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, let's go. We got a lot of show to bring you today. Welcome, everybody. Bob Stauffer in the 880 Ched Studios, the city's south side. The Oilers back after a three-game road trip into California that Simonson score 17 goals in a span of three games and only win one game. There has been a development, if you have not heard, our top story for legacy heating and cooling home and no payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy, legacy heating and cooling. The Edmonton Oilers have acquired right shot defenseman. He is a cycle stopping physical penalty killing defensive defenseman.
Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks in an exchange for a second round draft choice in twenty twenty eight. Really, there was a confluence of events. And if you listen to Saturday's broadcast and you heard me during the NHL Hockey and Rogers broadcast, I mentioned that we would see some internal solution, some internal moves as early as Sunday. That came to fruition. The Oilers placed Andrew Mangiapane and Alec Regula on waivers Sunday at noon. Those players today at noon cleared. They've been assigned to Bakersfield. They have to play a game there. The Oilers recalled, for purposes of cap, Josh Szymanski, who I do expect will play tomorrow, and Isaac Howard. They recalled those players before they put Matthias Janmark on LTIR.
They needed to do so to capture the rookie bonuses for both Szymanski and Howard. They have subsequently made the pick. for a second round draft choice or a trade trade in the second round draft choice in 2028 and got a defensive shutdown defenseman and just now all of why is the clock saying 12 o'clock here by the way in my studio I don't know why it's saying 12 o'clock it's stuck yeah it's stuck at 12 o'clock but Just now at 4 o'clock Edmonton time, the Oilers have officially put out the trade, and they've since sent Isaac Howard back to Bakersfield. So Szymanski stays up. Connor Murphy is a Edmonton Oilers defenseman. There you go. That is the confluence of events that have occurred here. Murphy to Edmonton for a second-round pick, 50% retained by the Hawks.
Szymanski up from the minors. Maggiapane, Regula, clear. Howard up and then back down. We have... Hall of Fame defenseman Chris Pronger live at 4.15. We have Frank Cervelli from Frankly Hockey at 4.35. We have former Edmonton Oilers general manager and head coach from MACT on Mondays for contract equipment, Craig McTavish, and a live interview with Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman at 5.35.

The NHL trade deadline is Friday. I could possibly see as many as two more trades. Could be zero, but could be two. You may see a guy get moved out, which creates the flexibility to bring in something else.
Time will tell in that regard. Let's go to the orders now. Audio Vault for Direct Workwear.
