Hey, it's Bob Stoffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime.
Breaking my heart, Johnny Maybe I'm grieving But if you wanna leave, take good care. We have a lot of nice things to wear. Then a lot of nice things turned Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world. It's hard to get by
Just a pause. Great song. Hoping it's not a uh wild world tonight here at Rogers Place. As the Minnesota Wild, the team, you know, Edmonton, they've had success against teams like Pittsburgh. They get up to play Sidney Crosby and of Jenny Melkin, and the Edmonton Oilers have owned the Penguins over the last several years to the tune of seven straight victories and thirty seven to nine in goals for against. But Minnesota has been a tough out. They've got a Real good top four defense. And one of the reasons, you know, you take a look just at The trajectory of organizations and give the wild and Bill Guerrin their GM credit. He uh he made the difficult decision to buy out uh Zach Price and Ryan Souter a number of years ago.
They got 14.7 million dollars in dead cap space. But Jonas Brodeen, think back to that 2011 NHL draft. The Otters got Nugent Hopkins, but that was also the year they got Oscar Kleftbaum. And I bring I think of Kleftbaum every time. Tommy Oders by Brodean. Those two were best friends. Brodeen's at eight hundred and twenty games in the NHL. And unfortunately Oscar didn't get over four hundred. And that was a massive loss for Eventon. Ultimately, it cost him a couple first round picks because that was the acquisition cost to go get Matias Eckholm. It's been fantastic. But uh, you know, you you hit on a nineteenth overall pick in terms of Oscar Clefbaum, you don't get to see uh it fully out as his career was cut short due

We're not expecting him back on Saturday and it's taking a little bit longer than we thought.
