Random Thoughts: The Battle of Alberta, the Oilers still have space, and putting an “A” on Zach Hyman
We’re deep in the summer dead zone, and the lack of Oilers news has given me the chance to formulate a few Random Thoughts that I can use your help in figuring out. This week, I’m thinking about the NHL schedule, what Stan Bowman’s plan is for Edmonton’s remaining cap space, and who will wear…

Oilers goalie prospect Ryan Cameron’s ‘steady climb’ to the NHL Draft
Ryan Cameron had a much different NHL Draft experience than most prospects. He didn’t get called on stage to try on his new team’s jersey. He didn’t get a phone call. He didn’t even get selected in his first year of eligibility. Instead, the six-foot-two goaltender heard his name called by the Edmonton Oilers while…

Which draft year makes the best lineup of players traded for first-round picks?
Hidden away on my laptop is a list that’s simply labeled “ideas”. It’s where I keep all those potential columns that I haven’t got around to yet, or in some cases haven’t worked up the courage to try. A lot of them are weird. Some are probably just flat-out dumb. In some cases I’m waiting for some sort of news hook; in others I’m just holding off until Slow News Summer hits its peak. A lot of them just aren’t there yet in terms of supporting a whole piece, but might be some day if I get desper...

The Opening Day
Having been to a handful of music festivals in my time, I can honestly say that one stumbles across a great opening band only once in a while. It's not that these bands can't play or don't know how to write music, but it's just that they usually haven't found that sound that makes the crowd sit up and take notice of what they're doing. The first day of the HBIC Music Festival has none of that as there are well-known artists that will appear below for nearly every team. Again, not every team wi...
HBIC Music Festival
With it being relatively slower in the hockey world at this moment, I have started to purge my laptop of things that I've simply held onto for far too long. One of those includes the idea to the left as I have, as of last count, 130 new images of musicians either holding or wearing some sort of hockey jersey in a folder on my desktop. Clearly, this is just eating up space that could be used for something else, and when is there a better time for a music festival than in the middle of summer? W...

What does a shutdown third line around Jason Dickinson look like?
Recent Stanley Cup champions have shown how much value an elite third line can provide. The 2026 Carolina Hurricanes’ cup run was driven in large part by captain Jordan Staal’s exceptional performance on the third line, which earned him the Conn Smythe. The year before, the 2025 Florida Panthers were another remarkably deep team that…
