Who gets the Oilers new A?

[Magnum23]

With Lucic gone a new A opens up.

Who do you guys think will get it?

I can see Drai getting it but I think Klefbom deserves it as well.....

Drai

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He already leads strongly, imo, so it's not a choice, it's Draisaitl.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Write-in vote, but I'll go with Gagner.

Has been through the highs and lows with this team, and has never shied away giving emotions spark, but has generally always been positive in how he acts towards the game and his teammates.

 

[Kolja]

What we learnt from Looch, not everyone thrives with responsibility. Hence the person must be willing to asume the responsibility. However, if Drai is from a far the most suited.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

i Feel easy answer should be draisaitl

 

[Cypress]

Why do we need to have three again? Already have Nuge and Larsson, right?

 

[oXo Cube]

James Neal.

But seriously it will and should be 29.

 

[Magnum23]

Fun fact Neal wore the A in Vegas and had a letter in Calgary as well.

Also think Gagner is not a bad choice but don't his his play on the ice can justify it.

I wonder if Larsson will still be an A. With Chia and T- Mac gone Tippet and Holland might change things up

 

[TheRebuild]

I feel like there's too many "A's" just scrap it entirely, why the F do you need three people with A's on their chest. It just imposes an unnecessary hierarchy that could - in part - be responsible for why looker room problems seem to creep up in this organization so often. Stop patting people on the back for doing dick all and go out and get in the damn playoffs for a f***ing change.

 

[McDNicks17]

Mike Smith.

 

[LaGu]

RNH, Drai, Larsson

To me makes most sense.
From most accounts RNH, Larsson are great locker room guys, so no need to change there (unless they want to). Drai is the obvious choice and even if an A wouldn't be leaving I still think he would have been starting next season with an A.

 

[KlefDown]

Our most experienced dman. Klefbom

I agree but if they think that they need 3 then I would add Nurse.

 

[Fmrnuckfan95]

Give it to Klef

 

[BlackDogg]

Not really an option, but Kevin Lowe should get the honorary A.

 

[elmeroil]

Koskinen

 

[LaGu]

I agree but if they think that they need 3 then I would add Nurse.

Why not Draisaitl?
You'd put Nurse as an A above Drai? I mean I love Nurse's attitude, but Drai is another level of good and unless he is a real ****, which I doubt, I can't see him not getting it. He carries the load of this team like no other not named McDavid.

 

[DakrSnooze]

I voted Nurse. Seems like a solid leader on the team.

 

[TheBoss97]

Bouchard

Drai this season is most likely going to be playing with Connor. I dont think it makes sense to have an A and the C on the ice 90% of the time.

This isnt about disrespecting a player for me...its about representation.

 

[CornKicker]

Bouchard

100% the grizzled vet and father of everyone else should wear the A

 

[The Nuge]

Just give Larsson the A full time
