It&#8217;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&#8217;s podcast, the fellas discussed bubble players, winning jobs at camp, PTOs, and much more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/07/18/oilersnation-radio-edmonton-oilers-rumours-coaching-staff-2025-25-nhl-schedule/">ONR</a> with a delicious debate about the Oilers&#8217; roster and whether any players who played last year could find themselves on the bubble. While many slots on the roster are likely written in ink, we looked at the fourth line and wondered if either of Mattias Janmark or Kasperi Kapanen could get beat out for a job. With plenty of competition fighting for those jobs, it&#8217;s fair to ask if any of the veterans are at risk of losing a spot.
Changing gears, the guys walked through the little Oilers news that&#8217;s happened over the last week, including some minor league signings in Bakersfield, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/08/12/numbers-havent-been-exchanged-edmonton-oilers-connor-mcdavid-contract-extension/">Connor McDavid&#8217;s extension</a>, and Andrew Mangiapane&#8217;s new baby. And while there isn&#8217;t much happening right now, that didn&#8217;t stop the boys from yammering on about these limited items anyway. Even so, the big news everyone is waiting for is <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/08/14/daily-faceoff-mcdavid-sign-extension-before-regular-season/">when Connor McDavid will sign his extension</a>, and even though it&#8217;s taking longer than we may hope, there&#8217;s still no need to be concerned about having No. 97 back.
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 just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about an array of topics that were Oilers-related or not at all, but that’s what happens in August.
