Oilersnation Radio: Jeff Jackson crushed it as the Oilers’ non-GM general manager

It’s Friday afternoon, meaning a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been edited and ready to massage your ear holes. This week, we’re talking all things free agency, as the Oilers were major players in the NHL’s annual fishing derby.

Kicking off the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio, the boys started the show with a delicious debate about everyone’s favourite move from the first day of free agency. Even though the Oilers didn’t have much cap space to spend, Jeff Jackson was able to do a lot to not only bring back his free agents but also improve the roster.

The guys also offered their grades on all of the moves the Oilers made yesterday. From bringing back Connor Brown, Adam Henrique, and Mattias Janmark as UFAs to landing Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson as UFAs, Edmonton was one of the busier teams in the league on day one, and the fellas were pretty damned excited to talk about it.

The guys wound down the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with some betting talk for bet365, as the sportsbook has already released some future bets for the 2024-25 season. Finally, the boys offered their takes on what the Oilers have left to do in free agency or if they think the team is done until training camp, provided they can clear the necessary cap space. Needless to say, this was the most excited that Oilers fans have been about heading into the summer that anyone can remember.
