Trade DUD-Line Day
I have no idea why anyone makes a big day out of Trade Deadline Day any longer. Everyone was making a big deal about how the Nazem Kadri trade from Calgary to Colorado was a "blockbuster", yet all I did was shrug my shoulders because Colorado added a third-line centerman. Yes, Kadri likely could play higher up in the lineup, but Colorado's lineup doesn't need him in the top-six forward group. For as much as TSN, Sportsnet, and the NHL Network make Trade Deadline Day a thing, it's not. And it s...
Oilers Prospect Update: Why Colton Dach isn’t an unassuming acquisition
While the Edmonton Oilers swung two trades ahead of last Friday’s NHL trade deadline, with Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson being the “big-name additions,” Colton Dach has seemingly slid under the radar.

Pagnotta: Oilers discussed ‘possibility’ of moving Darnell Nurse at trade deadline
The Edmonton Oilers made two trades the week of the trade deadline, but there was another big piece to their core that general manager Stan Bowman allegedly discussed moving. That player is Darnell Nurse, according to The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta. He published a column Sunday night discussing what trades did and didn’t happen across the…
Today In NHL History - Jason Spezza's Illegal Stick
On March 9th in 2009, Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson called for a measurement of Jason Spezza's stick, down one goal with two minutes to play. Suspecting something was afoot, the Senator snapped his stick and headed for the bench. Referee Stephane Auger followed the forward and confiscated the contraband. Making no secret of shaving his blades, as described in this interview one year
Today In NHL History - Backstrom's Own Goal
On March 9th in 2008, Washington Capitals rookie center Nicklas Backstrom had the misfortune of scoring an extremely untimely own goal against goaltender Cristobal Huet, breaking a deadlocked game to give their archrival Pittsburgh Penguins a 3-2 lead with 28 seconds to play. Adding insult to injury, the blunder was credited to Ovechkin's nemesis-in-chief, notorious Washington Capitals killer
Vasily Podkolzin and the trade that keeps on giving
The Edmonton Oilers acquired Vasily Podkolzin on Aug. 18, 2024, from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2025 (114th overall). The Oilers actually re-acquired the pick from Vancouver when the Oilers traded Evander Kane to Vancouver on Day 2 of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. To date, the trade has worked…

With that in mind, in this edition of Oilers Thoughts, we chat about a couple of…

The Day After 64.0: Oilers rebound with gutsy road win over Golden Knights
The Oilers followed up one of their worst losses of the season with a much stronger effort on Sunday, grinding out a 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Vegas. After a scoreless first period, Edmonton opened the scoring three minutes into the second when Trent Frederic shoveled in his fourth goal of the season….
Connor Ingram solid, Oilers’ depth scoring powers win, and Connor Murphy steady on the blue line
With the Oilers staying quiet on deadline day, we got our first look at what the mostly formed team will look like on Friday against the Hurricanes. Unfortunately, that game did not go our way.

NHL weekend rankings: The Caps, the Oilers, and a deadline of swings and misses

It had some decent names, and at least one surprise that we’ll get to down below. It also had plenty of names that we were told to watch out for that didn’t end up going anywhere. If you missed it over the week, you can get caught up here: Trade grades for all the big deals , the classic winners and losers , and grades for each team . In theory, a dead...
