OIL STREAM: Oilers Sign Both Murphy & Dickinson!

Edmonton Sports Talk — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:10:00 GMT

The microphones are live at a noisy, buzzing Boston Pizza Westgate! On this massive Monday edition of The Oil Stream, Dustin Nielson and YouTube Trev are officially on location, and an absolute offseason bomb dropped right before the cameras started rolling. Stan Bowman and the Edmonton Oilers management team have officially locked up shutdown defenseman Connor Murphy to a brand-new five-year contract extension carrying a $4.1 million AAV. The boys waste absolutely zero time diving into the heavy fallout of this massive signature.

On Today's Show:

The Connor Murphy Verdict: The trade deadline acquisition is staying in northern Alberta for the long haul! But at 33 years old, is a 5-year term running through his age-38 season an absolute ticking time bomb? The boys break down the $4.1M cap hit, argue over the high-risk vs. high-reward, and slap their official letter grades on the contract. They also dive into the Jason Dickinson deal with the 30-year-old signing on the dotted line yesterday!

The Darnell Nurse Domino Effect: Let's read between the lines. If the Oilers are spending $4.1M a year on a veteran defensive specialist like Murphy, what does this mean for the rest of the blue line? The boys break down the cap sheet and ask the million-dollar question: Does this signature mean Stan Bowman is officially pushing all his chips into trading away Darnell Nurse's heavy contract this summer?

YouTube Trev's Elite Top 6 Rankings: Shifting gears to league-wide elite firepower, Trev opens up his whiteboard to officially rate the best top-six forward groups across the entire National Hockey League. Who holds the crown, and where do the top-heavy Oilers stack up against the league's best?

Dusty's Ultimate UFA Shopping List: With free agency just around the corner on July 1st, Nielson counts down his personal top 5 unrestricted free agent targets he wants to see the Oilers chase to round out the depth chart.

The Oil Stream is live every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on Edmonton Sports Talk! As always, The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!

Why the Jason Dickinson extension is a massive risk

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Is history repeating itself in Edmonton? In this episode of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis breaks down his instant reaction to the Edmonton Oilers signing 30-year-old forward Jason Dickinson to a massive five-year contract extension worth $4 million per year.

While Dickinson is a perfectly serviceable, defense-first third-line center , giving five years of term to a depth player turning 31 this summer is a massive gamble. Nick explains exactly why these types of "golden parachute" contracts rarely age well in today's NHL salary cap environment and how it limits the team's window of contention.

We take a 10,000-foot view of the Oilers' fatal roster construction issues. From Stan Bowman's refusal to embrace a proper development year for young stars like Matt Savoy and Ike Howard , to the looming questions surrounding Mike Babcock , and a goaltending situation that remains a total disaster—the Oilers are trying to "defense" their way to a championship in an era where offense wins games. Are they wasting the peak years of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl by putting all the heavy lifting back on their shoulders?

OIL STREAM: Top UFA Targets For The Oilers!

Edmonton Sports Talk — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 20:18:00 GMT

We are breaking new ground on today's broadcast as YouTube Trev steers the ship alongside a highly anticipated special guest—the one, the only, Zach Kubusch.

The boys have a massive, jam-packed show for the Nasties today as the NHL offseason shifts into overdrive. From breaking retirement news out of Winnipeg to massive blockbusters out East, the hockey world is absolutely spinning, and we are tracking how every single domino affects the Edmonton Oilers.

On Today's Show:

The Zach Kubusch Debut: Zach officially hits the set! Trev welcomes him to the desk to break down the current state of Oil Country and to get his raw take on management's biggest summer priorities.

Jonathan Toews Calls It a Career: "Captain Serious" has officially hung up the skates after finishing his final season with his hometown Winnipeg Jets. Three Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe, and a Selke—but the boys aren't afraid to ask the hard questions. Is Jonathan Toews actually one of the most overrated players in modern NHL history? Trev and Zach go toe-to-toe on his true legacy.

YouTube Trev's Ultimate UFA Wishlist: Free agency is right around the corner, and Trev is opening up his scouting notebook. He counts down his absolute favourite UFAs hitting the market this summer and maps out exactly who Jeff Jackson and Stan Bowman need to target to get this roster back to the Stanley Cup Final.

"Would You Rather" Showdown: To close out a massive week of sports talk, the boys play a hilarious round of hockey-themed Would You Rather.

Oilers cleared to hire Mike Babcock | Is Darnell Nurse on his way to Pittsburgh?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 15:55:37 GMT

The Edmonton Oilers are making major waves in the NHL headlines, from a potential Mike Babcock hiring to massive Darnell Nurse trade rumors.

In today’s episode, host Nick Zararis breaks down the shocking reports from Emily Kaplan and Elliot Friedman indicating that the NHL has cleared the path for the Edmonton Oilers to hire Mike Babcock. We dive deep into why the NHL won't block the move , look back at Babcock’s controversial past in Toronto and Columbus , and discuss why this hiring could turn into an unmitigated disaster for McDavid, Draisaitl, and the Oilers' championship window.

Plus, we reverse-engineer the latest NHL trade market leaks. TSN’s Darren Dreger dropped a massive update linking Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse to the Pittsburgh Penguins. What would a Nurse-to-Pittsburgh trade look like under Kyle Dubas and Stan Bowman? Are the Oilers about to get stuck taking back Ryan Graves' bad contract?

Finally, we round out the show with a massive league-wide NHL trade market recap. We analyze the Toronto Maple Leafs' mind-boggling 8-year extension for Darren Raddysh , and the recent Leafs-Flyers trade involving Joseph Woll, Simon Benoit, and Samuel Ersson
