Summary
TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston joined the show off the top, and we immediately plunged into all things Oil Country. CJ shared his initial thoughts on Stan Bowman's aggressive opening-day strategy in Free Agency and laid out what he expects next from management now that the Oilers are flush with new cap flexibility. From there, we toured the league to get CJ's inside scoop on the developing drama surrounding Norris-winner Zach Werenski in Columbus, the Winnipeg Jets' active trade discussions involving Connor Hellebuyck, and an update on Dylan Larkin. Plus, CJ broke down the breaking news regarding Connor Bedard's practice injury in BC before wrapping up with his definitive free agency winners and losers. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break, we got into Offseason, What Offseason presented by GCL Diesel. For the first time in a long time the Oilers have cap space… would you like to see the Oilers use that money asap, or should they wait it out? Dustin Nielson finished hour two with his thoughts on the Oilers moves on Free Agency, he gave a grade on the day as well and finished with some CFL talk.
