I am out in beautiful Montreal, Quebec to cover the NHL Draft for both Oilersnation and Daily Faceoff. Things are relatively quiet right now in terms of actual transaction news, although Mike Grier deserves a massive shoutout for becoming the first ever Black GM in the history of the NHL, but the rumours are flying…
Frank Seravalli’s latest Trade Targets board dropped over at Daily Faceoff and there is a new Oilers asset on the board. Frank already has defenseman Tyson Barrie at #8 on his list and the duo of Kailer Yamamoto and Jesse Puljujarvi at #20 on the list. Now, he’s added the contract of Oscar Klefbom to…
Yes, signing Evander Kane is a big priority for the Edmonton Oilers. But getting the goaltending situation sorted is way more important in my opinion. The Oilers will find ways to produce offence next season regardless of if Kane is in their lineup. But with Mike Smith’s future up in the air and Stuart Skinner…
We are one week away from the first round of the NHL Draft and while things are fairly quiet right now, it will not stay that way for long. Things will get wild and I fully expect that once one big move happens, there will be an avalanche of news that follows.
Jesse Puljujarvi is a hot topic around Edmonton. His advanced analytics are excellent, he’s a solid young player, but his production has been inconsistent and he didn’t have the best playoff run. On top of that, the player and organization have a complicated relationship, and considering he’s a pending restricted free agent, that has led…

A new episode of Oilersnation Radio is here to take you into the weekend! It was a bit of a different vibe today on the show as both Baggedmilk and Rick were away so Cooomzy and Woz stepped up and filled in.
It’s pretty clear what Ken Holland would like to do this summer.
Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland needs to create cap space this summer if he wants to improve this roster. There are a handful of ways that he could do that as well. He could hope that some veteran players retire, he could go the buyout route, or he could make a trade. Realistically, he’ll…
There has been a lot of talk recently about who the Oilers may be losing off their roster from last season. Will Evander Kane be back? Will Mike Smith or Duncan Keith retire? Will Jesse Puljujarvi be traded? Will Brett Kulak be re-signed? Those are all very valid questions and how those situations play out…
Honestly, there is so much going on around the NHL in terms of trade talk, potential coaching hires, and free agent rumblings that I’ve decided to up my rumours blog to twice a week. There will be a lot of Oilers talk in every episode but I’ll make sure to mix in big stories from…
I have a new video series up and running just in time for the Oilers’ offseason! Once or twice a week I will dig into the biggest questions surrounding the team in ‘GIANT Offseason Questions’ brought to you by Sherwood Ford The Giant! This week, I took a look at a topic that I actually…
