0:00Hey, it's Bob Stoffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now, Add Free on Amazon Music, Included with Prime. America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first, nearly three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home. And not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us. Will we let them? Or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures. Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead. Learn how at AmericaCures.com. Pay for by Farma. You said you were over him, but his hoodie is stealing your rotation. It's time. Grab your phone, snap a few fix, and sell it on D-Pop. List it in minutes, with no selling fees. And just like that, a guy 500 miles away just paid full price for your closure. And right on cue. Hey, still got my hoodie? Nope. But I've got tonight's dinner paid for.

1:00Start selling on D-Pop. Where taste recognizes taste. List now with no selling fees. Payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. See website for details. All right. Welcome back everybody. It's 435 in oil country, Bob Stoffer in ISIS. Ricky can text us on the actually fine floor. It's text line. It's 435. Of course, this is really NHL trade deadline week. The others adding Conor Murphy on Monday for a second around draft choice. Chicago retaining. Half of the money. On Conor Murphy. Let's go to some text. Josh has text us to say, I like Nick Waw, a lot more than I like Scott Lawton. And if I'm reading between the lines of what you're seeing, what about Monja Pony in a 27 first for McMahon and Lawton? Would rather have Waw be a part of that deal, says Josh. Other Toronto could get more than that. I'm going to be honest with you. You got to understand. At this stage, my Japanese carries negative trade equity.

2:01Okay. Another one. Bob, if there's a first on the table for Lawton and McMahon, there would not be a smart move for Emmett and Lawton. Trade for Toronto was bad. And he's a fourth liner. Nothing more than that. Okay. Keep text us on the actually fine, actually fine floor is text line. Listening to. All the way from Revelstoke is Darcy. Hello Darcy and. He's a big fan of the Paul coffee higher as well. And the orders of course getting Connor Murphy. Sonny and Vancouver says Bob, if Evan Bouchard finishes top six or sorry, top 10 or even top six and scoring for the NHL. Does that help his cause for the Norris? Absolutely. I mean, I think Evan Bouchard is probably in the four hole right now. Taxer has said Bob, I'm hearing Colton, Parako could be available. Sure hope the orders would be interested. They would be interested. The problem is the cap. They can't take on a six million dollar player

3:02with several multiple years of term left. And I just don't see that happening. Again, Parako, weighing an opportunity to go to, to shuffle off to Buffalo. Keep Texas at 70 zero four five one eighty hundred. And I know I've mentioned law. To me, that's a longer shot. And again, I would think that on the heels of the Connor Murphy trade, my thought process was evident was probably going to have to move. My Japan with a decent draft pick just to get out of that contract. And then to move a couple more draft picks. To maybe get a top nine winger or best case scenario center. Or you just better off moving to 2027 number one. To address a couple areas of need. Or maybe one area need and taking a flyer on somebody and conversely getting my Japany out to open up the cap space.

4:04Time will tell and you're going to need a team that's got retention spots as well. Keep that in mind. But it's not afraid to use them. Like it's got to be a team that's got some money. So away we go. Keep it up. Keep Texas on the actually fine floors text line. It is 438 in oil country. Last night, the Amazon Oilers took on the Ottawa Senators. Let's go to the oilers now. Audio vault for direct workwear. The oilers now. Audio vault is brought to you by direct workwear in these type budget times. Direct workwear is the superhero. Your wallet deserves cute selection. Low prices at direct workwear. Can I move it in with the call of last night's game? Ottawa Senators are in town. We're all set to go. The Amazon Oilers host the Ottawa Senators. And now to Dylan Cousins and shot scores. Dylan Cousins came in and he goes high to the glove side and makes it one nothing for the Senators. To echo him, he'll go to the net. The shot. Save. I all marked the book.

5:04Jump loose. Come to front. Scars. Leon Dried's title. It's on the right. Comes across. Bathursts in shot. Scores. Drake Bathursts in off the left wing. Pricidal in front of the goal. Scores. A big shot by dryside. Over to the left wing. In front of the net scores. His past hit. Bathursts in coming off the back door. As Ella was in there, a loose puck out front. The shot scores. Stashney was held on the play. He was going for a puck. He couldn't induce the call. A radio with the goals that came to him in the slot. Edmonton can't get a call. Ottawa all over the ointers. Two quick ones here and a third. Mick David in front. Dried's title. Scars. Lend the ointers up. Cut the Ottawa lead. Two, four, three. I don't think that Nuget Hopkins do. They have now changed it on the NHL website for Ryan Nuget Hopkins. Bouchard. Right to Dried's title in front. Scars.

