Luke Gazdic was the first guest on today’s show. He first, gave a shoutout to the Oilers fans and how unreal they were during this run. Touched on why the Oilers couldn’t get the job done against the Panthers, shared his thoughts on Frederic getting a potential 8-year deal. We then spent some time conversating about Evander Kane and whether or not he’ll be an Oiler next season and what’s going on with the LTIR. We finished with his thoughts on Stuart Skinner and his future…
What are your thoughts? Do you think a 8-year contract extension with Trent Frederic would be a good move for the Oilers? Drop a comment down below as we read every single one! #oilers #nhl #edmontonoilers #edmontonsports #yeg #yeghockey #yegsports #edmonton #evanderkane #nhltrades #nhltraderumors

If they run STU again then we know this team is cooked again without a doubt . even already spending that much on freddy who did shit for us great pick up .
Fire the goalie coach for F sake!!!!!!!!!
Second goal was all on mcdavid. Complete disaster in his own end
Our time will come. Every champion has its day.
Frederick, Hyman, Ekholm, Nuge injured
Arviddson, Skinner, Kane Goalie Skinner go. Pickard fif backup
P-S ITS. OK can accept that
we lost to a better team its not our time yet
I wish i could corageaphy our 3rd + 4th lines
Bye McDavid
Yeah, penalize the Oilers for the LTIR. Then give back the 2nd for Chia Pete, the 3rd for McClellen, and don't even get me started on how 19 goals is 20 goals…
I love how people like to jump on Kane. It really shows their true colors (pun intended). First of all, they told him to pretend to be injured so they could circumvent the cap so essentially Kane was a freebie in the playoffs. So Kane needed to get up to speed in the playoffs with no training camp. And he played great in Dallas and Vegas. He had a terrible finals and all of the sudden the closet white bedsheets people come for his head.
Why was Frederick playing if he was still injured to that extent. He was useless in the playoffs and should have been in the sky suite instead of keeping the bench warm. And who cares if he really wants to play here, this is a business about winning hockey games and Cups, just like McDavid said today. Get the best players you can, not the worst. Signing a bottom six 4th line player to a long term contract will be telling #97 in all bold capital letters that the Oilers are moving away from winning.
marchment got moved. Kane is gonna be able to move.
Disappointed to see Luke to show his racist colors against Kane. The whole Kane “says all the right things BUT he rubs me the wrong way” says all you need to know about the kind of person Luke is. Funny how people gave Connor Brown the benefit of the doubt when he came back from major injury last year but when it comes to Kane who came back from major injury this year and didn’t play all year and guys like Luke puts judgement on Kane for having one bad round. Shame on you Luke. Glad Big Buff laid you out
One sided series … worse than previous year
Keep Kane….it is his contract year next year.
His level of play, skill wise, is going to be high.
If the oilers get john gibson! You might as well trade mcdavid out of edmonton! Cause they aint winning
Keep both! Love Kaner! He bested in 3 rounds.
It's Awesome that Frederick wants to be here
Besides the LTIR issue. Ekblad 20 game suspension allowed Florida to go pick up Marchand and Jones. Again another manipulation of the system.
With Gazdic's comment about his theory about why Bobrovsky didn't win the Conn Smythe, I know the reason. It's pure Russia-phobia by western media. I have experienced it myself, being born in Edmonton, but moving my family to Russia a couple of years ago, to escape what appeared to be declining moral standards and quality of life in canada due to the government that was in place, and their policies or replacing Canadians with migrants along with implementing DEI policies. As well, I was being criminally charged for participating in the trucker convoy protests in 2022, and decided to flee the country rather than be politically persecuted by an unhinged, biased court system.
wonder what his take is on the conn smythe, not politically correct. lol Bennett in no way should have got it over Bobber.
go get Silvos from the canuck camp, he'd be easy to grab.
Signing guys like Nurse and Freddy for twice their worth and as long as possible is part of the reason the oilers wont win and McDavid leaves.
Oilers are worse than the Leafs who gave the Panthers a battle. Toronto was 1 goal away from putting the Panthers in an elimination situation down 3 games to 0. Brad Marchand got that OT winning goal in game 3 and the comeback erupted. Panthers are the number 1 best champions ,Oilers are overrated .
oilers to woke, Carney like and were too old, slow and weak to win. Conner is not a warrior
Everything sucked about the Oilers in the final. PK, PP, top 4 dmen, top dogs, bottom 6, goaltending. Just not good enough, not even close. Oilers need to get rid of Kane, Stu, Nurse, Ekholm, Janitor, Arvy
Swayman might be available.
McDavid: I wanna win
Bowman: Best I can do is another year of Kane and 8 years of Frederic
Mrs. McDavid: Just one more Edmonton winter
Lendeskog? How many seasons was he out? Not ready to play on day 382 but ready to play day 383?
I don't think Kane will be too hard to move. There is only one year left on his deal, and there will be a team who will need depth on the left side.
Luke is a moron
Although Stew is part of the problem, he is still young. Like all the young goalies that we have lost patience on in the past (ie. Dubnik and Talbot), they seem to turn to all-stars soon after they leave. I have a feeling the same thing is going to happen to Stew. Consistent goalies are few and far between. Usually they are bad, become amazing for a couple of years and go back to bad. I will lose my poop if we overpay and lock in a has been goalie long term and then watch stew become a Vezina candidate. Be careful what you wish for. My suggestion is we keep stew as a backup and find a reasonable starter.
They need to get rid of Skinner & Kane they both cost them games! Henrique, Arvidson, Brown all had a lack of effort!
CARTER HART!!
