The 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Recap

03/08/24 • 78 min

It's NHL Trade Deadline Day, and that means there is a lot to talk about even though the Edmonton Oilers didn't do much.

Kicking off the Friday episode of ONR, we got started with a delicious debate about the trade deadline and, specifically, whether the Oilers did enough to keep up with the rest of the Western Conference. Given that the Golden Knights and Jets made some big adds before the deadline, it's fair to wonder if Adam Henrique, Sam Carrick, and Troy Stecher are enough to put the Oilers over the hump.

We then looked around the NHL at what everyone else got done at the deadline, and we picked some winners and losers from the league's annual swap and shop. From LA not picking up a goaltender to some of the sellers maintaining players that could have brought in assets, there are a handful of teams that had a poor day overall. On the flip side, we also gave some love to Vegas, Carolina, and Nashville for putting in the work and improving their clubs for a stretch drive.

Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we broke down the last handful of days in Oilers land, including a big win over the Boston Bruins and a tough loss to Columbus on Thursday. Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a handful of Ask the Idiots questions, some betting talk for Bet99, and another round of Hot and Cold Performers.

Oilers chasing down the Canucks for first place in the Pacific Division

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is here and ready to massage your eardrums with all of the delicious information you've been hoping for regarding our beloved Edmonton Oilers.

Kicking off this week's podcast, we jumped in with a debate about whether or not the Oilers missed out on the Chris Tanev trade given that the Flames seemingly refused a better offer from Edmonton over what they got from the Dallas Stars. Seeing as the Oilers allegedly offered their first round pick along with Cody Ceci to get Chris Tanev, we discussed whether or not we'd have been happy if that deal went through.

From there, we looked back at what was a successful weekend for the Oilers as they won both of their games and moved themselves into second place in the Pacific Division. Seeing as they were 20 points behind the Golden Knights back on December 20th, it's mind blowing to see how much ground the Oilers have gained in just over two months.

Lastly, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of Can You Clear That Up For Me to help teach Woz about the NHL. We then wrapped up the podcast with another round of Dan's 3v3 game ahead of tonight's matchup with the Bruins. Who drafted the best team of players that played for both clubs? You'll have to listen to find out.

An up and down weekend for the Oilers and learning our capital cities

It's the Tuesday after the NHL trade deadline, and that means we've got a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set and ready to make sense of all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, we're talking about an uneven weekend on the ice, first impressions of Edmonton's new players, and offering our takes on everything else that's going on around the NHL.

Starting off the podcast, we didn't just discuss, but we engaged in a heated debate about the three most formidable threats to the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference. With the West boasting some of the league's strongest teams, the journey to the Stanley Cup will be a fierce battle for the Oilers. We delved into which potential opponents would pose the most daunting challenges to overcome.

Changing gears, we looked back at the Oilers' last couple of games and picked out our favourite elements/players from them. Given that the Oilers were both up and down this past weekend, we all offered very different answers as to who or what was the most impressive aspect of those games. We then played another round of Dan's 3v3 drafting game, and while the rules were initially confusing, we had an absolute blast with this round of the game.

Lastly, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of Can You Clear That Up for Me with Woz before wrapping up the podcast with some score predictions from a light week in the schedule. As always, the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio was a blast to record, and we all of hope you had just as much fun listening to the chaos.
