It's another Wednesday in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another non-event news week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed Connor McDavid's contract extension, Northlands Coliseum memories, some player retirements, and whatever else has happened over the last seven days.

There still isn't much happening in Edmonton Oilers land these days, but with Connor McDavid back in town ahead of Team Canada orientation camp, the contract talk has already started to pick back up. Not only did McDavid talk about his potential extension today, but we also heard from Elliotte Friedman on what he expects the timeline to look like for the captain's renewal. Changing gears, I also spent a few minutes talking about the upcoming Rexall Place/Northlands Coliseum demolition that is scheduled for 2026 and how it's going to be sad to see the old barn get knocked down, even though we haven't been there in years.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive with nonsense this week, and as always, the messages were as fun as ever. The voicemails are a fun way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.

It's another Wednesday in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another non-event news week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed Tyler's Ace Race, patiently waiting for Oilers news, extension rumours, and whatever else has happened over the last seven days.

There isn't much happening in Edmonton Oilers land these days, which meant a very quick recap of the news and stories that happened over the last two weeks. While we still wait for Connor McDavid's contract extension, more insiders are starting to chime in with what they think this new deal is going to look like, including John Shannon's speculation that the AAV will be lower than many expect. I also touched on a recent interview Stuart Skinner gave at NHL.com, where the Oilers' goalie spoke about being confident that the group will be able to respond after a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final loss.

It's Wednesday smack dab in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another slow news week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed some of the wild Oilers rumours, wedding season, the Matthew Tkachuk NHL '26 cover, and whatever else has happened over the last seven days.

We're smack dab in the middle of the off-season dead zone, which meant there wasn't a whole lot of Oilers news to talk about this week, but I did check off the Edmonton-related items that came across my feed. Starting with what was a busy wedding week for the Oilers, Leon Draisaitl was the big one that everyone was talking about, as many of his current and former teammates congregated in France for the big day. From there, I ran through a list of items from insane rumours to Tyler Wright ending up in Los Angeles to four Oilers being invited to Olympic orientation camp.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a pair of Righteous Sack Beatings before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quiet but mighty this week, and as always, the messages were still as fun as ever. The voicemails are a fun way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
