Hasn't it felt like an eternity since the Oilers last played a meaningful game? I know the last one is a tough one to remember — I don't like thinking about it — but the good news is that tonight's matchup against the Canucks offers a clean slate.To kick off this week's podcast, I jumped in with some personal news after your boy had what can only be described as a fantastic start to the week.

A fresh Oilers contract for Ryan McLeod means a fresh reaction episode of Better Lait Than Never to break it all down.Now that Ryan McLeod has officially signed his new contract, I figured that I would fire up the ol' home studio and bang out a quick reaction episode of Better Lait Than Never to make sense of what's happened here. I mean, I don't think anyone can argue that McLeod's deal is incredibly team friendly and that he should be applauded for accepting less, but having this deal done means

Two emergency episodes of Better Lait Than Never in the same day? Oh yeah, it's happening.When the Oilers traded Zack Kassian to the Coyotes last night, I felt pretty good about the way Ken Holland was able to clear some cap space for the summer given that he has plenty of items on his offseason to-do list. I thought that having those extra $3.2 million dollars would go a long way to achieving some of our goals and re-signing players that needed new contracts, but what I didn't expect was that
