Oilersnation Radio: The 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Recap

It’s NHL Trade Deadline Day, and that means there is a lot to talk about even though the Edmonton Oilers didn’t do much.

Kicking off the Friday episode of ONR, we got started with a delicious debate about the trade deadline and, specifically, whether the Oilers did enough to keep up with the rest of the Western Conference. Given that the Golden Knights and Jets made some big adds before the deadline, it’s fair to wonder if Adam Henrique, Sam Carrick, and Troy Stecher are enough to put the Oilers over the hump.

We then looked around the NHL at what everyone else got done at the deadline, and we picked some winners and losers from the league’s annual swap and shop. From LA not picking up a goaltender to some of the sellers maintaining players that could have brought in assets, there are a handful of teams that had a poor day overall. On the flip side, we also gave some love to Vegas, Carolina, and Nashville for putting in the work and improving their clubs for a stretch drive.

Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we broke down the last handful of days in Oilers land, including a big win over the Boston Bruins and a tough loss to Columbus on Thursday. Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a handful of Ask the Idiots questions, some betting talk for Bet99, and another round of Hot and Cold Performers.
