Better Lait Than Never Ep. 30 – Oilers draft predictions with Jason Gregor

It’s NHL Draft week and that means the rumours are flying around the Internet at a feverish pace, which gave us all kinds of things to talk about on today’s episode of Better Lait Than Never.

To kick things off, I jumped in with a quick thank you to all of you for helping me raise money for the Edmonton Humane Society with my line of #FranksPicks gear over the 2021-22 NHL season. Originally, I wasn’t sure if anyone would want to buy clothes with pictures of my dog on them, but as the campaign went along, the support that came in was incredible. Getting back to the Oilers, there was no shortage of topics to cover as the team is in the mix on all kinds of players and speculation. The question I have, however, is whether the Oilers will actually be active or if this is another one of those years where the hype will outshine what actually happens during the draft. From there, I welcomed Jason Gregor to the podcast to give a few updates from Montreal and offered his takes on what the Oilers might be looking to do over these next couple of weeks. Will we see the Puljujarvi trade so many of us are expecting? What about Claude Giroux after his name was tied to the Oilers earlier this week? Lastly, I wrapped up this week’s podcast with another round of voicemails after I asked for your bold predictions for what Ken Holland will be able to accomplish during the silly season.
