Lets Talk About Mikko

In 2018, former Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli signed Koskinen to a one-year, 2.5 million dollar deal. It was a safe bet, as he was only asked to play as a backup to Cam Talbot. During the season, that changed, and Koskinen ended up taking the job from Talbot, as he went on a six-game home […]

McLeod Watching

Draft year In 2018, the Oilers had the 40th overall selection in the 2nd round of the NHL Entry Draft. With that pick, the Oilers drafted Ryan McLeod, who played for the Mississauga Steelheads in the OHL and had a phenomenal draft year, putting up 70 points (26 goals, 44 assists) through 68 games.

Opinion: Oilers, A New Voice…

Back In 2019-20, when the Oilers hired Tippett, the anxiousness to win was high. During a very disappointing 2018-19 season, the Oilers fired both Head Coach and GM.

Having won their 2nd straight game against Seattle the last time we saw them, a couple of things have changed in the lineup, […]

Should The Oilers Be Worried About Mike Smith?

Back in October, the Oilers were having the time of their life, playing at an insane level; everything was clicking. The powerplay, the offense, the depth, and the goaltending, were all key in the best start in franchise history. It was surprising to see, but for one player on the team, they didn’t enjoy it […]

Three Defensemen the Oilers Could Target by the Trade Deadline

In 2021, the Oilers made a ton of moves, both offensively and defensively. Picking up players such as Zach Hyman, Cody Ceci, Warren Foegele, and Duncan Keith. Have those moves paid off for the Oilers? Offensively, a little bit. Warren Foegele has been a bit of a disappointment as he hasn’t shown up enough on […]
