Berube positive about Oilers interview but process ‘dragged too long’
One of the Edmonton Oilers’ head coaching candidates during this recent cycle talked about his experience on a recent podcast.

Why Mathieu Joseph could be a highly useful defensive forward for the Oilers
Most of the Edmonton Oilers’ moves this off-season, particularly the more significant ones, have focused on improving the back end and the goaltending. One signing that flew under the radar amid the flurry of activity on July 1 was the addition of forward Mathieu Joseph. Joseph, a 29-year-old left-shot winger from Laval, signed for one…

Who should replace Darnell Nurse as the Oilers’ next alternate captain?
With Darnell Nurse now with the San Jose Sharks, the Edmonton Oilers have at least a couple of things left to figure out for next season. For one, who’s taking over the music?

WWYDW: How do the Oilers fix their defensive logjam?
Many moons ago, Lowetide coined the term “The Leftorium” when referring to the Edmonton Oilers blue line. A decade ago, the Oilers had a plethora of left-shot defencemen who were competing for minutes: Andrej Sekera, Oscar Klefbom, Brandon Davidson, Andrew Ference, Darnell Nurse, Griffin Reinhart, Nikita Nikitin, and the list went on. Heading into the…
Which of these eight NHL fan bases should be most insulted by the offseason so far?
The NHL offseason has been in full swing for a few weeks now. Have you been mortally insulted yet? Not necessarily. For plenty of teams and their fan bases, a modern NHL offseason is just a steady stream of being told how wonderful they are. Both Florida teams know the drill. So does Vegas. This summer, Minnesota is playing the role of the lifelong loner who finally gets invited to sit at the cool kids’ table. How long will that last? We’ll find out, but for now they’re living large. And then ...

Hamilton Goes Nuts And Bolts
There was a pile of news that happened today across this great country when it came to sports radio, but I don't want to dwell on the negative brought on by Rogers Communications and their buffoonery. Instead, I want to head down the road from Toronto to one of the cities that make up the Greater Toronto Area - the GTA - in the southeast portion of Ontario. For as muc as Hamiltonians will tell anyone that they're different in all walks of life compared to Torontonians, they still occupy space ...
Welcome To Tor-Rogers
I've been avoiding phone calls from Rogers Communications for more than a week now simply due to the call being a sales pitch for some new mobile plan they've schemed. In the slight chance that it's something else, I'm sure they would have emailed me, but I have precisely less-than-zero desire to listen to someone pitch me on a phone plan that doesn't come close to the one I have. Despite me continuing to let them know that they should not be contacting me with sales pitches, we're going to go...
How will D.J. Smith deploy the Oilers defence?
The Edmonton Oilers currently have ten defensemen who played NHL games last season. Most would agree the top five D-men are Evan Bouchard, Mattias Ekholm, Jake Walman, Connor Murphy, and Ryan Shea. Bouchard is their top-pair right defenceman, will run the power play, and he will play the most minutes. Murphy is the second-pair right…
Stan Bowman needs to make a big splash and add a scoring winger
As the NHL offseason hits its quiet period, the Edmonton Oilers are still sitting with close to $6 million in cap space and, with a few roster moves, could easily see that number creep up north of $8 million. They have money to spend and a clear need for a top-six winger. The problem is…

Ducks backed into a corner with Leo Carlsson offer sheet
The Edmonton Oilers and other teams in the Pacific Division should be sending flowers and chocolates to the Philadelphia Flyers front office. A nice card should read, “Thanks for sending the Anaheim Ducks a poison pill.” Because that’s exactly what they did in signing Leo Carlsson to a five-year, $18 million AAV offer sheet. It’s…
A look at what the Oilers are hoping to get out of Mathieu Joseph next season
Just when you thought the Edmonton Oilers may have fallen asleep at the wheel on the first day of free agency, after a quiet start to the day, a flurry of signings followed the Darnell Nurse trade. Among them was Mathieu Joseph, who signed a one-year contract carrying a $1 million cap hit. If you…

Andersen wants to help Oilers ‘get over the hump’
The Edmonton Oilers’ free agent signing with the most pedigree is reigning Stanley Cup champion Frederik Andersen.

Adding Andersen…
