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 Connor McDavid&#8217;s contract nervousness, Draisaitl&#8217;s love for Vasily Podkolzin, lineup questions, 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 Stuart Skinner&#8217;s position as the Oilers&#8217; starter, and whether or not he&#8217;ll play the most games in net for the team this season. While everyone believes the team will have Stu in net to start the year, the boys were a little more split on whether he&#8217;ll remain the team&#8217;s starter when all is said and done. Following the experiment down the rabbit hole, Liam looked at the goaltenders who could be available via trade if Stan Bowman decides to go that route.
Turning the podcast to the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/09/05/connor-mcdavid-confident-edmonton-oilers-right-now-question-long-term-outlook/">Connor McDavid contract situation</a>, and whether or not anyone on the show is nervous about the Oilers&#8217; ability to get a deal done. While there is definitely some nerves given how long this extension is taking to get done, the boys still remain confident that Stan Bowman and Jeff Jackson will be able to follow through on their word. Of course, the longer this drags on without having McDavid&#8217;s name on the dotted line, the louder the noise will grow around the situation.
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 a month to wait until the start of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/deep-dive-edmonton-oilers-2025-26-schedule">the 2025-26 season</a>, 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 before training camps kick off.
