Hello, Oilersnation! My name is Arun Srinivasan, and I’m the managing editor at The Leafs Nation.

The dust has settled on Friday’s trades that saw the Edmonton Oilers flip Stuart Skinner in a package to acquire Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins, and a third-round pick head to the Nashville Predators for defenceman Spencer Stastney.

Scenes From Morning Skate: Jarry and Stastney to make Oilers debut against Maple Leafs
Tristan Jarry and Spencer Stastney will make their Edmonton Oilers debut tonight in Toronto and there’s a small belief that sometimes all it takes is a fresh start. Whether that belief is justified remains to be seen. Jarry is 9-3-1 in 14 games this season with a 2.66 GAA and .909 save percentage. Those are…
A Little Laurent History
If you mention Laurent Brossoit's name in Winnipeg, there are a lot of people who will tell you they wish he was still here. It's not a shot at Eric Comrie nor is it anyone saying that they want an upgrade in between the pipes, but it's a genuine appreciation for what Brossoit did while he was a member of the Jets. He often found wins for the Jets despite sitting for long spells while Connor Hellebuyck did his thing, but every time someone spoke of his contributions to the team it came with ho...

V̅DCCI On A Big Day
I found this Stuart Skinner facial expression funny and appropriate today for a number of reasons. I'll get to the reason for the title in a second, but the biggest reason was because the man making the facial expression was traded in what was being described as a "blockbuster" trade by pundits hours before an actual blockbuster trade happened. Perhaps we should stop throwing around hyperbole? At this point, everyone is asking why this trade was made, but I think we need to look deeper than th...
Brett Kulak deserves his flowers for his time with the Oilers
On Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers traded Brett Kulak in a package to land Tristan Jarry. It’s certainly a bittersweet trade. As frustrating as Stuart Skinner was at times, he was still an incredibly likable player who was great at his best, as well as durable. Kulak was a cap casualty and replaced by a…

Canucks trade Quinn Hughes to Wild in conference shaking move
The Quinn Hughes era in Vancouver is over, and just getting started in Minnesota. The Canucks traded to the Midwest Wild on Friday night in a deal that has shaken the Western Conference landscape. Hughes’ name hasn’t been out as a trade option for long, though the Canucks’ league-wide memo last month about being open…
Flashback Friday: The Stuart Skinner trade is reminiscent of the Devan Dubnyk trade
This isn’t the first time the Edmonton Oilers have given up on a 27-year-old goaltender. On Friday morning, the Oilers sent Stuart Skinner (along with Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick) to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin. In my eyes, this is a lateral move in terms of skill, with…
Friedman: Oilers ‘poked around’ Sabres goaltender Alex Lyon ahead of Jarry trade
Tristan Jarry wasn’t the only goalie the Edmonton Oilers were interested in. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman’s 32 Thoughts blog, posted Thursday night before the Jarry acquisition Friday morning, general manager Stan Bowman was looking at one of the Buffalo Sabres netminders — Alex Lyon. “In addition to Tristan Jarry, I believe the Oilers poked…

There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and the Kris Knoblauch line blender. And boy, was it out in full force early on this season. As the early parts of the Edmonton Oilers’ season slogged on, amid a myriad of injuries, it seemed as though every game brought a new lineup. It was exhausting…
Analyzing the Oilers’ goalie trade and a scouting report on Spencer Stastney
Stuart Skinner spent eight seasons in the Edmonton Oilers organization. He was thrust into the starting role in the 2022-23 season after only playing 14 games as a backup in 2021 and 2022. Heck, he played six playoff games in 2022 with only 14 regular season games under his belt. He did it in hometown…
Bowman: Backup Calvin Pickard ‘will remain with the team’ after Skinner-Jarry trade
As the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins swapped goaltenders on Friday morning, questions loomed over the status of current Oilers backup Calvin Pickard. Tristan Jarry enters Edmonton as the team’s new starting goaltender, acquired for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2nd round pick in 2029.
