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. All right, welcome back, everybody. It's 5.34 in oil country. Still to come on the show, we will hook up with Edmonton Oil Kings head coach, former Edmonton Oilers captain Jason Smith. His team made an interesting trade today. We'll talk a bit about that. We'll tell you, Royal Pizza, pizza passed in so much more. Edmonton owned and operated for over 55 plus years. For a menu and a list of their 15 Edmonton area locations, visit royalpizza.ca, where the stopper recommendation is the Mediterranean chicken. I'd like to tell you that Royal Pizza has grown from three Edmonton-area locations to 15 over the last 28 years or so because of the advertising that they've done with yours truly.
But that would be a lie. It's because they have great pizza.
What big news set up the interview with Oil Kings coach Jason Smith?
They have great product. It is Royal Pizza, Edmonton-owned and operated. Normally on Mondays, we've got the Condors report. Farm report brought to you by Equus, Alberta's largest power co-op. Choose community, choose Equus at equs.ca. We'll endeavor to get you Keith Gretzky over the next couple days. He's in town with the pro meetings. Modern Measure, to find fit or to find style or to find you right in the heart of Ice District and Edmonton Tower. Modern Measure, if they can make me look good, imagine what they can do to you. And let's go to this day in order's history. A little bit early. Jason Smith again today at 545. Your call's coming up in a couple moments' time.
What local sponsors and show rundowns are mentioned at the start of the episode?
But this day in order's history for New West Travel. Again, we'll see everybody tonight from New West Travel out at Pub 1905 for our launch event for Nashville. New West Travel, your local travel experts. What do you got, Mr. Aidan Gannon?
Well, on this day in 1998, the Oilers trade Jason Arnott and Brian Muir to the Devils for Bill Guerin and Valerie Zelopukhin. Guerin would help lead the Oilers to the conference semifinals against Dallas that year where they lost the series four games to one.
Came back against Colorado from 3-1 down after Cujo gave up one goal against a 93 shots on goal in games 5, 6, and 7. Brennan Escott has inside SportsCenter 605. What's he got shaking tonight there, Aiden?
Coming up at 635, he'll be talking to Willie Donick from the Nashville Predators. He's their radio play-by-play man. At 705, Dalton Wasserman. He is going to talk a little NFL. And at 735, Scott Edwards, the head coach of the Pandas basketball team.
All right. Let's go back into the River Creek Resort Casino hotline at 780-451-8800. And I think patiently waiting is Jacob. Jacob, how are you doing? Jacob, you still there? Doing pretty good.
Yeah, I'm still here. All right. What do you got for us? I don't have an exact player in mind, but my wish list item for the team would probably be a play-driving third-line center who's right-handed. Yeah, there's not a lot of those guys out there in the league, are there? It's going to be expensive, but I mean, first line, not broken, don't fix it. Second line, you have Podkolzin and Dreisaitl, that's fine. You can have Savoy and Roslevic rotating on the right-hand side. And then, yeah, if you get a third-line center who's right-handed, can drive a play, and then the other guys don't have to worry, and that'll... It's easier said than done.
I mean, like, Nicola Waugh's got a year left in Toronto, but the Leafs are going for it. They don't think they're out of it at this time. There's a third-line right-shot center that's got some size that's put up third-line numbers in the course of his NHL career. But they traded Mitch Marner for him. You're not getting him, right? No, we're not getting that.
That would be a good template, though. I would go for a player like that, but not necessarily him because no way is he available.
I don't know if Tree's going to do something with him, even if they fall out of it. I don't even know what's going to happen. In fact, I think Toronto's going to make the playoffs, so it's a moot point.
