Better Lait Than Never: Oilers start life without Leon Draisaitl
It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers‘ trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of…
If and when do the Oilers re-sign Connor Ingram?
Connor Ingram is 4-0-1 in his last six starts, with a .898 save percentage and a 2.50 goals-against average for the Edmonton Oilers. In the last five games, his five-on-five save percentage is 15th best in the NHL. Those are average numbers, you might say. Said with different intonation: Hey, those are average numbers! I’m…

The 2026 trade deadline has come and gone. In total, the Edmonton Oilers traded three roster players in two separate trades.

Oilers European free agent targets: Could Alexander Smolin deepen Edmonton’s goaltending ranks?
With leagues around the world either in the midst of, or gearing up for, playoff season, attention naturally begins to shift toward notable free agents. While additions from the European free-agent market don’t always pan out, as we saw with the Edmonton Oilers’ recent experiment with David Tomášek, it remains a low-cost, relatively low-risk avenue…
The Day After 69.0: Strong third period, depth scoring lead Oilers past desperate Sharks

NHL Cap Court: Do William Nylander or Adrian Kempe have bad contracts? Does anyone?
It’s been a while since we’ve broken out the Cap Court gimmick. The idea here is that we pick five players and try to figure out if they have bad contract from a team perspective. Too much money, too much term, that sort of thing. We make the case for and against, and find a few comparables to help us. Then we deliver a verdict. Nice and simple.

Despite beating the Predators on Sunday night, the big story from the evening was Leon Draisaitl leaving the game after a hit along the boards, which clearly left more damage than we might have initially anticipated. On Tuesday, the Oilers announced the former MVP would miss the remainder of the season with a lower-body injury….
