Oilers Coach Todd McLellan Lays Out Plans For Lineup
Below is the interview that Bob Stauffer conducted with Oilers coach Todd McLellan. I would’ve never known that it had taken place had David Staples not done up an article on it. It was there where I found the link. I guess it wasn’t an official Oilers Now! interview, so it wasn’t up on their podcasts, it was simply available on 630 CHED’s site.
Anyways, take a listen as Stauffer goes over some of this summer’s most debated topics:
Where Draisaitl will play.
Where Nuge will play.
Will Jokinen and Puljujarvi be linemates?
Who’ll replace Sekera as Russell’s d-partner?
McLellan’s thoughts on Talbot playing another 73 games.
Will Kailer Yamamoto be given a couple of games?
McLellan’s thoughts on Milan Lucic.
There’s more of course but I thought I’d highlight those for you as they’re the topics I’m most curious about.
In the video clip below there are no highlights or anything, just random pictures as the interview goes on, I hope that’s cool. If not, let me know in the comments section and if you can do me a HUGE favor and subscribe to the channel, I’d really appreciate it as it lets me know that I’m doing a half-decent job of bringing a little bit of quality to your day.

Happy Canada Day everyone! Hopefully this post won't be too late for some of the signings! Last season the big UFA signings for the Oilers were those of Jussi Jokinen and Yohann Auvitu. If it weren't for the MEGA RFA re-signings last season, the shat ton of AHL signings, and…
Happy draft week folks! The rumors are a flyin', aren't they? By the time the Oilers are playing their first game over in Europe they'll be rid of Cam Talbot, Milan Lucic, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Andrej Sekera, Oscar Klefbom, and Jesse Puljujarvi but at least they'll have a random guy in…
STAUFFER ON PULJUJARVI Well it's simple for Puljujarvi, if he doesn't gain some traction at some point, he may be finding himself having a new address. What happened to the Blake Wheeler comparison Bob? Is Puljujarvi not "popping" quick enough? I thought it was a "take it slow" approach with…
I'm the Beer League Hero! I am from Camrose, Alberta but I make my home in Taipei City, Taiwan. I've been through the ups and downs and the highs and the Lowes, the Bonsignores and the McDavids, the Sathers and the Eakins but I'll never leave my Oilers, no matter what!
They're with me until the end and then some. GO OILERS GO!
