We’re only a few days away from the NHL trade deadline, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. In today’s podcast, the guys discussed the Trent Frederic trade, Evander Kane’s cap situation, secret no-move clauses, trade deadline plans, and much more.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Trent Frederic trade that happened early Tuesday morning, and whether the Oilers overpaid for the trade. We also discussed how everyone thinks this move affects the Oilers’ trade plans going into the deadline, and if we think it signals some bigger moves from Bowman going forward. No matter how you look at the trade, the Oilers ultimately got one of the more notable rental targets, and that’s something we haven’t had around here too often over the years.
Changing gears, we looked back at Saturday’s win over the Carolina Hurricanes and how it was incredibly important for the Oilers to snap their losing streak. From Calvin Pickard shutting the door between the pipes to Corey Perry coming up with another clutch goal to secure the win, it was a gritty victory that the team desperately needed. We also discussed the revelation that Viktor Arvidsson and Adam Henrique both have no-move clauses on their contract, which prompted the ire of Oilers fans given that some of the talk around potentially moving on from some of our struggling forwards.
Looking ahead at the trade deadline, we discussed the news from this week that Evander Kane is looking to return before the end of the regular season, which would seriously impact the team’s chance of making additional deals. As you’ll hear, everyone on the podcast is irritated with that situation because it seems like such an easy plan to keep him out until the playoffs. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode with some betting talk and another round of Keys to Victory ahead of tonight’s matchup between the Oilers and Ducks.

The effect is that he better learn how to play goalie
Following typical Oilers pattern, fire the coach? But all jokes aside we need a high impact goon like Rempe, someone who will hit the ice after liberties have been taken on Connor or Leon and make it hurt.
Tyler Liam You guys are very knowledgeable on your hockey. Maybe a coincidence on Trent Frederic trade or maybe oilers staff are listening to a younger generation mind set. Tyler you nailed it🤟
Wanner was dealing with ailments all season, he’s a shutdown defenseman who has bottom pair potential in 1-3 years, he was a movable piece.
Great comp on the budget Tom Wilson 👍
