The Reid Wilkins Show with Jay Milne

The Oilers have locked up two veteran pieces for the next five years: Jason Dickinson and Connor Murphy. Each contract has a full no-movement clause for the first three seasons, which becomes a modified no-trade clause in the final two years...

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne share their initial thoughts on each signing, clicking into the online press conference to hear from both Murphy and Dickinson. What do they think about Mike Babcock potentially coming to Edmonton? Why did they want to re-sign with the Oilers? Can players evolve their game late in their career?

The fellas open up a deeper debate as they chat specifically about no-movement clauses and how they're impacting the league. Should players be allowed to add those clauses to their contracts? Are these clauses allowing players to control the NHL? Reid, Jay and producer Zachary 'Koob' Kubusch debate!

Tons of weekend action to recap and review with Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne here to share their initial thoughts on the Jason Dickinson and Connor Murphy extensions before breaking down the Elks' 32-29 overtime victory against the Alouettes! They fire off some audio clips from Dickinson and Murphy, while getting to Elks QB Cody Fajardo as well!

With the Elks starting 2-0 for the first time since 2019, the boys have a lot to say about the big victory, which saw Davis Alexander suffer the first regular-season loss of his career! Who played well? How did the Elks come back from a 13-point deficit? Plus, Jay presents PT.2 of Elks Do Donair! This week features Justin Rankin, Javon Leake and HC Mark Kilam

In the opening hour, we also introduce the Off-Topic Topic to chat about everybody's Father's Day, before Jay places a CFL-centric bet for his Play of the Day! Tons of fan reaction, input and questions fill the gaps!

It's Reid Wilkins and Zach Kubusch taking you into the weekend! The fellas tee up tomorrow's home opener for the Elks vs the Alouettes! What would be a successful outcome for Edmonton? They also share their take on some NHL headlines and stories...

Opening things up, the boys discuss some of the lowest-scoring games in Grey Cup history: that conversation stems from a fan-submitted comment. They then revisit a topic they had about whether or not Jonathan Toews is overrated... Who would be the most overrated player in modern-day NHL history?

Kubusch then tests Reid with the Words of the Day for the Edmonton Public Library to close things out!

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne hit the airwaves for the first half-hour before Jay has to dip away... During the hour, we connect with two great guests: former CFL running back, Canadian Olympian Jesse Lumsden and EE alum Jed Roberts!

Lumsden stops by to chat about his career in the CFL. What was his path in the league like? What does he remember about the time he spent sporting Edmonton’s legendary threads? How much of the CFL has he caught this season? What’s keeping him busy?

Once Milner steps out, producer Zachary 'Koob' Kubusch hops in on the fun to open a discussion with Reid Wilkins regarding Jonathan Toews and his legacy. Was he REALLY that good?

Later on, Jed Roberts makes an appearance to chat about some amazing injury stories. He pivots to take a peek at tomorrow's huge home opener for the Elks. And is he following Canada's play at the World Cup?

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne begin the show by reviewing and summarizing their thoughts on Canada's gigantic 6-0 victory against Qatar... How big was the win, REALLY? What was it like watching the game live, and what did they feel like for the rest of the day following the match?

Ben Thomson then gets into the mix for Benny’s Blind Rankings! Today he gets Reid and Jay to pick their all-time World Cup jerseys... But get this: they have to pick from eight random jerseys all hand-picked by Benny. They go one-by-one, not knowing what's up next. No redos!

With Week 3 in the CFL kicking off tonight, Jay places some dough on the line for tonight's Tiger-Cats/Lions clash! Of course, we have The Afternoon Headlines and the Off-Topic Topic as well!

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne continue their Canada/Qatar watchalong as the fellas witness Canada picking up its first-ever World Cup victory. Of course, the boys also get into the Oilers headlines, taking a look at the Mike Babcock situation... Who might Babcock bring in as an assistant? What expectations should we have for him changing as a person? Will he treat his players fairly?

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne expand the conversation about Canada's victory to pinpoint the weight of this monumental moment; not only in Canadian soccer history but also in Canadian sporting history... Ismael Kone also suffered an injury in the second half and needed some help to get off the field. Wilkins and Milne describe the impact of his absence before looking ahead to Switzerland...

Words of the Day for the Edmonton Public Library is the final segment for today. That's where Reid faces a two-word spelling bee crafted by Jay! 

We have a live watchalong for the full second hour of the show as Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne paint the picture of what's happening on the pitch... Canada went up 3-0 before halftime, with the boys offering their live reaction to every moment.

From free kicks to red cards and clutch moments, Reid and Jay express their excitement, anxiety and overall perspective on the contest. Why were certain things called that way? What are fans of the show seeing? How much does this game mean in Canadian soccer history?

They share some laughs as they dissect the full Rolodex of events that transpired on the field!

Mike Babcock has been cleared by the NHL to return to the bench and coach once again... Are the Edmonton Oilers ready to offer him a contract?

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne explore the NHL's investigation into Mike Babcock, sharing key points from the league's statement released this morning. How soon could we expect to see a potential Babcock press conference with the Oilers? Plus, Connor Ungar has re-upped with the team... What does that mean moving forward?

To preview the Canada/Qatar contest, former Canadian national player and former coach of the Edmonton Drillers, Ross Ongaro, phones in for a brief segment. Is he ready for today? What does he remember about his time playing for Canada?

We have tons of fun discussing the big match as the boys go back and forth with the Nasties to introduce the Off-Topic Topic and Jay's Play of the Day!

From the Blue Jays and Red Sox, Uzbekistan and Colombia in action, and much more, Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne sink their teeth into various topics during the final hour of today's show!

Greg Buchanan from the World Professional Chuckwagon Association has his weekly hit on the show. He tells us all about the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede before shifting to the Wainwright Stampede, which gets underway this week!

For a moment, we dive into some flag football news before debating some basketball fashion! Edmonton Public Library's Words of the Day seals the deal on today's show!

31 of 32 NHL teams have a head coach... the only team without one: the Edmonton Oilers...

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne talk about all things Oilers and NHL, discussing the hiring of Ryan Craig in Vegas and Jim Hiller in Toronto. How does this affect the Oilers' head coaching hunt? Are they waiting for the NHL to wrap up their investigation into Mike Babcock? Where might they go if they can't get Babcock to Edmonton?

Buying or Selling, the boys let the Nasties weigh in on the conversation as Reid and Jay probe into the Rivercree Inbox and YouTube Nasty Chat! Jay also has his Play of the Day for Play Alberta, putting some cash on the World Cup while the fellas share some updates on the Elks and their injury report.
