It’s free agency day in the NHL and that means we’re back with a special edition of Oilersnation Radio to recap some of the early signings and give our takes on how the Oilers did on day one.
Kicking off the free agency episode of ONR, we got started with a look at the moves the Oilers made this morning and how it’s pretty damned hilarious that the NHL can’t seem to keep any of these moves under wraps. Seeing as we all knew that Connor Brown was coming to Edmonton, it wasn’t exactly surprising to see the news break shortly after the festivities kicked off at 10 AM MT. One more the Oilers made that did surprise people, however, was seeing former friend, Drake Caggiula, sign back with the organization on a fresh two-year contract. With those three moves on the books, the question became whether or not the Oilers are done? Obviously, we weren’t expecting Ken Holland to get a whole lot done given the lack of cap space to play with, but it’s going to be interesting to see what else happens between now and the start of the regular season. With the Oilers news out of the way, we looked around at what the rest of the league got done and tried to pick our winners and losers from the first day of free agency.
