In tonight’s video I react and discuss the Edmonton Oilers trading a 2025 OR 2026 first-round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers to select Forward Sam O’Reilly at the NHL Entry Draft in Las Vegas. This is kind of a confusing move as I am not high on O’Reilly or tying up TWO draft picks to select him. What are your thoughts on this trade Oil Country? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below! 🧡💙 #nhl #oilers

Jeff Jackson just as bad as Holland jesus.
Now sign Kane and stamkos
The condition while we don't know yet is likely a 2025 unless we trade it in which case it becomes a 2026.
Dosnt seem like a smart move am i wrong ?
A 32 from Philly to Edmonton for a first pick in 2025-2026 is basically close to the same pick for 2024 if Edmonton continues their success.
I don’t mind this deal as much as I thought. By trade deadline next season we will know what pick/overall it will be because it’s top 12 protected it’s very likely we lose next years pick, we can trade Sam at the deadline and the oilers took a bet that he would exceed the value he was drafted at. Teams also get a guy a year into development which is also a factor.
I have absolutely no idea about young draftpicks like this but maybe it was both Holland and Jackson combined that influenced eachother on weird decisions? If so, let's hope the new GM will do things his own way. As I said though I've no idea but I trust Austin
Sam O'Reilly is being compared to ROR and that is really good!
Final central ranking at 24, Button had him at 32. Comparable: Philip Daneault. Intelligent two-way 3C, potential PK specialist. This doesn't seem like a typical Oilers pick, hence I think it's great.
The Oilers must have believed strongly in Sam O'Reilly. Maybe they pulled out a plum.
wtf sam is dope, and they clearly believe and think he is good enough. you trippin
London is a factory the same way Ohio state & lsu are for WRs in the nfl. They just don’t miss. They for decades and decades have continued to produce players that are stone cold pros. Next to identical numbers to that of Easton Cowan last year who has now blossomed into one of the most coveted prospects outside of the nhl. He will likely be givin that same opportunity assuming Cowan graduates to the nhl. The last 10 Stanley cup champions have had a London knight on their roster. Sam oreilly for a first is going to look like a genius move this time next year
As a London Knights season ticket holder and a die hard Oilers fan, I am very pleased with this pick 😁
I am a London Knights fan and season ticket holder. Toronto thought Cowan was a stretch last year and he was the OHL – CHL MVP this year. The Hunters mold talent. Defence produces Offence. Something a lot of players are missing is everyone needs to be responsible defensively. Look what Dale did with the Capitals in half a year. Returned to the Knights for many reasons including family and the passion to help the young players reach their goals. Remember Bouchard and Corey Perry are Knights.
imagine they bought out Nurse?🎉
I think it is a bad trade for the oilers. They could have gotten their player in the second round. Why trade a first round pick for him
I think it's a weird move because the oilers have needs and we're kinda in a win now mode… So trading one of our future 1st rounders is odd considering we could've used them to get a player to help us win now
