Edmonton Oilers training camp doesn’t begin until Thursday, September 22nd, yet many veterans have been in Edmonton skating together since the start of September. Today, Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman joined the group that already consisted of Leon Draisaitl, Jack Campbell and others. The fact McDavid and Draisaitl are in town and on the ice for informal skates this early is a good thing, in my eyes. McDavid averaged 2.06 points per game in 16 games scoring 10-23-33, while Draisaitl averaged exactly two points/game scoring 7-23-32 in 16 games. Draisaitl scored 32 points despite suffering a high ankle sprain in game six of the opening round against LA.
