The Nielson Show - June 12th, 2026 - Hour 2

The absolute best insider in the business, Chris Johnston, kicked off today's show, and his phone has been ringing off the hook. We immediately dive into the atomic bomb that dropped on Oil Country: the Darnell Nurse trade request. Why is this happening now? Which teams around the league actually have the space to take on that $9.25M ticket, how much salary will Stan Bowman be forced to retain, and is there any realistic scenario where the Oilers actually win this trade? CJ has all the answers. Plus, we get the absolute latest update on the Mike Babcock league investigation—and if that hiring completely goes south, who is the next man up on Edmonton's coaching radar? We wrap up with CJ's thoughts on the Carolina Hurricanes sitting just one win away from the Stanley Cup.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   In the middle of hour two, we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. Today, Wil told us about his cycling adventure he's hitting with his wife over the weekend and we continued the Darnell Nurse trade discussion as well in this segment. This took us to the end of hour two.