6:04Zach Hyman. And this game is tied. And we are going to go to overtime. The Oilers and the Senators. Edmonton was down 4-2 after 40. The Mick David over to Bouchard. The shot. Scars. Edmont Bouchard. Hammers at home. Edmonton wins it. 5-4-0-T. Aiden Gannon. Like man. Come on. I'm really sorry, man. Do we need to explain to people what happened right before the goal is called a camp called the goal? Should we explain to people what happened? You said he needed to shoot any shot. I said, quit. This isn't about giving Leon the best look or going for a tap in for Hyman. You win the draw and let Bouchard hammer it. And that's why Cam used the word hammer to describe the goal. Come on, man. We're going to get you coached up and die.

7:05I'm just having fun. Sorry about that. Here is what Leon Drysettel had to say about Evan Bouchard. After last night's come from behind victory. As good as it gets in the league. You know, up there with the macarons, the Hughes. He does it his way. It might not be as flashy as those guys, but he gets it done. And he is one of the best defensemen in the league. Has been for a few years now. And obviously this year, I think he's taken another step, which is amazing to see. And he should have been on Team Canada. Evan Bouchard, meanwhile, had these thoughts knowing that the others had to have a good third period. We knew we had to have a push in the third period first two. We weren't good enough. Four goals is not a good recipe for success, but we knew we had to stick with it. We had the guys that can put the puck in it and took the full 20, but that's really tough.

8:06All right, there you go. So the orders get the victory. We're going to punt for now on Conor Murphy. We're going to get to Latin a second. The orders skating today, though, keeping several of their big minute players out. Jake Walman. Well, he provided some insight here. Jake Walman on not playing in the third period. Regardless, I it sucks like not not playing. You know, it's want to be a part of that. Come back and part of the team, especially being part of the reason why you're down. You want to kind of get back at it, but. Yeah, it's it's. Oh, this is on me. I got it. Got to play better and not put myself in that situation. And Jake Walman was put in a situation where he needed to play better for the team last night. And he didn't. And now he knows that he's going to have to correct that. I mean, me and my best game, I got a lot to add to this team. So not not fully there yet. I think just trying to build it.

9:06I know I'm probably the hardest on myself out of everybody. So just trying to bring my game every night. And I want to I guess a night that they don't have it. You got to try and be an average player and. And you know, like make my average game a good game for a lot of guys. Curtis Lazar left in the first period of last night's game. And it sounds like he could be out for a while. Here's head coach Chris Norbock. Yeah, at least we could probably look at it for. And things being a little bit difficult moving around with roster space right now. It's important that the guys that they have stay in the lineup. Norbock says that Lazar should be okay by playoffs. Yes, that's what it looked like. Norbock also spoke on Matthias Janmark, who had season ending surgery this year or just a couple of days ago. He was it was an injury that he had last year. He was able to get some treatments. That helped it. Buddy, you can only get those treatments.

10:06Periodically. And, you know, playing through a bunch of pain. And, you know, giving a lot of credit for doing that. Because of his times where it was really uncomfortable for him. But, and then as the season went on, you know, it made felt that he could play through it. And it just got to be just too much. He was just playing compromised out there. And, you know, he's never out of position. He made good plays. But, he just, you know, mostly the puck battles. You know, he didn't have his strength. And it would felt for him. And, you know, he was the one who made the decision that it was best to, you know, get the surgery just because it didn't look like it was going to get better. And we felt that, you know, he was playing through a lot of pain. Going into the Olympic break. And then when it came back from the Olympic break, it felt that that time off would be really beneficial. And it really didn't make that much improvement.

11:08So that's when it was considered about surgery. So, Lazar and Jan Marker out. Oilers. They attempted to address the golden in situation. We've got two new goldeners. Obviously, the Tristan Jerry trade, which has been much blind because Jerry has not performed well over his last several starts. That saw Kool-Ack get moved along with Stuart Skinner. The Oilers then got Conor Murphy in a deal for a second round picked from the Chicago Black Ocks with the Black Ocks retaining. So they're retaining on Jones. And they're now retaining on Conor Murphy. You're allowed three players to retain on. So we'll see whether or not they move one other guy. They look at Nashville. Can Nashville be a team that retains in a player like O'Reilly? Something to think about Ponder. Last night during the second intermission, Aiden Gannum had a quick conversation with the newest member of the Evans Oilers Conor Murphy.

