Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCO.cast. My name is Dimitra

Filipovic and joining me is my good buddy Daniel and Nuchampum Bowman. Daniel, what's going on, man?

Just a nice winter day here in Edmonton, so I can't complain. It's nice to talk to it, Metri.

Yeah, yeah. It's great to have you on, finally able to coordinate having you on the show for the first time after numerous botched attempts, mostly on my end and just scheduling conflicts.

And we're going to do some Eric Carlson wishcasting here.

So sign me up for this conversation.

Sounds great.

I want to just like unpack everything with you, like fully investigate, like,

the reasons why the oilers should be in on this or potentially shouldn't. Logistics, how feasible

it is, all of that. I know that once the initial report came out over the weekend, you were

quick to douse it with cold water. And I'm kind of curious to to get into that with you and hopefully

sure over the next 50 minutes i'm going to be able to lure you over to the dark side and really

get you to be on my side of this the conversation so let's get right into what do you think is the

most kind of interesting component of this, like from the Oilers

perspective in terms of the consideration or in terms of like what we should be thinking

about when we're considering the topic?

Yeah.

You know, Dimitri, it's funny because, you know, all these names that I've been hearing

all year, you know, Gavrakoff and Edmondson and to the lesser extent, Jacob Tricker,

and I think we'll probably get into him later.

I know the Oilers, you know, have had some interest, but really he's not a guy that they're,
