  • 565. Oilers Contracts, The Elks Are Rolling, And Waiting For News In The Summer Dead Zone

    01:14:15||Ep. 565
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' troublesome contracts, the Elks' hot run, another round of Ask the Idiots, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about five different stories in Oilers history, and how the boys would rank them in terms of the most consequential stories in franchise history. From Sergei Bobrovsky stealing Game 1 in 2024 to the Griffin Reinhart trade back in 2015 to Zach Hyman getting injured in the middle of a playoff run, this exercise was not necessarily the most fun one to do. Given that there is no Oilers news happening at this point in July, the boys had to get creative with what to talk about for the delicious debate.Shifting gears, the guys continued on with a conversation about the worst contract rankings in the NHKL that were posted by The Athletic last week. For the Oilers, Dom Luczyszyn had both Trent Frederic and Jake Walman listed as the sixth and seventh worst contracts in the league, and the guys gave their take on whether those deals are as bad as they're made out to be.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, discussed the Edmonton Elks' hot run in the CFL, worked through another round of Ask the Idiots questions, and finally, Hot and Cold Performers. While this week's episode followed the same general format, the Friday episode of ONR was all over the map with the lack of Oilers news. Even so, the boys had a lot of fun working through a few hockey stories before having the podcast wind up in the ditch from there.🤝 SPONSORS🙌 Powered by bet365 → http://www.bet365.ca/ (Use code: NATION)🥙 Swiss Donair → https://swissdonair.com/
  • 564. Matt Savoie's next contract, the Oilers schedule, and the Edmonton Elks

    01:08:20||Ep. 564
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' schedule, Matt Savoie extension talk, another goalie conversation, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about some of the recent contracts that were signed around the NHL over the last couple of weeks, and wondered how these deal could impact a potential Matt Savoie extension. While there has yet to be any chatter about an extension, it's hard not to think about what Savoie's next deal looks like. Should the Oilers feel some pressure to get something done, given how the rest of the league is adjusting their pricing?Shifting gears, the guys continued with a look at Colton Dach's new two-year contract, and talked about how it's nice that the Oilers have the cap space to get these things done without having to slide in under the cap by the skin of their teeth. From there, the boys did an Oilers schedule review after the NHL dropped the details yesterday, and broke down what it's going to be like when seven of those games are at 9PM or later. Needless to say, this year's NHL schedule is going to be much different than what we've grown accustomed to. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, discussed the Edmonton Elks' hot start in the CFL, worked through another round of Ask the Idiots questions, and finally, Hot and Cold Performers. While this week's episode followed the same general format, the Friday episode of ONR was all over the map. Even so, the boys had a lot of fun working through a bunch of Oilers stories after what was a very busy start to free agency.🤝 SPONSORS🙌 Powered by bet365 → http://www.bet365.ca/ (Use code: NATION)🥙 Swiss Donair → https://swissdonair.com/

  • 563. The Darnell Nurse trade, Freddie Andersen, and chef Stan Bowman

    01:04:05||Ep. 563
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed NHL free agency, the Darnell Nurse trade, Freddie Andersen, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what was the most surprising move in the early days of free agency. Whether it was the Darnell Nurse trade to San Jose, or Freddie Andersen signing in Edmonton for a scratch ticket, or Ryan Shea coming to town as a potential Nurse replacement, the Oilers got a lot of work done on day one without necessarily breaking the bank. As you'll hear, the boys all had different ideas about what went well and what might have been the best move of all.Shifting gears, the guys continued with the breaking news that dropped before the podcast after the Philadelphia Flyers put a massive offer sheet down on Leo Carlsson from the Anaheim Ducks. If the offer sheet is accepted or not, Carlsson will instantly become the highest paid player in the NHL despite not even hitting a point-per-game last season. The offer sheet also Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, discussed Canada's matchup against Morocco at the World Cup, worked through another round of Ask the Idiots questions, and finally, Hot and Cold Performers.

