Here you go. If only Bob were here to hear the tragically hit played on this show. Doesn't happen very often. Hey, uh do I have to turn into my Canadian card, by the way? Because I like the Tragically Hip. Bob loves the hip, right? The fact that I just like them, I'll listen to the music any time. But I don't just you know, I don't have that same Bob kind of love for them, but nonetheless. Great way to start the show today. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Brent Griffith sitting in for Bob Soffer, who's away this week, allegedly. I'll explain more in a minute. And uh Bob's away next week, allegedly, as well. Bob, for I don't know, the last couple of months has been talking about the fact that you know what?

Bryn Griffiths 2:19

Watch out for this kid, Isaac Howard, because the oilers have got their You know, their eyes on him. This is the kind of guy they want to get on this hockey team. But there's w one problem at that point. He was kind of Tampa Bay property.

Why was Isaac Howard originally a Tampa Bay prospect and how did Edmonton acquire him?

Bryn Griffiths 2:31

At least they drafted him. He never signed with them, but his rights were gonna be up for negotiation and grabs. Nonetheless, the Oilers have been trying to make a deal, offered up a first round pick, we were told. Bob even suggested that. That wasn't quite enough to make the move. And then of course. Around 10 to 8 last night. Edmonton Ollers announcing that they acquired forward Isaac Howard from the Tampa Bay Lightning. I was a little surprised by the exchange. Forward Sam O'Reilly going back the other way. And the more I thought about it through the evening, and I did talk to Bob last night, and we will hear from Bob coming up at 4 30 today because, you know, he's a like I said, he's been talking about it, so let's get him on to get his reaction to it.

Bryn Griffiths 3:12

But Sam O'Reilly going the other way. I was actually I was a little surprised, but maybe a little disappointed because I like talking to Sam O'Reilly when we had a chance. And I thought he was going to fit in very well here. But you know what? This is a true hockey trade. Tampa Bay Lightning get a player that they really wanted and the Edmonton Orders get a player that they really want at this particular point. So they make the deal and it happens. We're going to check in with Brendan Escott coming up in a couple moments. We're actually gonna hear from Isaac Howard. You can call him Ike by the way. That's uh he'd rather go by Ike, but uh nonetheless, had a chance to talk to him a couple of hours ago and I like this kid.

Bryn Griffiths 3:52

Very enthusiastic. He's pumped up about coming here too, you know. So hey, any anybody wants to be, you know, enthused and step into the lineup and see what you can do for the Edmonton Oilers? over that next step to become a Stanley Cup champion. I'm all for it. And we continue our series of checking with the other teams in Canada to see how they felt about their past season, how they feel about their future season, and maybe uh maybe how things will have gone after the draft with free agency.
