The real trick is to make a list of players FROM Edmonton and area that would willingly play in Edmonton without making a fuss about it.

Honestly, if it was me, I'm a hardcore Oilers fan and it would be a absolute dream come true to don that sweater. This area produces more NHL players per capita than any other area in Canada. Why are we having such a hard time icing an actual NHL roster that can compete every night?

*throws negativity blanket over thread*

Sorry, rant over.

I've heard Bowmeester was not an Oilers fan by numerous people in town.

Johnny Boychuk was a fan.

Vernon Fiddler is from Edmonton but not sure if he was a fan.

I think jay was a big yzerman fan and supported the red vings.
Dan was definitely a big Oilers fan.
