We don’t need to discuss the options open to the Oilers when it comes to Alex Chiasson. Tyler Yaremchuk did that earlier this week. I’m going to take a look at who the Oilers might have to end up working with if they decide the trade route is the best way to go for Chiasson….
Sorry to be a buzz the kill the morning after a win over the first place Islanders, but let’s be honest: it was a win that left the Oilers second last in the Western Conference and still six points out of a playoff spot. Anyone who talks about being this team being in the mix…
Oilers interim General Manager Keith Gretzky has started to clean up the mess created by Peter Chiarelli and, to be fair, everyone else still employed by the team including Gretzky himself. He’s done a decent job so far moving Spooner and Talbot for two warm bodies but the expectations have been set so low that…
To quote the legendary Bob Cole. Everything. Is. Happening. From a content perspective, the Edmonton Oilers are the gift that keeps on giving. It’s been a busy 48 hours the organization, here’s my best attempt at breaking it all down.

A number of names have popped up in the early stages of the Oilers search for their next General Manager. One of the names I find intriguing for a couple of different reasons is former Oiler Bill Guerin. There are a lot of questions one can ask when it comes to the former power forward….
Peter Chiarelli has come and gone. Peter Chiarelli has done his damage. Peter Chiarelli has left this organization in a very difficult position. What if Peter Chiarelli never existed? What if Bob Nicholson came out in 2015 and said the following: “We are not going to hire a General Manager and we are not going…
The Battle of Alberta always matters but right now it REALLY MATTERS. We’ve got the Flames fighting for top spot in the division while the Oilers are engaged in a heated battle for a playoff birth. This weekends Battle of Alberta will feature a lot of star power on both sides of the puck surrounded…
As Peter Chiarelli and his staff continue their full-court press I’ve decided to take a look at the top 20 pieces in play and if they would be a fit in Edmonton. I’m going to whip through the most recent edition of the TSN Trade Bait Board. There are three Oilers assets on the board….
