building sitting empty.

Signed in Europe as did Ostap Safin, so I assume NHL dream is somewhat done.
RFA Profile: Filip Berglund and Ostap Safin have signed in Europe, decisions remain for Tyler Benson and Brendan Perlini
Though there's talk that Kailer Yamamoto or Jesse Puljujarvi could be...

I think those hip injuries back in 2018/2019 killed Safin's career.

Between him, Maksimov and Benson, they have really let us down as prospects.

Anyone remember all the hype around Benson to start the year? All this, "he looks great, he has a spot on the opening night roster" stuff.
I thought Borg looked significantly better in training camp this year. I cant blame the Oilers for giving him a legit shot this year but he is just one of the prospects that outside of one really good year in the AHL has really disappointed.
Terrible pick at the time and even worse right at this moment.

Both interesting situations too.
While Berglund only gave NA one year he is 25, so the writing is a bit on the wall for him.
Safin while only 23 has been in NA for 5 years and isn't exactly showing too much at this point. For him maybe he goes back for a few years and then thinks about coming back. But for now he probably just wants to get back to his family

Next season is going to be so fun!
Who will have the smoothest transition to the AHL?
Matvei Petrov, Tyler Tullio, Carter Savoie, Xavier Bourgault, or Noah Philp? Tullio signed an AHL PTO but didn't get into a game, whereas Savoie and Philp only got to get into 2 and 3 games respectively at the end of the season.
Between Fanti and Rodrigue, who gets into the most games?
Which defenseman is the next player to make the Oilers full time?
Berglund went back to Europe. Kemp is known to be strong in his own end, Kesselring is more of a mobile two-way defenseman, and Desharnais earned an NHL contract after showing substantial improvement (posting a +36 +/- and 2nd most in points of all our D with 27 points in 66 games).
Neimaleinen opened a lot of eyes during his time with Edmonton, delivering crushing hits nightly. Samorukov on the other hand had a poor audition, but otherwise seemed to show improvement in the AHL. Am I correct in assuming that Broberg already has his name on the opening night roster?
Do any players make the Oilers out of camp? Holloway had a respectable AHL debut while driving play. Bourgault put up a great draft +1, is playing well in the playoffs & memorial cup, and will potentially play in the WJC if he chooses - he'll be the most 'fresh'. Samorukov is no longer waiver exempt, but you have to imagine Desharnais and Neimelainen get a long look at camp.

Pretty sure Petrov is CHL or NHL as he was drafted out of the chl and won’t be old enough for ahl duty, so it won’t be him

Petrov was not actually drafted out of the CHL. He had never played in NA before being drafted. But he was drafted in the CHL prior to being drafted by the Oilers and that makes him ineligible for the AHL next year I believe.
