I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime.

On the Friday edition of Oilers Now.

Brought to you by our title sponsor, World of Spas.

We've got Aidan Ganim, Derek Scott, Kellen Kennedy helping us out.

This is often an interesting time of the year, especially for teams that are rebuilding through the NHL draft.

It's the NHL Combine taking place as we speak in Buffalo, New York.

we'll get a couple different perspectives.

We are going to talk to Sportsnet and the pro hockey groups, Jason Buchla, about his latest rankings and how things are shaking down.

And you're going to say, but Stoff, that has nothing to do with the Edmonton Oilers.

Well, at this time, it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Edmonton Oilers.

So we'll talk to Jason Buchla from Sportsnet.

Jerry Johanson from the Sports Corporation today at 435.

We'll talk about

Sort of the changing complexion of how players get graded.

We had two primary situations specific to Gavin McKenna.

And Keaton Verhoff and Jerry represents Verhoff, two players that left the WHL, went to the NCAA, did not dominate the NCAA.

And remarkably, there are people that don't seem to fundamentally understand that playing against 21- to 24-year-old players as opposed to playing against 16- to 19-year-olds is a completely different task.

But we'll have an animated discussion later.

about the process that takes place at the Combine, which includes the interviews and what sort of coaching goes on for that as well.

And then NHL executive legend Brian Burke for our friends at Ultrashine today at 535.
