Deutsche Eishockey Liga

Right now, the focus is entirely on the 2026 to '27 campaign.

The NHL is pushing international games, and the German League is unhappy because it conflicts with their schedules, but that doesn't change Edmonton's immediate priorities.

[chime] So ignore the future, focus on the present.

What about the power play? With the new rule changes mentioned in the headlines, are the Oilers adapting their setup?

You know, you kind of go through that where you get frustrated and, you know, it obviously didn't go our way.

And nice to kind of use that card in an exhibition game where, you know, there's kind of no harm done, but an opportunity to learn, watch a lot of video on it and kind of see the standard of a really good Dell team.

One of the things, I says, I'll come to you.

And it's one of the things as well from this game was, you know, even when Red Bull did take the, when Munich took the lead, the Giants still got those chances.

If Blades can shut it down in front of him, it'll be a hard team to play against.

I bet it's hard to find another goalie that's come straight from the Dell, straight into...

the elite league from like again normally there's either a stop somewhere else and then come over even with um even getting with sisu again only 20 years old you look at some of the posts of the yokerit fans and they're like how much talent he's got to give but i think them going up to the masters has opened up an opportunity for him to come over, Kevin said in his Q&A that he signed back in May.

So, again, it's been on the cards for a good while and it's a great bit of business.

And with this team, I was very surprised when I looked back at 19 retained players.

So devil's ask here, but a lot though in two ways.

So start the Brits got Connolly, Theo Malone, Josh Crawley, Noah Carolinan, Tyler Della Batouche or DLB with Ray Francis and Bradley Jenyon.

There's a couple of Americans in there, former Blazeman, J.D. Dudek.
