It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers at the Winter Games, Connor McDavid's debut, line combinations, Calvin Pickard's treatment, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Calvin Pickard getting waived unfairly after his agent spoke to Jason Gregor and suggested the team didn't make the right decision. If you take Rich Winter at his word, Stan Bowman isn't even sure that Pickard isn't the best goalie he has right now, but does that really make sense given the team's decision? The numbers would suggest not.Shifting gears, the guys looked at Team Canada's first couple of games on the men's side and how much fun it's been to watch NHLers back on the ice representing their country. From the way Team Canada blew out Czechia in their first game to the way they're handling Switzerland today, getting to watch the best of the best squaring off for their countries is so much fun. The guys also spoke about Sidney Crosby as an elder statesmen on the team, and how Baggedmilk wishes Connor McDavid could be tethered to him for the three weeks they're away.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season past the midway points, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Turning back to the Oilers, we looked at Calvin Pickard clearing waivers this week, and what that means for the team's goaltending depth going forward.

Darren Dreger was the first guest on today's show. He gave his initial thoughts on the Oilers play as of late. Is there still a goaltending problem or is this all defence? He gave his thoughts. He also touched on whether or not he thinks Calvin Pickard will be claimed off waivers. This week will be the Olympic Trade Freeze, he shared whether or not he thinks there will be any movement before the Olympic break. And we finished with some Olympic and Toronto Maple Leafs discussion. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. In the middle of hour two, we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented The Italian Centre Shop. What's good today was Dusty announcing that he is finally going to see LeBron James in March and how good the tampering window has been so far for the Elks after signing Taylor Powell. To cap off hour two, Mike Tanier stopped by to give his thoughts on Belichick not being a first ballot hall of famer, what the biggest story is heading into Super Bowl 60, and his overall thoughts heading into that one.
Tyler and Liam break it all down on this episode of Oilersnation Everyday as they recap Saturday night's 7–3 loss to the Minnesota Wild.The Oilers came into the game riding a three-game winning streak and even opened the scoring, but things unraveled quickly in the second period as Minnesota took control and never looked back. The boys go through everything that went wrong, from missed coverage to momentum swings that completely flipped the game on its head.In the crease, it was a rough one. Tristan Jarry was pulled after allowing five goals on 20 shots, finishing the night with a .750 save percentage. Connor Ingram came in but couldn't settle things down either, surrendering two goals on nine shots. Tyler and Liam discuss whether there should be growing concern around Jarry's play, especially with his numbers now sitting at an .873 SV% through 11 appearances with Edmonton.The show also dives into the latest Oilers news, including Calvin Pickard being placed on waivers, with a decision expected at noon on whether another NHL team claims him. What does that mean for the crease moving forward, and how tight is Edmonton's margin for error right now?NHL insider David Pagnotta joins the show to share the latest rumblings from around the league, including what to watch with the roster freeze approaching and whether any moves could still be on the horizon for the Oilers. To wrap things up, the boys run through what was trending around the sports world over the weekend and lock in their daily bets courtesy of bet365.Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Episode 337 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a pair of Edmonton Oilers prospects with great stories to share: the debut of Connor Ungar and the return of Matt Tomkins. In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we start with Ungar sharing lessons from one of the most unique seasons in recent memory. He has played for three different teams in the ECHL before getting called up to the American Hockey League and somehow posting an 11-1-4 record with a save percentage north of .944 for all four teams, including 6-0-0 with a .955 right now in Bakersfield. And it's all come as an undrafted free agent who spent a season at Brock University (not unlike Logan Thompson) after playing four seasons in the CHL.Speaking of unconventional paths, we also catch up with Tomkins, who went from two seasons in Sweden to his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning before signing with his hometown Oilers this summer, and continues to show he's capable of playing at the highest level all while openly sharing lessons learned along the way. That includes offseason time with osteopath James Wendland, whose popular training tips have been featured regularly at InGoal Magazine.In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about the risk of always comparing your child's path in this position to what others are doing, especially when it comes time to make Spring Hockey choices. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Jet Greaves of the Columbus Blue Jackets with some great depth advice on even-man rush chances, and how you should adjust if it breaks down in tight. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Vaughn Ion pads and gloves already being worn by Calvin Pickard of the Oilers in the NHL and available now in store and online.
It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' loss to the Islanders, the end of Connor McDavid's point streak, Edmonton's goaltending dilemma, line combos, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending situation and tried to figure out how the team will solve it. Given that carrying three goaltenders is less than ideal, the organization will eventually have to make a decision. Given how well Ingram has played since being recalled, it seems completely unlikely that Connor Ingram will be the one to go, but it's clear that the organization still respects what Calvin Pickard has done in his time here. Shifting gears, the guys looked at last night's loss to the New York Islanders, and Ilya Sorokin absolutely robbed them of two points by standing on his head. Given how well New York's goalie played, it's almost impossible to be too upset about the result, but that didn't stop the boys from being slightly annoyed anyway. They also discussed Andrew Mangiapane being a healthy scratch again and looked at what it will take to get him either in the mix or out of the market. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season now past the halfway mark, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

