Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. Free agent frenzy, which will take place tomorrow. That is Wednesday from 10 until 2 o'clock. You can join myself, Cam Moon, Aidan Ganim, Brendan Escott for a full four hours. We'll have guest hits with the likes of Brian Lawton and John Shannon and Jack Michaels and Al May during the course of the day. And if the Edmonton winners end up signing anybody and we are waiting for, you know, there's another part of the storyline here and that involves Darnell Nurse and a trade request. Of course, Nurse is not the only one out there that has made a trade request. We're hearing rumblings about Zach Wierenski.
Elliot Friedman's going to update us on that on today's show, along with Jason Robertson, along, well, there's a lot going on, Dylan Larkin as well. And we'll also talk today, as I mentioned, to former NHL executive player, number one pick of the 1983 NHL entry draft. He turned 61 yesterday. Brian Lott will join us as well. And we're going to give you some open line time today at 530. We will tell you that the River Cree Resort and Casino hotline is 780-451-8800.

He is at Aidan Ganim underscore. We're also on Instagram.
What is the latest on Darnell Nurse's trade request?
You can find us at Oilers underscore now underscore. The owners' development camp started today, a fair amount of on-ice testing taking place. We are going to hear from Rudolph Burris-Collins probably in the next segment. He's certainly one of the focal parts. But at this time, we'll tell you our top story for legacy heating and cooling home with no payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy, legacy heating and cooling. And the owners are in a situation where we're sort of in a holding pattern as to what Edmonton can do. And again, that is in part due to the Darnell Nurse trade request. And I think for a lot of the fans out there, they kind of get it. They kind of understand it.
Which teams are rumored to be interested in Darnell Nurse?
Nurse, of course, the three teams rumored to have been on Nurse's list were the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Boston Bruins. And, you know, some obvious connections there, Pittsburgh Penguins, uh look no further than the general manager of the pittsburgh penguins kyle dubas who is nurses gm with the susie marie greyhounds philadelphia darn and i'll spend some time growing up there as a kid and uh you know boston don't don't really know much about uh you know if there's a specific interest as to how that would potentially work uh and i think So there is a possibility, I suppose, it could move to one of those three teams. There is a possibility that the Oilers and Nurse are forced to look at more teams.
And it's believed that San Jose would make a lot of sense as well for Darnell Nurse. They're looking to add on the defensive end. And what about a team like the Anaheim Ducks? So is the West Coast out? Well, time will tell in that regard.
What other players are in the mix for trades this Free Agency?
But again, there are other players in the mix. And yesterday on Oilers Now, we're going to get right to this. We'll head into the Oilers Now Audio Vault for direct work.
