The Stanley Cup finals are finally done, the rumours are starting to roll in, and that means we’ve got plenty to talk about on this week’s episode of Oilersnation Radio.
To kick off the Friday episode of ONR, we started with a look at two of the rumours that the Oilers have been linked to this past week and whether we think Travis Konecny or Brett Pesce would be a better fit. Obviously, the idea of bringing in either guy would be a win for the Oilers, but in this land of make-believe, we wanted to give our take on who we’d prefer if given the choice. From there, we spent a couple of minutes talking about Derek Ryan’s new deal and how it was surprising to see some Oilers fans were upset by what seems like a low-risk contract. Changing gears entirely, the podcast took a left turn when the news broke that the Canucks would be buying out Oliver Ekman-Larsson, leaving dead cap space on their books for the next eight seasons. Lastly, we wrapped up the podcast with another edition of Word Association, Ask the Idiots, and Hot and Cold Performers before wrapping things up and heading off into the sunset.
