Oilers didn't go all-in analytics this summer, but there is some Nerdvana evidence. www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...

If the Oilers do sign Brandon Saad, the club will use him differently than the Blues this season. Fairly heavy workload for Saad vs elites, didn't go especially well (it went horribly).
McDavid gets some rest courtesy NHL Player Safety. The league doesn't call the rule book, so the captain slaps back and we are here. nytimes.com/athletic/607...

This fell to the ground on my walk yesterday. Bob Stauffer announced Brandon Sutter's PTO yesterday. I assume today brings an Evan Bouchard signing and a Ceci-for-Petry trade now that everyone is back to work.
