The NHL Free Agency period opened up earlier today and the Edmonton Oilers made some moves. The biggest one was signing Connor Brown from the Washington Capitals for $775K, plus performance bonuses, on a one-year deal. On top of that, the Oilers signed Lane Pederson from the Vancouver Canucks and brought back Drake Caggiula.
Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will be back together live in the Sports Closet studio to break down what has happened so far. What did you make of the deals Ken Holland pulled off this morning? Join Tyler and Liam live over on the Oilernation YouTube and leave your thoughts on today’s transitions in the live chat.
Of course, there were plenty of other signings that happened around the NHL. Ryan O’Reilly is now with the Nashville Predators, Blake Wheeler is heading to the Big Apple for less than a million for one year, and Radko Gudas got the bag with the Anaheim Ducks. Tyler and Liam will discuss those three deals along with everything else that went down on day one of free agency.
Viewers can catch Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin on Oilersnation Everyday on the Oilersnation YouTube Channel. You can also view the show on Twitter and Facebook. After the show has streamed live, you can find it on all your podcast providers.