Happy Friday! Tyler and Liam are here to break down an absolutely wild 4–3 comeback win for the Edmonton Oilers last night against the Winnipeg Jets.The Oilers were down 3–1 in the second period before a Trent Frederic scrap with Logan Stanley completely flipped the script and changed the momentum. From that moment on, Edmonton found another gear and clawed their way back for a huge victory.Connor McDavid extended his ridiculous point streak to 17 games (tying a career high) with a goal and an assist, continuing to dominate offensively and drag this team forward. The boys also dive into Calvin Pickard's night – three goals on 16 shots in a tough outing, but he still found a way to get the W.Later in the show, Ryder from The Sauce jumps on to talk about the Oilers' mini two-game win streak and whether this group can finally put three straight wins together for the first time this season when they face the LA Kings on Saturday. Then Dennis Bernstein stops by to help preview that matchup as Edmonton prepares to see Los Angeles for the first time this year.To wrap things up, the guys switch gears and give their football picks for Super Wild Card Weekend in the NFL.

It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today's podcast, I talked about the Oilers year in review, Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours, Calvin Pickard, Connor McDavid's heater, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours that kicked off this past week. Given that we haven't even made it to the midway point of his first season as an Oiler, it's hard to understand why these UFA veterans keep going sideways once they land in Edmonton. Is it a role thing? Is it too hard to play with Connor or Leon? I also spent some time on Calvin Pickard's incredible showing against the Winnipeg Jets, and gave the Oilers' backup plenty of love for stepping up when the team needed him. Is our pal Cal doing enough to save his Oilers career?Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quiet again this week, but everyone's takes were still all over the map and very fun to listen to. The voicemail is my favourite way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.Want to leave a voicemail for next week's show? Do it here!

Pickard stopped 41 of 42 shots, finishing with a .976 save percentage in a performance that was truly the difference in the game.

The Jets have put together their best stretch of six consecutive periods in months. And yet, it still ended with two more points evaporating behind Edmonton goaltender Calvin Pickard. So where does Winnipeg go from here? It's becoming harder not to believe the Jets have let too many points slip through their fingers -- and may now be too far back to realistically catch up. How long can Scott Arniel continue to lean on the top line for 25-plus minutes a night? Just how long have the goal droughts stretched for Cole Perfetti, Jonathan Toews, Gustav Nyquist, Nino Niederreiter, and Vladislav Namestnikov? And wasn't the depth of this roster supposed to be its strength? What kind of streak would the Jets need to go on to get back into the playoff picture? And from an organizational standpoint, is chasing the postseason even the right move at this point? Cam and Jim dive into all of it on another episode of Jets @ Noon.

