The Edmonton Oilers have made another significant offseason move, and Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin are here to break it all down on today's episode of Oilersnation Everyday.
The boys kick off the show by discussing the Oilers' new contract extension for Jason Dickinson, which will keep the veteran forward in Edmonton for another five seasons at a cap hit of $4 million per year. On the surface, the cap hit appears to be solid value for a player who has become an important part of the lineup, but is five years too much term for a player entering his age-33 season? Tyler and Liam will share their thoughts on the contract and hear what Oilers fans think about the deal.
From there, it's time for another edition of The First Question, and there is no shortage of topics to cover. Reports continue to suggest that Mike Babcock could officially be named the next head coach of the Edmonton Oilers in the near future, while a contract extension for Connor Murphy is reportedly nearing the finish line as well. What would those moves mean for the Oilers heading into next season? The boys will break down the latest rumours and discuss how Edmonton's roster could be shaping up for another Stanley Cup run.
Later in the show, the conversation shifts to one of the biggest stories from around the NHL as Brady Tkachuk has reportedly been traded to the Florida Panthers. What does the blockbuster move mean for Florida's quest to build another powerhouse, and are we entering a new era of NHL super teams? Tyler and Liam will discuss the fallout from the trade and what it means for the balance of power around the league.
To wrap things up, the boys will hand out their favourite daily betting plays courtesy of bet365.
