The Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman has had a good tenure so far in Oil Country. He has made a few savvy trades to shore up the team's depth now and for the future, while adding some low risk high reward free agent signings. In terms of getting pertinent business done, like the Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard contract extensions, he has done well there too.
There is still one cloud hanging above the heads of the Oilers front office staff — the contract of franchise cornerstone — Connor McDavid. He is due for an extension that kicks in next season but will hopefully be done soon, according to the latest rumors.
