Tyler, Liam, Rick and Dan sat down for a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio. The group had some fresh news to talk about as well as on Tuesday, the Oilers acquired Ike Howard from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Sam O’Reilly.

They discussed their initial reactions to the deal, where The 2025 Hobey Baker award winner was the top player could fit in the lineup next season, and which centre he could fit best next to. They also talked about the mini youth movement that could be happening next season in Edmonton and what the expectations should be for young players like Howard and Matt Savoie.

From there, they talked about whether or not they think Oilers GM Stan Bowman is done for the summer. There are rumblings that they still might be looking to upgrade their goaltending tandem. They also touched on the recent rumours that Darnell Nurse was asked to waive his no-movement clause but refused. Nurse himself threw cold water on it, but the guys still talked about the idea that he could be traded at some point.

To wrap up the pod, they hit on the Calder Trophy odds and a few over/unders for some players who are joining new teams next season on Bet365. They also gave out their hot performers for the week which included the Blue Jays, a viral fight involving a former NHLer, the new CBA, and the zoo.

It’s been a slow week for the Edmonton Oilers, despite the start of free agency. The club signed a couple of players — Andrew Mangiapane and Curtis Lazar — but has yet to address goaltending or make any changes on the blue-line. Has general manager Stan Bowman done enough, or is the team still missing a few pieces to truly compete? The guys kick things off with the Delicious Debate, brought to you by Odd Company.

Despite the lack of big-name additions, reports linked the Oilers to college standout Isaac Howard. A former first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Howard has reportedly declined to sign with the Bolts. Edmonton is rumoured to have made a trade offer for his rights, but it wasn’t enough. Should the Oilers continue to pursue Howard, and would he actually move the needle?

Later in the episode, the guys discuss potential goaltending options, how the roster might shape up next season, and whether Evan Bouchard deserves a spot on Team Canada. The show wraps up with Ask the Idiots and the Hot and Cold Performers segment.