Tyler and Liam recap a busy back-to-back weekend for the Edmonton Oilers, highlighted by a split in two very different games. On Saturday, the Oilers fell 5–2 to the Minnesota Wild with Tristan Jarry sidelined and Calvin Pickard getting the start. Despite the loss, Pickard delivered a solid performance and may have earned some much-needed confidence from the Oilers fan base.The weekend took a positive turn on Sunday, as Edmonton picked up a massive 4–3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights in a key Pacific Division matchup. Connor Ingram made his Oilers debut between the pipes and looked steady, stopping 26 of 29 shots. The Oilers leaned on their star power to build a 4–0 lead and managed to hang on late to secure the win.Tyler and Liam break down everything that happened over the weekend, including injury updates on Tristan Jarry, Jake Walman, and Kasperi Kapanen, and what the current goalie picture looks like moving forward.

It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed the Oilers' recent turnaround, Tuesday's matchup vs. the Sabres, the third jersey swagger, Baggedmilk's Trivia, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Oilers are actually back after this recent run of strong performances. For everyone on the podcast, it's clear that this turnaround has been coming for a while now, even though the results haven't shown up yet. Starting on their road trip, the Oilers looked like they were playing a more engaged brand of hockey, and now that the results are matching up, the question is whether the tough days are behind us. Changing gears, we looked at the Oilers' two most recent wins and whether the alternate jerseys have some kind of sneaky voodoo that's powering them to these blowouts. The guys also discussed the latest goalie rumblings and how the noise as calmed down a touch after some improved results for Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard has resulted in a few crucial wins. We also ran through the latest injury news and offered a few updates on some players who haven't been around for a while. Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia, including some Oilers vs. Buffalo-specific questions ahead of Tuesday's game.

Tyler and Liam break down an absolutely embarrassing night at Rogers Place, as the Edmonton Oilers were crushed 8–3 by the Dallas Stars in their first home game in more than two weeks. Edmonton fell behind 4–0 after the opening period and never recovered.Stuart Skinner was pulled after allowing 4 goals on just 8 shots, and Calvin Pickard didn't fare any better — giving up 4 goals of his own in relief. The lone bright spot was Connor Clattenburg, who scored his first NHL goal and logged just under 13 minutes in the loss.We'll dig into all of it: what went wrong, who struggled, who showed up, and where the Oilers go from here with their goaltending situation now reaching a critical point.We'll also be joined by former NHL goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who'll give his perspective on Skinner's and Pickard's performances and what he believes the Oilers' next move should be between the pipes. Later in the show, David Pagnotta stops by to discuss how last night's disaster might affect the Oilers' outlook, the trade market, and what management's options look like moving forward.We'll wrap things up with What's Trending and our Bet365 daily bets.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!
Tyler and Liam break down an absolute heartbreaker, as the Edmonton Oilers fell 2–1 in overtime to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Edmonton held a 1–0 lead for almost the entire night, only to see Nick Paul tie the game with under three minutes left in regulation. Things didn't get any easier in overtime, where both Zach Hyman and Jack Roslovic were denied by Andrei Vasilevskiy before Jake Guentzel buried the OT winner for Tampa Bay.Despite the loss, Calvin Pickard delivered one of his best performances of the season, stopping 33 of 35 shots and giving the Oilers every chance to win. We'll run through the full scoring summary, break down the key moments, and discuss what this loss means with the road trip nearing its end.Ryder from “The Sauce” joins the show to talk about his first few weeks at Oilersnation and how things have been going behind the scenes. After that, former Oiler Rob Schremp hops on to share his thoughts on the Oilers' struggles, the pressure mounting inside the dressing room, and whether he's ever experienced a closed-door team meeting during his NHL career.We'll wrap things up with our Bet365 NFL picks for the weekend, plus a few early looks at tomorrow's Oilers betting board.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!
During Hour 2 we checked in with a new edition of In or Out discussing the Oilers' loss in Tampa, Calvin Pickard, the Buffalo Bills, Week 12 in the NFL, and Coors Original. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' inability to play a full 60 minutes, Calvin Pickard's spot in the lineup, the return of Zach Hyman, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending situation, and specifically, whether Calvin Pickard is going to be around as the backup for the rest of the year. While there's no doubt the skaters in front of the goalies need to be better, it's hard to argue that the goalies don't need to make more saves. Shifting gears, we looked at the Oilers' disappointing loss last night in Columbus despite a valiant attempt at a second straight comeback against the Blue Jackets. Unfortunately, the hole the Oilers dug was too deep and the push for the tie was too little too late. We also looked at the Oilers placing Troy Stecher on waivers in addition to sending Isaac Howard down to the Bakersfield Condors. Best move for the team? What about for the players?Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With the 2025-26 season well underway, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's what happens when the team is playing as poorly as they are right now.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365.

