It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been edited and is ready to massage your ear holes. This week, we’re discussing Johnny Gaudreau’s loss, Leon Draisaitl’s contract extension, and what moves might still come before the season starts.
We started the podcast with a quick tribute to Johnny Gaudreau after the NHL star was tragically killed along with his brother Matthew last weekend as a result of an alleged drunk driving incident. No matter how you look at the story, the details get worse and even sadder the deeper you look.
Changing gears, we got the Oilers talk going with a delicious debate about Leon Draisaitl’s eight-year contract extension and whether or not it’s too much money, as some other fanbases have suggested. As you’ll hear, there is not one person on the podcast who believes Leon Draisaitl is overpaid and actually thinks he could end up as a bargain before the deal is over.
Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that’s happened over the last seven days. Even with all of the news that happened this past week, the boys still managed to yammer on for over an hour about everything in the world of hockey despite it only being late August.
