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 is 3.04 in oil country. We are going into hour number six of our free agent frenzy for Friesen Brothers. Brennan's a married man, and he's being kept here against his will for like six straight hours. I told you we were going to have fun today. It's a kidnapping, really.
Well, exactly. No ransom, though. No ransom.
Yeah, well, believe me. No, seriously, I'll... She'd be telling me, hey, you could have got it. You're going to have to pay me to take them back is what you're going to have to do. We've got Cam Moon here as well, right? There we go. Aidan Ganim. The Edmonton Oilers have just, and I know Elliot Freeman has reported that the Oilers have gone out and a five-year deal for Ryan Shea at $4 million. By the way, Ryan Shea is a very good penalty killer, I'm told. And just went plus 30. Plus 30 on the year with 35 points with the Pittsburgh Penguins. We tweeted out about it 35 minutes ago. Don't be surprised if the Edmonton Oilers had a left shot to eat possibly a guy who could defend and move the puck a bit. Well, that guy is Ryan Shea.
Now, Edmonton has not made it official yet. But Elliott Freeman did. The orders, on the other hand, have signed forward Edwards Trollmax to a one-year deal, two-way contract with an AAV of $850 million. So if you're just driving around, say you're out in rural Alberta these days and you're thinking, man, does the rain ever stop? Because it's going to affect the crops a bit. And I feel for you. Here's what's happened today. Earlier today, the Edmonton Oilers made a trade. They traded a third-round pick in 2028 to the Buffalo Sabres for goaltender Devin Levi, who in the last three years has been top ten ranked in goals saved above expectation in the American Hockey League. They also got back a seventh-round pick from the same year in 2028.
Then news trickled out that Darnell Nurse had waived his no-movement clause to go to the San Jose Sharks. Nurse has actually already done his availability with the San Jose media. The Oilers got back Shakir Makamadoulin, and a prospect, and the prospect, again, Aidan Ganim, we'll get you to look that up on the fly, last name was Sharp. Zach Sharp? Zach Sharp out of Western Michigan, the same school that the order signed Owen Michaels out of, and yes, a USHL product, Kelly Larson, with those strong USHL connections. Now, Elliot Freeman reporting, Ryan Shea, five-year deal, $4 million. OK, the Oilers have just announced Edward Tromax, who this past season in Grand Rapids had 26 goals and 42 points in 64 games and went plus 29.
Grand Rapids had a hell of a team. They were really good this year. a 6'4 winger. He played the two previous years in Kladno and was one of the top players in the Czech League. So Detroit did some good work there. They also signed Mikhail Bustava out of the Czech League the year before. Edmonton was in on him, and that was the guy that ended up knocking... Sebastian Cosa out of the goaltenders box for the playoffs. We have Cam Moon here. We have Brendan Escott. We have Aiden Ganim. And Aiden, you're going to do rapid fire the top signing so far today. Bring it, brother.