Tyler is flying solo on today's episode of Oilersnation Everyday and will break down last night's 5–4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets in Ohio. It was the second half of a back-to-back and the Oilers' third game in four nights, and it showed early — Edmonton started slow, flat, and lifeless before mounting a late push in the third period. They came inches away from tying the game in the final minute but ultimately fell short.Calvin Pickard had another tough outing, allowing five goals, while Matthew Savoie delivered a breakout performance and even earned a promotion to the top line alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Tyler will go through the full game recap, assess the current state of the Oilers' goaltending situation, and discuss the potential return of Zach Hyman on Saturday — and what his presence could mean for the lineup.We'll also take a look at what's trending around the sports world, give out our NFL betting picks for the upcoming weekend, and finish the show with a conversation with Oilersnation writer Caprice St. Pierre to get her perspective on the goaltending battle and how this team looks 19 games into the season.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Producer Bordzy is back from the Dominican Republic! After a week away in paradise, he rejoins Tyler and Liam to recap his vacation and catch up on everything that went down in a wild week in Oil Country while he was gone.Then, the boys dive into a wild game at Rogers Place last night between the Edmonton Oilers and Columbus Blue Jackets — a game that saw Edmonton erase two separate two-goal deficits before Jack Roslovic buried the overtime winner. It was a vintage Connor McDavid performance, as the captain refused to let his team lose, scoring twice and completely taking over the game.We'll go through the scoring summary, break down the key moments, and discuss what this win could mean for the Oilers moving forward. Plus, we'll tackle our Spotify Question of the Day, centered around the Oilers' goaltending situation and what needs to happen next.Later in the show, we'll be joined by former Oilers goaltender Devan Dubnyk to get his thoughts on Calvin Pickard, Stuart Skinner, and how the team can make life easier on their netminders. Then, Thomas Hockey from Amazon Prime Video joins the show to share what it was like being in the building for last night's McDavid performance, and whether this comeback could be the spark Edmonton's been waiting for.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!
Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by former NHLer and Edmonton Oilers analyst Rob Brown looks at the team's inconsistency from their coaching staff to the players' performances on the power-play, why too much line juggling can hurt the chemistry, Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard future, Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard's tense exchange at practice, and Jack Roslovic's incredible decision making. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee take a listen to Kris Knoblauch's post-game comments against the Colorado Avalanche on the magnitude of a 9-1 loss, and how the Oilers are comparable to the 2024-25 team in the same month of November. Finally, the guys touch on Flyers' captain Sean Couturier calling out his teammate Matvei Michkov.

Things couldn't get much worse for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night after a 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche — a humiliating result that capped off what's already been a dismal start to the season. The question now is where they go from here.Head coach Kris Knoblauch had some interesting comments post-game, particularly regarding the team's trust in its goaltending. Could that be a hint at what's next for Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard? Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will be joined by David Pagnotta from The Fourth Period to discuss the possibility of a trade so early in the NHL season.Meanwhile, the Oilers are back in action tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Jackets have dropped three straight and could be the ideal opponent for Edmonton to bounce back against.Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/OilersNation/https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnationSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!
The Oilers dropped their second-last preseason game last night, falling 4-2 to the Seattle Kraken. Darnell Nurse found the back of the net, for the Oilers, Matt Savoie continued to impress with a strong performance and a goal of his own, while Calvin Pickard struggled between the pipes, giving up 4 goals on 17 shots. Tyler and Liam will break it all down as we inch closer to the regular season opener.Later in the show, the guys will be joined in-studio by new Oilersnation writer Michael Menzies to dive into how the Oilers should line up for opening night, and which forward combos could work best to kick off the season.

