It’s another edition of Oilersnation Everyday, with Liam Horrobin stepping into the host’s chair while Tyler Yaremchuk is away on vacation. Joining Liam is Oilersnation contributor Michael Menzies as the boys get you caught up on the latest surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and the wider sports world.
The boys will kick things off with The News, focusing on Oilers general manager Stan Bowman joining Oilers Now on Friday to discuss the team’s salary cap situation heading into the upcoming season. With Edmonton finally entering a season in a strong position financially, Bowman discussed the team’s remaining cap space and what could be done with the roughly $5 million still available.
Could that flexibility give the Oilers the ability to make a significant addition during the season? Could Stan Bowman be waiting until the trade deadline to make another splash? Liam and Michael will break down Bowman’s comments and discuss what Edmonton’s newfound cap flexibility could mean once the puck drops.
After that, it’s time for The First Question, where Liam will put another big Oilers topic to the Nation Citizens and rely on the live chat to help shape the conversation. The boys will debate the question of the day and hear what Oilers fans think about the team’s offseason and what’s still to come.
From there, the conversation opens up to the wider sports world. Liam and Michael will run through some of the biggest stories from around the sports landscape, including a breakdown of the Edmonton Elks’ latest game and whatever else is making headlines.
To close things out, the boys will hand out their favourite betting plays courtesy of bet365.

It got away from them in both but 2024 I really feel especially now that that was the missed opportunity. ln my mind Edmonton was better in 5 of the 7 games. They absolutely should not have lost game 1.
Now that Nurse is gone. Bouchard screwups going to be exposed far more
Compare Bouchard to those other high-end defenseman and you'll see actually leads in some of those categories and he's behind in some of those categories overall he ranks right up there with them
This might be one of the toughest episodes to listen to, and not for the reasons that you guys think. You guys are great. I spent the last two years of my life, trying my hardest not to relive those Stanley Cup finals and it really hurts to go back and remember all those stupid mistakes that cost us at least one cup.
Not bad for a contract that Bushard has the one thing he has is a shot, but I think he’s gotta work on his defence
