It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed the Oilers' struggling bottom six, Kasperi Kapanen's return, Trent Frederic and Andrew Mangiapane being healthy scratched, and much more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what the Oilers can do to get more production out of their bottom six. Given that players like Mangiapane, Frederic, and Henrique haven't scored nearly as much as we'd hope, the question was how the team can get more out of them without just trading someone away. Whether it's giving these guys a defined role or keeping them as healthy scratches, the boys tried their best to figure out a problem the coaches have struggled with all season.

Changing gears, we looked at Kasperi Kapanen's return to the lineup and how having him back in the mix gives Kris Knoblauch more line combo options to play with. Given that Kapanen has missed the bulk of the season, it's going to be interesting to see how long he lasts beside Leon Draisaitl, since it's probably going to take a minute for him to get going. The guys also spent some time looking at Andrew Mangiapane and Trent Frederic as healthy scratches and what the decision means for both players moving forward.

Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with a round of Dan's Game. Seeing as the boys are trying to keep things fresh, Dan wanted to whip something up for the boys to give the first show of the week a little bit of a different flavour. We can't have the quizmaster on call all the time, you know? Did Dan's game work? Will it replace BM's Trivia? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Tristan Jarry's injury, the Oilers' recall of Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson, additional injury updates, line combos, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the boys on the podcast would trade a prospect like Isaac Howard to Nashville in exchange for Filip Forsberg or a legit top-six winger like him. Given that Edmonton looks to be all in on another run at the Stanley Cup, would it make sense to flip a younger player like Howard to get a more proven player? Is there another solution the fellas didn't even think about?

Shifting gears, the guys looked at the recall of Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson from the Bakersfield Condors and how the two will fit into the lineup on their second tour of duty with the NHL club. Will these two get a chance to play significant minutes? Will they be stuck playing very little, and folks wonder why they can't produce? Only time will tell. What we do know for sure is that the Oilers need more scoring from their bottom six, and it will be fascinating to see how/if at all, these two can help solve the problem.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season reaching the halfway mark, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s the way things go during the weird time between Christmas and New Year's.