  • 562. Oilers draft history, Darnell Nurse rumours, and the World Cup

    01:21:49||Ep. 562
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the NHL Draft, the latest Darnell Nurse rumours, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the NHL Draft and which takes we've had over the years that aged the best and worst. Whether it's thinking certain picks were going to be slam dunks, or believing that the Oilers ruined guys who were never going to make it, the boys discussed some of their favourite draft stories either good or bad. As you'll hear, expecting the boys on the podcast to correctly predict the draft or how these players will work out is basically impossible. Shifting gears, the guys continued on with a recap of the latest in the Darnell Nurse rumours, and whether the long-time defenceman will still be with the Oilers through the weekend. While many Oilers fans thought the draft would be a reasonable time to move Nurse, the reality is that this move might take a while to get something done. The guys also discussed whether or not there is a chance that he doesn't get traded at all? They also discussed the Oilers' situation between the crease, and whether it's acceptable or not if the tandem is a Ingram/Jarry tandem again. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, discussed Canada's matchup against South Africa at the World Cup, worked through another round of Ask the Idiots questions, and finally, Hot and Cold Performers. While this week's episode followed the same general format, the Friday episode of ONR was all over the map.

  • 561. The Mike Babcock era begins, and the Oilers get some free agency work done

    46:17||Ep. 561
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Mike Babcock press conference, Jason Dickinson's new deal, Connor Murphy re-signing, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Mike Babcock press conference, and what everyone thought about our first look at the team's newest coach. While everyone was curious how today was going to go, what wasn't overly surprising was that Mike Babcock didn't really answer those questions with any honesty. Whether it was his refusing to admit faults in Columbus or tap-dancing some of the tougher questions, there are still plenty of unanswered questions that will only be solved in time. Shifting gears, the guys continued on with Babcock conversation by wondering what they think is most likely to come next now that the press conference is done. We got some free agents signed this week in Jason Dickinson and Connor Murphy, but with free agency kicking off in just over a week, we're about to find out if having Babcock behind the bench will impact the calibre of player the Oilers might attract. While it was great that Dickinson and Murphy believed in the team enough to extend, that doesn't necessarily mean the same will be true for players who Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, the first edition of Reece's Game, which ended up being tennable, and a quick chat on what to expect from Canada's matchup against Switzerland at the World Cup. If Canada draws or wins, they will punch their ticket through to the round of 32. If they win, they will begin the round at home instead of having to travel abroad. Needless to say, the footy fever is alive and well at Nation HQ. 🤝 SPONSORS🙌 Powered by Bet365 → http://www.bet365.ca/ (Use code: NATION)🥙 Swiss Donair → https://swissdonair.com/

  • 560. NHL opens the door to the Oilers entering the Babcock era

    01:11:38||Ep. 560
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Darnell Nurse trade rumours, where he might end up, the incoming Mike Babcock press conference, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Mike Babcock becoming the Oilers' next head coach, and whether there's anything he can do to win over the Oilers fans who are not at all happy about the decision. Given the Oilers are making this decision not caring about the fanbase's opinion, there's little doubt that the noise surrounding this decision will be incredibly loud. That led the boys to wonder what kinds of questions the media will be asking about the situation and what to expect going forward. Shifting gears, the guys continued on with another round of Darnell Nurse trade talk. The boys had David Pagnotta on Oilersnation Everyday on Friday afternoon, and he pitched a couple of ideas on what a Nurse deal might look like. The options seem to be that the Oilers either hold some salary for a better return, or accept a lesser trade to clear out every dollar. Is there a scenario where Edmonton can actually make a hockey trade? Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and Hot and Cold Performers to wrap up the week. The guys also discussed the Stanley Cup Final, the Hurricanes winning it all, and how the entire office is bought in on the World Cup. While the Nation HQ staff may not know what's going on very often, that hasn't stopped the squad from getting excited anyway. 🤝 SPONSORS🙌 Powered by Bet365 → http://www.bet365.ca/ (Use code: NATION)🥙 Swiss Donair → https://swissdonair.com/🎙️ Subscribe to Oilersnation for daily Oilers coverage, live shows, and exclusive player interviews → https://www.youtube.com/@oilersnation
