With Friday being the 7th annual Oilersnation Open, the guys got together to drop this week’s episode of Oilersnation Radio a day early. As always, they kicked things off with their delicious debate, which today was focused on the reports that the Oilers could be looking at the trade market as a way to address the right side of their blueline. Do the guys think Stan Bowman will make a splash before the season starts? Is that even the right move to make? They debated it.
From there, they started talking about some other potential options on the blue line, specifically Tony DeAngelo. Frank Seravalli is reporting that DeAngelo would love to be an Oiler and would be willing to play for cheap. He’s only 28 years old, but he comes with some baggage. The group talked about whether or not he’s a player worth considering to help solidify the blueline. They also talked about the NHL Network’s ranking of the top 20 defensemen in the league, which featured two Oilers!
During Ask The Idiots, they spoke about some big what-if moments from NHL history, the bottom-six pieces they’re most excited to watch next season, and Dan had a question about a personal conundrum he’s facing. They wrapped up the show with their Hot & Cold Performers of the week and made predictions for the Oilersnation Open!
