The Nielson Show - June 23rd, 2026 - Hour 2

Former NHLer Jamie McLennan joined the show out of the gate to break down a chaotic day in Edmonton. We started with Noodles' initial reactions to the Oilers locking up Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson. From there, we turned our attention to today's massive media availability, where Mike Babcock is expected to be introduced as the next head coach. What does the term look like on a Babcock deal? With these roster moves locked in, what is Stan Bowman's next play—and what would a realistic return look like in a Darnell Nurse trade? Plus, we head out East to look at the fallout in Ottawa after the blockbuster Brady Tkachuk trade, and whether the Florida Panthers have the chips to pull off a deal for Connor Hellebuyck.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, we got into Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All. Some pretty solid confessions from the boys this week.   Then to cap off hour two, we got into Offseason, What Offseason presented by GCL Diesel to read the nasties Darnell Nurse trade proposals.
