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 Darnell Nurse’s trade request, where he might end up, the Mike Babcock situation, line combinations, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Darnell Nurse carries more risk than some fans are acknowledging. Given the minutes he plays and his constant availability, it’s worth having a discussion about whether or not moving on from the player will create a bigger hole than some people think. While there’s no debate that the contract has become an issue, there is still a strong hockey player there that the team will likely be without when the next season rolls around.

Shifting gears, the guys continued on with the Darnell Nurse conversation with a look at what trading him might even look like. His contract is obviously a massive part of the story when it comes to moving him, but that shouldn’t suggest that Nurse carries zero value on the trade market. But what kind of trade should Oilers fans even expect? From there, the boys spoke about the never-ending coaching drama that’s raging on after news broke earlier in the week that the team is interested in Mike Babcock.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and Hot and Colder Performers to wrap up the week. The guys also discussed the Stanley Cup Final, and how the Carolina Hurricanes have a chance to close things out in Game 6 on Sunday night. They also discussed the NBA Final, and how the Knicks comeback wins have been wild to watch. Speaking of wild to watch, seeing Knicks fans beating up Spurs fans just for wearing team merch ranks right up there for being nuts.
