The SuperFan Podcast – Episode 23 – Dennis King
Joined by Dennis King (@DKingBH) to talk Oilers, the trade deadline and the direction the club appears to be heading with Ken Holland as general manager. We looked at the current roster construction, where the deficiencies have been, and what we’re expecting to happen this coming off-season. We also looked at the North division, how the Oilers compare with the Leafs, Canadiens and Jets and how things could shake out in the playoffs. Pretty packed show with lots of great insight from D

31 Thoughts: Why Taylor Hall may be more than a rental for Bruins
• Will Hall stick in Boston long term? • Jets considered at least one big deadline deal • Maple Leafs go all in Taylor Hall confirmed a lot of things on Tuesday. Foremost is the fact he wanted to be a Boston Bruin. During his first foray into unrestricted free agency, Hall flirted with Boston. The Bruins were interested, but told him they’d have to make moves before they could commit to him. Hall wasn’t comfortable with the idea of waiting, and wanted to lock in his next NHL home. So

Edmonton Oilers: Breaking down their one and only trade

OILERS NOTES: Evan Bouchard getting farther down defence depth ladder
When Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland traded for another defenceman Dmitry Kulikov Monday, it’s unlikely best prospect Evan Bouchard was pumped, even if Bouchard is a team player because that’s what hockey’s all about. Read More

Far different trade deadline vibe for Edmonton Oilers this year from 2020
At the 2020 trade deadline, the Edmonton Oiler players were hanging around a hotel in Anaheim, the team in buyer/seller mode with the adds of defenceman Mike Green and wingers Andreas Athanasiou and Tyler Ennis for four draft picks and the surprising subtraction of crestfallen Sam Gagner who was on the phone to his wife Rachel to say “guess what, I’m going to Detroit.” Read More

Dmitry Kulikov Adds Depth To Inexperienced Left Defense
The Edmonton Oilers knew back in the fall that defenseman Oscar Klefbom would miss the entire 2021-22 NHL season due to injury. The bet GM Ken Holland made was that young defender Caleb Jones would be able to jump up and handle a top-four role behind Darnell Nurse. It was a decent bet, but in the mind of the Oilers it hasn’t panned out. Ditto for William Lagesson, who emerged and played with Adam Larsson for a stretch before cooling off in recent weeks. The lack of a steady, veteran defensema

I suspect you’ve heard or read those comments or some similar facsimiles often in recent years. It was valid in 2019 and 2020 when the OIlers were 23rd and 20th in 5×5 goals for, but it is not accurate this season. The Oilers are seventh in the NHL in goals for at 5×5 with 87. Here are the six teams ahead of them: Washington (104), Colorado (99), Toronto (96), Vegas (93), New Y
