Welcome back to another episode of Oilersnation Everyday. Join Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin live at noon on the Oilersnation YouTube channel. You can interact with them in the Greta Bar YEG YouTube live chat throughout the program.
First up, we discuss what to expect from the Edmonton Oilers newest forward Vasily Podkolzin in the upcoming season. After a roller-coaster start to his NHL career, can the young Russian forward take the next big step? Can he be the replacement for Dylan Holloway? Tyler and Liam break down the potential impact the former 10th overall pick can have in his third season.
Next, we turn our attention to one of the league’s most controversial and gritty players, Corey Perry. We’ll be giving him a player grade for both the regular season and the playoffs. Did Perry live up to expectations, or did he fall short? We’ll analyze his performance on the ice and his overall contribution to his team.
Finally, we’re excited to bring you a comprehensive preview of the Metropolitan Division with special guest Anthony DiMarco. The Metro is stacked with talent this season, and we’ll be discussing which teams are poised to dominate, which ones might surprise us, and who could struggle to keep up. From the high-flying Carolina Hurricanes to the always-dangerous Pittsburgh Penguins, Anthony shares his insights and predictions on how the division will shape up.