Elliotte Friedman has suggested twice in the past week that the Kirill Kaprizov contract situation makes him believe that there is tampering going on. Will the NHL do anything about it? Can they? It's been a tough month for hall of fame goalies as Bernie Parent and Ed Giacomin passed away last week. All this plus we look to the upcoming season and what we might expect with some off the wall predictions. Listen Here: Apple Podcasts Direct MP3 iHeart Radio Title Player Dallas Drake Shoutout - Nathaniel from Edmonton -been listening Sending stickers News Kirill Kaprizov - turned down 8 x $16,000,000 Friedman: ON 32 thoughts said his take was that since it didn't get accepted, Kaprizov's camp must believe they have an offer higher elsewhere. He then said on The Fan Hockey Show - “I do believe there has been tampering going on. I'll never be able to prove it, but I believe it.” Will this be the case where the NHL finally gets to drop the hammer on teams. Who is it? Oilers McDavid - waiting for Kaprizov to sign largest deal? Friedman says he thinks when McDavid signs, we will be very surprised at how low it will be Zack Hyman - will be out for a month at least recovering from wrist surgery Key Departures / Losses Player Role / Impact What the Oilers Lose Evander Kane Big, physical winger; provided playoff grit; scored some clutch goals in their run. New York Post+3ESPN.com+3NHL+3 Loss of experience, net-front presence, and some scoring ability on the wing. Cap space freed up. Puckpedia+1 John Klingberg Veteran defenseman, could move the puck and helped on power plays. Daily Faceoff+1 Leaves a gap in puck-moving defense; need someone to replace his skill set. Daily Faceoff Corey Perry Veteran winger, presence in locker room; some scoring and depth contributions. ESPN.com+1 Less veteran depth up front; more need for younger players or middle-6 to step up. FlamesNation Major Additions & Re-Signings Player What They Bring / Role Expectations or Potential Andrew Mangiapane (F) Free agent wing; solid two-way game; brings energy and speed; adds depth to forward group. NHL Likely to slot into middle-6; expected to provide secondary scoring and help in puck retrieval/forecheck. NHL Curtis Lazar Depth forward; solid veteran; can move between lines; helps with penalty killing or bottom-6 work. NHL+1 Probably not a game changer offensively, but gives the Oilers more stable options in depth and more flexibility in line matchups. NHL Evan Bouchard (D) Re-signed to a long(er) deal; one of their young top-defensemen; carries big responsibility. NHL+2Puckpedia+2 Expected to be a top pairing or heavy minutes defenseman; important part of their transition and stability at blue line. Puckpedia+1 Vasily Podkolzin (F) Signed a 3-year extension; was fairly productive; brings physicality (hits/blocked shots) as well as modest offensive contributions. Reuters+1 Should see him keep developing; potentially more trusted in key situations; might take on bigger role if injuries or slumps hit. Reuters Defense & Goaltending Defense: Largely stable. Outside of Klingberg's departure, many of the same names remain. There's some competition for depth defense spots: Ty Emberson is in the mix, as is Troy Stecher. Daily Faceoff+1 Key defensemen (like Bouchard, Ekholm, Nurse, Kulak, and Jake Walman) will need to hold up; some have had criticism but generally the group is considered good, if not perfect. Daily Faceoff Goaltending: The plan is to stick with Stuart Skinner as the “starter” with Calvin Pickard backing him up. The Hockey News They brought in a new goalie coach (Peter Aubrey) to try to improve that tandem rather than making a big signing or trade in that area. The Hockey News Cap / Roster Space & Composition The Oilers are tight on cap space. They currently project very little wiggle room (just a few hundred thousand) under the cap. Puckpedia They added some depth cheap, and held on to core players like Bouchard, Draisaitl, McDavid, etc. Puckpedia+2NHL+2 The forward group has been revamped a bit — more balance, more depth. Mangiapane and Lazar add to that. NHL+1 What to Watch / Weaknesses & Question Marks Goalie performance — with essentially the same tandem, how much improvement will come from