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. Yes, welcome back, everybody. How many is that so far in the last? There's only been seven calls that have pulled me off the air here so far. You having fun? This has been a hell of a lot more fun than the last couple of years, let me tell you. Yes. Yes. All right. And I want to reiterate the point that Stan Bowman, who we believe will join us sometime around 345 for a live 1v1 interview. What we're probably going to do here, Jane, what we initially planned was to go from 10 till 2 and then again from 5 to 6. We will go 10 to 4, take a break for an hour and then come back 5 to 6 and work on a couple other guests.
But we believe we're going to have Stan Bowman at 345. We've got Brendan Eskite here. We've got Cam Moon here. We've got Aidan Ganim. Let's get to the other specific moves. The big trade, Darnell Nurse without retention to the San Jose Sharks. Edmonton gets back defenseman Shakir Makhamedoulin, who was a restricted free agent, made a million bucks last year. and a prospect by the name of Zach Sharp that Stan Bowman has known for years. We talked about the fact that Zach has accumulated some of the Chicago area kids, Midwest kids much more comfortable in playing in other parts of the country. They're in travel tournaments. They travel a lot to Canada. Not a big issue for those kids. That's why you get kids out of Western Michigan signing sometimes.
A little bit harder to get the kids out of the Boston area as though the Oilers didn't get Quinn Hudson. So that was the trade. They then used that cap space to go out and sign Ryan Shea, who Stan Bowman drafted second in time on ice in the penalty kill for Pittsburgh last season. Oh, by the way, had 30 points and went plus or 35 points and went plus 35. Earlier in the day, acquired Devin Levi to take a shot on a younger goalie prospect. A little bit undersized, really athletic, a little busy. And but nonetheless, a guy that's got a huge upside, had great advanced analytics. with the Buffalo Sabres farm team in Roche. That's what they call Rochester, Roche. So those were the big moves so far. They've also signed an American League guy, and we'll get Aiden to bring that up.
And he's quickly checking out his phone on the fly here, Aiden Ganim, as we go into NHL today. I'll tell you, elite promotional marketing, Royal Pizza, The folks at... Friesen Brothers. Friesen Brothers. They got their money's worth today. And you guys... A little extra time. You guys got royal pizza, but you're not making any more money for the extra two hours today, just so you know. Getting paid 60 minutes an hour. Yes. You guys need new agents. The prospect that the owners signed from the Detroit Red Wings organization.
Well, his name is Edwards Trollmox to a one-year, two-way contract, 850,000 AAV. And he had a good year last year.
So we do not believe the owners are done.
What are the recent moves made by the Edmonton Oilers?
I think there's a distinct possibility. They're light up for me. They're down one right winger. So either it's a center that can play right wing, which you heard Stan Bowman say, there's nobody out there like that right now. Now, there's an obvious guy that was part of the team last year, and that's Kaepernick. He had a pretty good playoff. He actually had a really good playoff.
Who did the Oilers acquire in the Darnell Nurse trade?
He's fast. He's had a history of Babcock. Yay or nay, would you bring him back, Campbell? Absolutely.
Yeah, I like. What would the number be? I don't know. I don't know. I can't tell you the number, but I would. Would I want him back? Absolutely. I'd want him back.
You'd have to figure it'd be mid twos based on. Yeah. Right. That's kind of what I was thinking somewhere in that. I mean, if you can get him at two, three, that'd be nice. But two, five makes some sense, too.
Yeah.
Yeah. But I'd have him back all day.
Yeah, and I think we're going to need to wait and see here. And so I'm going to ask the listeners, and you can text us on the Ashley Fine Forest text line at 780-451-8800. Bob is going through six until seven, something you're looking at.
