Connor McDavid comments on Oilers' offseason acquisitions

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid praised interim GM Jeff Jackson for his work during his short tenure. McDavid commended the management staff for retaining players.

“I thought the whole management staff did a great job. They’ve had a great offseason so far. It’s been short, it’s been hurried, but in the small time they’ve had, they’ve done great things. Keeping as many guys together (as they did) is a good thing,” McDavid said.

Now, the Oilers will try to finally lift the Stanley Cup in the upcoming season after losing to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last season.
