It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed Darnell Nurse trade rumours, where he might end up, the incoming Mike Babcock press conference, line combinations, and more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Mike Babcock becoming the Oilers’ next head coach, and whether there’s anything he can do to win over the Oilers fans who are not at all happy about the decision. Given the Oilers are making this decision, not caring about the fanbase’s opinion, there’s little doubt that the noise surrounding this decision will be incredibly loud. That led the boys to wonder what kinds of questions the media will be asking about the situation and what to expect going forward.
Shifting gears, the guys continued on with another round of Darnell Nurse trade talk. The boys had David Pagnotta on Oilersnation Everyday on Friday afternoon, and he pitched a couple of ideas on what a Nurse deal might look like. The options seem to be that the Oilers either hold some salary for a better return or accept a lesser trade to clear out every dollar. Is there a scenario where Edmonton can actually make a hockey trade?
Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and Hot and Cold Performers to wrap up the week. The guys also discussed the Stanley Cup Final, the Hurricanes winning it all, and how the entire office is bought in on the World Cup. While the Nation HQ staff may not know what’s going on very often, that hasn’t stopped the squad from getting excited anyway.

We’re are Edmonton strong with Mike
If players just wanna sign here to ride the 97 and 29 train, don’t sign them. Arvidsson , Skinner and Mangipane all wanted to play with the stars but didn’t wanna put in the work . That’s why guys like Hyman , Podkolzin and Savoie work with them.
How is he going to prove he worked on not being an asshole? I don't think there's a school for "not being an asshole" He's had more than one chance to prove he's changed for the better, and he's failed every time. I would be shocked if he's changed. There's one thing to be tough on players and having their backs, and being an asshole to the "less important" people.
