We’re back to two episodes of Oilersnation Radio per week, and we’re kicking off the regular season schedule with our annual predictions episode to go over how we think the next six months will play out.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR by reviewing the news since Friday’s episode. We started with Raphael Lavoie being claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights, who then put him back on waivers 24 hours later. This unique situation actually allows Edmonton to bring Lavoie back, provided that no one lower in the priority list also puts in a claim. The boys also walked through the salary cap implications of these moves, even though no one understood what was happening.

Looking ahead at the 2024-25 season, the boys offered their boldest predictions for the upcoming campaign, and there’s little doubt everyone is drinking the Kool-Aid. From predicting McDavid’s point production to team totals to Stuart Skinner’s workload between the pipes, the boys were all over the map with their numbers. For the most part, the guys were all on the same page with most of their predictions, which made the disagreements all the more enjoyable.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a round of betting talk ahead of tomorrow’s season opener against the Jets. Given that the season is opening up at Rogers Place, the fellas are excited to put a couple of nickels down in the hopes of making a few dollars to kick off the year.
