2024-25 Edmonton Oilers Expectations

There is a famous old joke told by comedian Jerry Seinfeld that was about silver medals in the Olympics. His punchline was, “Congratulations, you almost won.” For fans of the Edmonton Oilers, it was absolutely worth celebrating during the summer how far the team got last season and how close they were to winning it all. […]

Predictions for the 2024-25 NHL Season

Last season, I attempted to predict the 2023-24 NHL season and it didn’t go so well for me. I wrote a piece highlighting just how wrong my season predictions were. I’m doing the same for the 2024-25 season. With training camp hitting the later stages, teams making their second and some making their final cuts, […]

Jasper Weatherby Signs PTO With Edmonton Oilers

Another day, another PTO. On Thursday morning, the Edmonton Oilers signed forward Jasper Weatherby to a professional tryout. The 26-year-old center was a 4th-round draft pick of the San Jose Sharks.

The St. Louis, Missouri native would be drafted by the Ottawa Senators […]

Projected Oilers Forward Lines

Every once in a while, an Oilers fan on Twitter will retweet Edmonton’s lineup from the 2018/2019 season. We can laugh at it now, but this roster has come a long way from what we used to sit through. The mouths of every fan in Oil Country got watery after July 1st. An already elite […]

Travis Dermott Signs PTO

The 27-year-old has played in 329 NHL games since being drafted 34th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2015. He has put up 62 career points. Needless to say, he is not meant to be used […]

A Look at the Upcoming Season with The Hockey News’ Adam Proteau

With the NHL season upon us, I figured now would be as good a time as ever to check in with one of my favorite hockey writers – Adam Proteau of The Hockey News. Adam was kind enough to take time out of his busy writing schedule to give us his thoughts on the moves […]

Player Profile: Zach Hyman

Zach Hyman isn’t your typical goal scorer. He may have appeared like it last season when he potted a combined 70 between the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs, but that’s never been what defines his game. He’s also the guy who hustles, does the dirty work, and creates space for his more skilled linemates. […]

The 28-year-old has been a consistent 100+ point player in 5 of his last 6 […]
