  • Can Jake Walman boost the Edmonton Oilers defense with his return imminent? | What the data says
    2026/01/13

    Jake Walman’s return could redefine the Edmonton Oilers’ blue line—can his offensive skillset spark a playoff surge? Nick Zararis examines Walman’s unique role as an agile, shoot-first defenseman, exploring how his skating and puck-moving abilities contrast with the NHL’s traditional “punisher” archetypes. The episode unpacks Walman’s metrics, his chemistry (and challenges) alongside Darnell Nurse, and the implications of his seven-year extension for Edmonton’s long-term plans.

    Key insights include how the Oilers optimize roster structure, the impact of Walman’s limited but promising playoff sample, and whether his style can offset Nurse’s volatility and elevate the second pair. With competition heating up in the Western Conference—and the Oilers’ defensive identity in flux—Nick Zararis weighs realistic performance expectations for Walman and considers how lineup adjustments could push Edmonton deeper into the postseason. Will Walman’s return be the catalyst the Oilers need?

    2026/01/12

    Edmonton Oilers face mounting pressure after dropping a shootout thriller to the LA Kings, with Darnell Nurse’s ongoing struggles raising questions about the team’s defensive core. Can the imminent return of Tristan Jarry and a healthy Jake Walman spark a turnaround before the Olympic break, or will Edmonton’s second pair remain a glaring liability?

    Nick Zararis dissects the Oilers’ lineup shakeups, highlighting Evan Bouchard’s emergence as a top NHL defenseman and why Leon Draisaitl’s historic milestones matter for franchise tradition. Key topics include Matthew Savoie’s NHL adaptation, third-line challenges, and upcoming matchups against non-playoff teams. With nine of the next thirteen games presenting winnable opportunities, roster depth, trade rumors, and fatigue from Olympic commitments could define Edmonton’s playoff push. Can the Oilers capitalize and gain separation in the Western Conference standings?

  • Underwhelmed: Andrew Mangiapane struggles in the middle six | Why it hasn't worked in Edmonton
    2026/01/08

    Edmonton Oilers’ gamble on Andrew Mangiapane falls flat as middle-six scoring woes continue. Can the Oilers salvage value from their $3.6 million free agent, or is this another costly roster misfire?

    Nick Zararis scrutinizes Mangiapane's NHL journey—from his overage OHL dominance, to a breakout season on Calgary’s high-powered Backlund-Coleman line, and his abrupt drop-off in foot speed and finishing since joining Edmonton. Key talking points include the anatomy of Mangiapane's 30-goal “career year” with the Flames, the impact of line synergy and quality of competition, and why the Oilers’ current bottom six remains slow and underwhelming despite offseason upgrades. With the lineup struggling to generate balanced offense, the episode raises urgent questions about roster construction and the future role of players like Mangiapane and Trent Frederic.

  • ELITE: How Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl DRIVE Edmonton Oilers’ Power Play to New Heights
    2026/01/06

    Edmonton Oilers' historic power play keeps playoff hopes alive—but can they compensate for even-strength struggles? Nick Zararis explains why Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman are dominating the man advantage, breaking down how their tactics, elite passing, and compressed alignments are outpacing NHL rivals. Discover how Evan Bouchard’s emergence as a premier puck-mover and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ consistency have propelled Edmonton to the league’s top power play conversion rate.

    Nick Zararis examines the evolution of NHL power play strategy, the Oilers’ ongoing challenges with depth scoring, and why their reliance on special teams exposes weaknesses at 5-on-5. With Chris Knobloch searching for lineup solutions and depth forwards like Adam Henrique, Trent Frederic, and Matthew Savoie struggling to find the net, Edmonton’s formula for success hangs in the balance. Can the Oilers' power play continue saving their season—or is a bigger change needed?
