Today, we start my annual countdown of Edmonton Oilers prospects on Substack. We cover #20 through #16. While the organization isn't very deep, the improvements in the last year by Jeff Jackson and Stan Bowman are noticeable. Hope you enjoy. open.substack.com/pub/bcurlock...

This should go over like a lead balloon, but I think what Kris Knoblauch gets to do with his staff will have more impact than any UFA they sign this Summer. I will now log off.

If the Oilers moved Arvidsson for cap space and otherwise just sat quiet on July 1, I’d be pretty happy.

For those of you who were deep into a 5 day weekend and just coming out the fog to realize the NHL draft happened, I have it covered on what the Oilers did. Read it and go get some greasy food in ya. bcurlock.substack.com/p/edmonton-o...

Personal update: today my time at @oilersnation.bsky.social comes to an end. Was my choice and it was very tough. I owe a lot to @laing.bsky.social and @baggedmilk.bsky.social who gave me a chance and guided me along the way. The people at ON are passionate about their craft. I’ll miss that. 1/2

Wrote about Matthew Savoie and what he could bring to the Oilers. Perhaps as soon as today.

Clattenburg has added 3 points today with a plus four. He’s now surpassed his season high in points. He has two months remaining in the season.

Me again. The top 10 this time.

I’m a Bills fan. I’m sad. Read my article. It’ll help the healing process. oilersnation.com/news/mid-sea...

It’s me!

I've seen chatter about who was responsible for the Holloway/Broberg mess. For whatever reason Jay Woodcroft's name gets mentioned. I can assign fault to Woodcroft for the Kesselring deal since he chose Desharnais. The other two are squarely on Holland. Read here⬇️ oilersnation.com/news/philip-...
