Knoblauch Extended, Oilers Add Ingram, and Storylines From Training Camp

It'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's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' trade for Connor Ingram, Jake Walman's extension talks, line combos, and much more.

We had some

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what has been the biggest surprise through training camp and the pre-season. From the way Alec Regula is potentially earning a spot despite low expectations heading into camp to Bowman trading for Connor Ingram to Noah Philp earning his spot, there are a handful of stories that popped up throughout the last few weeks that the boys may not have expected.

Changing gears, we did a deeper dive on the Oilers' Connor Ingram trade and how it was a nice piece of work by Stan Bowman after so many people freaked out when the goalie passed through waivers. After clearing waivers, Stan Bowman turned around with a future considerations trade to land the goaltender at 40% retained from the Utah Mammoth, which added a valuable piece to the depth chart without having to pay anything to get it. The guys also discussed Kris Knoblauch signing a three-year extension with the Oilers, and how it is a well-deserved contract for one of the winningest coaches at this juncture in his NHL career.

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 only a few days left to wait until the start of the 2025-26 season, 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 at this stage of the pre-season.
