The Edmonton Oilers will have a new alternate jersey for the upcoming season, with little tidbits emerging on what the design is. Each NHL team will have new alternates as part of the league’s “Hometown Remix” jerseys, meant to tie directly to the city, culture, history, and identity of the market. Sports 1440 morning show…
Andersen, Joseph provide Stanley Cup rings to Oilers
The position group the Edmonton Oilers needed to address most in the off-season was goaltending. General manager Stan Bowman was busy adding two goaltenders to push Tristan Jarry next season, who needs a reset instead of a rebound. Whether Frederik Andersen or Devon Levi is a true solution can only be determined by the games,…

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.

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…
