In advance of this afternoons Penguins-Oilers matinee puck drop at PPG Paints Arena, we sat down with Jeff Chapman, managing editor of Copper and Blue, the Edmonton affiliate here on SB Nation. I threw a few questions his way to get his general thoughts on the Oilers right now to give a little perspective into the team the Penguins will be facing today.
Mike: Sum up the James Neal trade in a few sentences. Obviously you have to be feeling good about it so far.
Getting anything of substance for Milan Lucic’s unproductive NMC was quite a coup for the Oilers.
