Luke Gazdic joined us at the top of the second hour. He gave his initial thoughts on the Evander Kane trade. What does Gaz think the Oilers will do next? How will the Oilers address the goaltending? Should the Oilers resign Connor Brown and will the Oilers be able to afford Evan Bouchard? He answered all those questions and finished with his thoughts on Collin Murray-Boyles reaction to being drafted by the Raptors…

Just watch Kane go to Van and have a great season being fully healthy. The Oiler way)
If the Oil start off next season with Skinner between the pipe – Myself wont watch !!
4:34 Sounds like what Kings management says about the Oilers
How does not having Kane make the oilers better? Cap space is used up already so it’s a net negative
I honk the oilers should wait and see what happens in the Carter hart trial…I think he would be good coming in on a trial basis with skinner and Picard!
The Oilers would have sweetened with a 3rd round pick for this Kane deal if Holland was still the GM. Holland is a sucker, grade C- GM for the Oilers. Good luck LA Kings
Don't think please
Bouch is trash, shoots more than any oiler, and cant handle fla , so pay him max $, what a joke.
Dumb Dumb Luke says he’s learned a lot from being on TV after saying Edm should keep goal and D the same and don’t change anything, great take
We love you in Edmonton, Luke. I hope you keep advancing in the broadcast world. You're good at it. Don't be afraid to seem yet more confident when you're on camera. It won't look out of place. Cheers
Ive got time for Skinner, the dude is 26 still so young for a goalie. It was supposed to be Campbells net for a bit with skinner backing but then thing went south and Skinner was thrown into the starting position WAY to early. He has gained crazy experience and taken us to 2 finals. If there is a better goalie with playoff experience I say get him but you keep Stu.
Luke is such a panther hater. Good, we like it that way.
I like Luke, but silly take
A player whos finally healthy on a contract year wouldve served the oilers well
Trade Bouch, his numbers are massively over inflated because of his deployment (PP or point with McDraisatl) and HE CANT PLAY D…
"Everything should be to beat The Panthers" so lets be easier to play against and place us against the cap with a soft offensive D in Bouch
Evander Kane is and will always be a better player than Luke Gazdic ever dreamt. The Oilers will never win the Stanley Cup with McWimp , Crysaitl, Bouchard and Nurse. Millions down the toilet 🚽
Luuuuuuuuuke 💪🏾
funny how optimistic EDM media is so optimistic. Kane is tougher, hits way more often and way harder, scores way moer than Frederic.. who is bottom6.. but excited to give Frederic 3.8 of of Kane's 5.1m.. just gain 1.3m in Cap – but get a bottom6 who has very poor scoring finish. EDM needs to improve its scoring/shooting accuracy !!!
Oilers were unlucky there wasn't an upset in the east to play a weaker team in the finals. Like how LA played nj and nyr or how vegas got flo on their first run
Shedding a motivated, healthy Kane, gor who Mangiopanne? Lol
Both Oilers goalies are sieves
Massive mistake letting Holloway leave
Nurse is 🗑️
There is NO way that Bouch is better than Walman and Ekholm. Period. Pooing blank. So 10 Mil when Wal has around 4 and Ekholm is around 7. Give me a break! He was making soooo many poor passes and lazy defending until the playoffs and then he was awesome.
Brown at $4 million, Frederic at $4 million? These would be absolutely horrible deals. Bouchard doesn't deserve $11 million. They should sign him for $8m x 4. By then Nurse is gone and Bouchard can prove himself more and then re-sign a big contract when the cap is much higher.
$17-22 million for Nurse and Bouchard is a recipe for failure. Add in $8 million for two bottom-6 forwards, who scored a combined 6G and 13P in the playoffs and a total of 21G in the season. These two players won't make the the team better. $6 million for both is reasonable.
It’s stuns me beyond understanding that anybody thinks Bouchard is a quality defenseman. He is a contradiction in that term. He does not have any defensive IQ whatsoever and his notoriety comes from all of his points. But if you look at his point production, it’s pretty basic. Get the puck give it to Connor get the puck give it to Connor.The best thing that that Team could ever do is sign him and get rid of him as fast as possible. Does anybody actually even watch the games or do they just look at the points? Ridiculous
As a non Edmonton fan I don't see the Bouchard need. Dude is gonna cost a fortune and doesn't give a monkeys defending which doesn't help your goalies at all. I would let him go and get in some actual D.
For those trashing Oilers defence, the Athletic has the Oil D ranked first in the NHL going into next season. Now that may change with the draft or free agency but that isn’t terrible spot to be in. Yes the Bouche Blunders are extremely frustrating as they seem to end in the net; but teams listen and dive into analytics and Bouchard’s are quite high. Which is why he’ll get paid. Now if another team offersheets him to way more than the Oilers we’re gonna pay, see ya; that money can be spent elsewhere.
How is Kane leaving Edmonton for a 4th round pick a win for Edmonton? Is Fredick an upgrade?
Do you dummies actually think that McDavid is going to stay in Edmonton if they keep Skinner & Pickard?
Luke is Lauren Kyle McDavid's Cousin. She introduced Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle.
What do you know about hockey Kane was not the only player taking penalties come on he wasn’t the only one that didn’t show in the finals look at this guy saying trying to sign Bouchard brown they were useless in the finals
Luke is a clown , how on earth did he get that broadcasting job? honestly, ffs, he's a clown
I’m a rarity probably in saying this but keep the goaltending. It’s cheap and what’s really any better???
Stu beat Ottenger twice. Picks and Stu got the final twice. Please don’t get change for change’s sake
Kane was a one dimentional player and he served the oilers well but was out for a season
Kane is penalty trouble. Can't control his enthusiasm
Gonna miss Kane in the lineup. I think it’s a big mistake to let him go. When the regular season comes and Kane gets back to form. We gonna regret it.
