To begin the hour, Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne catch up with Seth Rorabaugh, who covers the Penguins for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, to gain insight into Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin, who also makes his way over from Pittsburgh. Is Jarry worth his contract? What should Oilers fans expect from Jarry? How consistent is his play? Rorabaugh shares the details.
The trade talk rolls on as we have The Oil... Understood for GCL Diesel hearing from both general managers who negotiated the trade. Reid and Jay fire off some audio clips from Oilers GM Stan Bowman and Penguins GM Kyle Dubas on why they finalized the deal.
Then, Max Herz, a Nashville Predators radio host for 102.5 The Game, clicks in to tell Reid and Jay all about Spencer Stastney, a left-handed defenceman the Oilers acquired from the Predators for a 2027 third-round pick earlier today. How did he make his way to the NHL? What's his playstyle? How did he fit in the Predators' lineup?
Buying or Selling for Damon Bunting closes out the hour, where Reid and Jay take a look ahead at the Oilers' upcoming road trip, listing what they think will be the goalie schedule for the team. They also note that the move has no retention on Jarry's contract.
