“We’ve still got a long ways to go,” he said, before adding the group is progressing in all kinds of ways. “We’re building a culture here in Edmonton, and it kind of translates from year to year. “It’s the same core guys each and every year that are setting the tempo, setting the pace and kind of leading the way.”McDavid said he was happy to see the club ensure key players were brought back ahead of the 2022-23 season and that he has been impressed with the hard work and positive attitude displayed by the team’s new goaltender Jack Campbell.“Just an amazing guy,” he said. “He’s a guy that you can cheer for to do well.
“ shortest summer I’ve had so far, which is obviously a good thing,” he said, adding the ultimate goal is to bring the Stanley Cup back to Edmonton. “The buzz around the room is excitement and eager to get going again.“We’re as deep as I’ve ever been a part of… want to keep growing as a group.”Best Edmonton Oilers playoff run in 16 years has fans believing team will only get better – Jun 7, 2022