coaching changes vs. in-net execution? If Skinner or Pickard struggle, the team may regret not pursuing a more proven backup or starter. Defensive consistency — the blue line has high expectations, especially with departures and aging players. How well do the depth defenders perform? Will the pairings hold up under playoff pressure? Secondary scoring / depth contributions — losing Evander Kane is a noticeable hit in terms of grit and clutch goals. The burden will shift more onto middle lines and depth forwards to chip in. McDavid contract / future — McDavid enters 2025-26 in the final year of his current contract. There is active discussion / confidence from management that he'll sign an extension, but the uncertainty looms. Reuters Special teams — penalty kill was mediocre last season; power play always under the microscope with McDavid/Draisaitl. How much the coaching tweaks help will be critical. Daily Faceoff LEAFS Major Departures Player Role / Impact What They Leave Behind Mitch Marner Top-6 forward, key playmaker. Trailed Auston Matthews on many scoring charts. Big offensive void, particularly in assists and secondary scoring. Reuters+1 Ryan Reaves Enforcer / physical presence, veteran depth forward. NHL+1 Less physical grit, fewer intimidation matchups. Need others to pick up that edge. Pontus Holmberg Depth forward, role player. NHL+1 Loss of depth, especially useful in centre / bottom-6 roles. Max Pacioretty Veteran winger, scoring ability though recent decline. NHL+1 Leaves space for younger wingers or new signings to step up. Others also left / not re-signed: some depth forwards, fringe roster spots. hockeypatrol.com+1 Key Additions & Signings Player What They Bring Role / Expectations Nicolas Roy Acquired in the Marner trade. Good two-way forward, can chip in scoring from bottom 6. Reuters+1 Matias Maccelli Younger forward, decent upside. Could slide into top-6 if needed. NHL Dakota Joshua Physical forward, heavy hitter, adds depth. Reuters+1 Henry Thrun Defenseman acquired from San Jose. Adds youth / depth on the blue line. NHL Michael Pezzetta Signed to a two-year deal. Depth forward, physicality. NHL Re-Signings & Extensions John Tavares agreed to a 4-year extension. Provides veteran leadership and scoring. Reuters Matthew Knies signed a 6-year, $46.5M deal, becoming more of a foundational piece. The Times of India Goaltending: Anthony Stolarz is in contract extension talks after a strong season. The Times of India Roster & Cap Implications The team loses a high-impact forward (Marner), which both frees up some cap & puts pressure on finding or developing scoring elsewhere. The Hockey News+2hockeypatrol.com+2 Expect more responsibility for existing players (e.g. Knies) and for new arrivals like Maccelli or Roy to fill the offensive gaps. Depth players and prospects are in line to get more opportunity. Names like Easton Cowan, William Villeneuve, etc., are under watch. NHL What to Watch / Question Marks Who steps into top-6 scoring alongside Matthews and Nylander. That line is going to be more scrutinized this season. How the Leafs adjust defensively with the incoming younger D-corps (Thrun etc.), and whether the blue line depth is improved. Goaltending consistency: Stolarz's extension talks suggest they want stability there. Joseph Woll's role likely stays important. The Hockey News Whether the loss of Marner and Pacioretty will hurt in the playoffs more than during the regular season, especially in tight matchups. Goalie deaths - Bernie Parent, Ed Giacomin passed away - 3 legendary goalies in a short span Guess the 5th Off the Wall predictions - provide 3 - we can go back and forth alternating our predictions. Discuss each and the likelihood of happening. ChatGPT's Goalie hits 10 points 100 point Defenceman - Makar, Hughes, Fox? NHL Game gets retro-outdoor twist - wooden sticks, old padding, Cannections: Last week Ken Dryden, Vladislav Tretiak, Eric Lindros, Jarome Iginla - none of them played for the team that drafted them This week - William Nylander, David Pastrnak, Patrick Kane, Andrei Vasilevskii Crazy Stat - There are more coaches entering their first game with current team than there are coaches who have been with their team for 2 or more years.
