Oilers Acquire Connor Murphy, Bowman Speaks | The Reid Wilkins Show | 03-02-26

Описание: Tons of Oilers news to dive into with the Oilers acquiring Connor Murphy from the Blackhawks, GM Stan Bowman addressing the media, some other roster movement, Mattias Janmark moving to LTIR, and Andrew Mangiapane and Alec Regula being assigned to the Condors.

Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne get right into it, sharing various facts surrounding Connor Murphy and his time in Chicago as they give their initial takes on the move. Will he make a positive impact on the Oilers' defence? Is he the right guy? Where will he fit in the lineup? Who will play with him, and who comes out?

They run some audio bites from Oilers GM Stan Bowman and HC Kris Knoblauch, who answered media questions at Rogers Place this morning. What will the lineup look like tomorrow? What is Bowman's plan for the deadline? What does the GM think of his team's recent play?

Wilkins was down at Rogers Place for Bowman's presser, summarizing the key points of all the notable interviews from around the rink. He dives into Bowman's availability with co-host Jay Milne, recapping the club's unsuccessful three-game California swing. Who should start tomorrow against the Senators? What is missing from this team?

We get into it all, with nothing but Oilers debate, discussion, trade talk and analysis throughout the show! Share your thoughts on the team! Comments, concerns, wishes, and anything else are welcomed as the boys tackle the inbox to answer multiple fan questions.

Longtime Pandas hockey head coach Howie Draper has officially announced his retirement. Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne connect with him to recap his coaching career, asking him about his favourite memory coaching for the U of A. And which players stood out to him during his time with the Pandas? Draper also coached for Team Canada's women's World Junior Championship squad, having played for the Golden Bears as well.
