It’s been nearly four weeks since free agency opened in the National Hockey League, and two members of last year’s Edmonton Oilers squad remain unsigned: Adam Henrique and Connor Ingram.

Sunday Scramble: The enshittification of being a hockey fan in 2026

Well, we are fully entrenched in the dog days of the NHL off-season, and on top of that, my beloved Toronto Blue Jays are past the point of breaking my heart. They’ve ripped it out and are continually stomping on it on a nightly basis. Between there being no fun Oilers news to discuss, baseball…
