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 bubble players, winning jobs at camp, PTOs, and much more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' roster and whether any players who played last year could find themselves on the bubble. While many slots on the roster are likely written in ink, we looked at the fourth line and wondered if either of Mattias Janmark or Kasperi Kapanen could get beat out for a job. With plenty of competition fighting for those jobs, it's fair to ask if any of the veterans are at risk of losing a spot.

Changing gears, the guys walked through the little Oilers news that's happened over the last week, including some minor league signings in Bakersfield, Connor McDavid's extension, and Andrew Mangiapane's new baby. And while there isn't much happening right now, that didn't stop the boys from yammering on about these limited items anyway. Even so, the big news everyone is waiting for is when Connor McDavid will sign his extension, and even though it's taking longer than we may hope, there's still no need to be concerned about having No. 97 back.

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 just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about an array of topics that were Oilers-related or not at all, but that’s what happens in August.

It was a mixed crew on Oilersnation Radio today, with three of the regular five taking a break ahead of the weekend. Cam and Kennedy joined Liam and Rick to break down everything that’s happened with the Oilers over the past week — which, admittedly, hasn’t been much.

The show kicked off with a discussion about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ legacy. Heading into the season, Nugent-Hopkins is on pace to play his 1,000th game as an Oiler. He also has a chance to finish top five in franchise history for points and could become the first player to start and finish his entire career in Edmonton. The question was posed: how should Nugent-Hopkins’ legacy be defined?

Over the weekend, three Oilers tied the knot, including star forward Leon Draisaitl. Kennedy recapped all the details from the South of France, including who was — and wasn’t — in attendance. The crew also discussed the “friendmoon” Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are currently enjoying with their wives, and how that might factor into McDavid’s future in Edmonton.

The episode wrapped up with another round of Ask the Idiots, followed by the Hot and Cold Performers of the week.

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 Western Conference contenders, goaltending, the Jays' run, and much more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which new Oiler the fellas are most excited to watch during the 2025-26 season. From Andrew Mangiapane signing as a free agent to Matt Savoie and Isaac Howard being two blue-chip prospects with plenty of upside, the guys were bullish on some of the new guys being able to contribute in a meaningful way. Of course, we are in the middle of Kool-Aid szn, so expecting anything less from the crew would be unwise at this stage of the summer.

Changing gears, we looked at some of the extension rumours that came out last week. Bob Stauffer hinted on his show that there could be a run of contract extensions happening before the end of the month, and that hope for news had the fanbase buzzing. Sticking with contract extensions, we then looked at a report from Frank Seravalli where he guesses what Connor McDavid's extension will look like for value and term.
