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 the Oilers' roster at training camp, line combos, and much more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which forwards could be on the outside looking in when the pre-season wraps in just under two weeks. Whether it's David Tomasek, Curtis Lazar, or Mattias Janmark, there aren't actually that many names to choose from when it comes to the tweeners. As you'll hear, the boys don't necessarily know who will be the odd man out, but what's clear is that everyone was thinking the same thing.

Changing gears, the guys looked at the Vasily Podkolzin contract extension and whether it was a bold bet for the Oilers to make on a player who had eight goals. While the $2.95 million AAV may have been surprising to some parts of the fanbase, given that he showed limited offence in his first campaign in Edmonton. Is there more offence there? Is he just what he is? With four years left in Edmonton, including this final year of his current deal, we have a lot of time to find out.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With only weeks left to wait until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s what happens before training camps kick off.