12:12Yeah, thanks a lot, Brendan. Sorry to steer you thunder there, Connor. Welcome to Edmonton. I just want to start off by asking you where you were when you found out you became an Edmonton Oiler. Yeah, it was actually in the lobby of the hotel in Winnipeg. We had an off day there. And the afternoon had a text of my agent that things were kind of picking up. And that stand was talking to Kyle, Chicago's GM. And it was more excitement rate away hoping that something could come through and work. I had my sights set and Edmonton for a while knowing there's a possibility of change coming. And it was really grateful to be here and to get started. You're joining a squad that's led by Conor McDavid and Leon Dryas. Obviously that's not your style of play. You're a state home defenseman. What's what's the excitement like knowing you're going to be lacing it up with those guys? Yeah, them and the whole team I think have admired their play. These guys have climbed the mountain a couple times here going to the finals. And the game that they've they've strung along and come together is really admirable. And I'd have the chance to grow with any of them. I think will be really fun and a mixture of learning off them.

13:13A mixture of trying to get comfortable and build some chemistry is really important. And I just looking forward to the first practice again if everyone. You're coming into a situation right now. The Euler's defense has been harped on a lot by the fan face this season. And with your style of play, just wondering how you feel you can contribute to this squad's defense, of course. Yeah, my role is definitely a little more pride in the D zone and trying to be a hard defender, whichever way I can. I mean, a lot of defending is a team game. So I think it's a buy-in and it's a work ethic that's put together by everyone and honestly offensively and defensively. So to be able to contribute that team game is what I'm excited for. And to be able to bring some of my more defensive mindset to things will be good. And I really do admire a lot of these defense defensemen in the core they have already. And I just want to be able to plug in and contribute how I can and be helpful. Thanks, Connor. Welcome to today. Thanks for having me. Here we go. That's Connor Murphy, six foot four, right shot defensive defenseman.

14:13And lead Chicago and time on ice in the PK. The black ox had the best penalty kill in the NHL could foresee a scenario where that come plays a boo shared nurse plays with Murphy wall and plays with Emberson. Maybe the otters go 11 and seven with the injury to Curtis Lazar. And reminds Japan. He is back at Edmonton, but awaiting a trade. That trade could be consummated. Who knows next 24 hours. And then it will see what Edmonton gets returning. And it may be two trades or conversely get creative. Or you're prepared to give up a good enough pick could be just one trade. And maybe it's more than one player coming back. We'll see might be worth taking a shot on another younger player. Well, I have to not quite sure how this is all going to play out at this time, but I will tell you. The guests on the show received certificates to Japanese village. It's a true celebration for the census quality ingredients and unmatched grills side experience.

15:15I got to go down on see my main man Don at Japanese village, but you're see the JV Edmonton dot CA. We will head off to a quick time out get to the otters now injury report. Work in some more of your text talk a little about what the Edmonton orders are going to do here carrying forward as well. This is what is now. It's good. The otters now injury report for James H Brown and associates Alberta injury lawyers. The heavy hitters of injury law. Trent Brown, big supporter of the Edmonton orders. The Edmonton else said the you of a golden bear. There's been some noise out of the U of A recently here. Then look into that a little bit more. And I guess maybe we shouldn't be surprised when a team wins. Just four of their final 19 conference regular season and playoff games swept into quickly. I digress for the Edmonton orders. You heard the comments from Chris nobler Curtis Lazar solid. Curtis Lazar would have lost things game secretary of the NHL base off percentage is a right shot. Wonder whether or not the otters. Look to add a center here.

16:15Doesn't necessarily have to be a right shot by the way. And just to remind our mage of honey in order for him to be traded he does have to wave is no trade clause. Okay, just a reminder on that. Stay tuned. Could foresee something happening. I think something is going to happen here. Possibly. Relatively who knows. I would think maybe something the next 24 hours. But I think it's going to happen in that front. So. We'll have to wait and see here. It's always an interesting time of year, isn't it? And let's see. Where are we going to go?

17:17I don't see others injury report for James H Brown on associates. The others without Curtis Lazar and Mattias Yanmark. Could theoretically give evidence in the opportunity on a couple players.

Adding Murphy and law would slow us down. And you can text us at 780.
