Remembering Robin Brownlee, the Oilers' win streak, and Leon Draisaitl's deal

Oilersnation Radio

It's a Friday afternoon, the Oilers picked up their ninth straight win, and that means there's plenty to talk about on this week's episode of Oilersnation Radio.

Kicking off the pod, we started with a tribute to Robin Brownlee, who tragically passed away yesterday after suffering a heart attack. For everyone who knew him, Brownlee was a staple in the Edmonton sports scene, and no longer being able to read his thoughts on what's happening in the league is a painful reality. Changing gears, Tyler wanted to know when the boys thought the Oilers might lose their next game, and unsurprisingly, the answers he got were incredibly biased. Changing gears, we offered up a list of players who have really contributed to the Oilers' win streak and how the team is getting contributions from throughout the lineup that's really helping to push the streak along. From there, we looked at Leon Draisaitl's next contract and discussed whether or not we would be willing to accept a shorter-term deal if it kept him in Edmonton. The answer? Obviously yes. We also spent some time talking about Elvis Merzlikins after the Columbus goaltender basically asked for a trade without specifically asking for a trade. With that in mind, would you move Jack Campbell+ for the beleaguered Blue Jacket? Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a round of Ask the Idiots to field your questions and Hot and Cold performers to recap the week.
