It&#8217;s Wednesday smack dab in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/category/better-lait-than-never">Better Lait Than Never</a> is ready to recap what was another slow news week in Edmonton.

With not much going on around the NHL these days, I started this week&#8217;s podcast with a trip to the rumour mill after <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/07/29/edmonton-oilers-extensions-done-connor-mcdavid-jake-walman-mattias-ekholm-vasily-podkolzin-kris-knoblauch-by-august/">Bob Stauffer speculated</a> on Oilers Now that the Oilers could be getting some significant business done over the next month. Of course, nothing Bob said is written in stone, but that doesn&#8217;t mean I wasn&#8217;t still able to have some fun with the rumours. Sticking with contract extensions, I ran through the latest rumblings about Connor McDavid&#8217;s upcoming extension, including potential dollar and term numbers from Frank Seravalli.
Finally, I wrapped up this week&#8217;s episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about shrinkflation before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quieter this week, but the messages were still as fun as ever. As always, the voicemails are a fun 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&#8217;s episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
