It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ troublesome contracts, the Elks’ hot run, another round of Ask the Idiots, line combinations, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about five different stories in Oilers history, and how the boys would rank them in terms of the most consequential stories in franchise history. From Sergei Bobrovsky stealing Game 1 in 2024 to the Griffin Reinhart trade back in 2015 to Zach Hyman getting injured in the middle of a playoff run, this exercise was not necessarily the most fun one to do. Given that there is no Oilers news happening at this point in July, the boys had to get creative with what to talk about for the delicious debate.

Shifting gears, the guys continued on with a conversation about the worst contract rankings in the NHKL that were posted by The Athletic last week. For the Oilers, Dom Luczyszyn had both Trent Frederic and Jake Walman listed as the sixth and seventh worst contracts in the league, and the guys gave their take on whether those deals are as bad as they’re made out to be.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, discussed the Edmonton Elks’ hot run in the CFL, worked through another round of Ask the Idiots questions, and finally, Hot and Cold Performers. While this week’s episode followed the same general format, the Friday episode of ONR was all over the map with the lack of Oilers news. Even so, the boys had a lot of fun working through a few hockey stories before having the podcast wind up in the ditch from there.
