Join host Nick Zararis on this episode of Locked on Oilers for a breakdown of the opening day of Edmonton Oilers Training Camp for the 2024-2025 NHL season. Nick dives into the forward line and defensive pair combinations including Ryan Nugent Hopkins riding shotgun with Connor McDavid, Vasily Podkozlin sliding in on the fourth line as well as defenseman Ty Emberson getting first crack at playing on Darnell Nurse’s right. Nick also explains what actually matters from non game environments and why they’re one of the few glimmers into what an NHL coach and GM are actually thinking

First comment! Cant wait to see this season roll out!
I thought right away after the trade that Emberson could be like Nurse's Ekholm if things go well. I think that partly because clearly there's nobody already on the roster that works with Nurse, might as well try the new guy, but also I like the sound of a super responsible shut-down guy with Nurse as much as everyone says he needs a puck mover or good skater.
I REALLY want to see an energy/youth 4th line with Perry/Ryan only in the system to add competition. I think having at least the option of a full line of young guys is a good thing because they match up real well against other young players, because the newer generation always thinks the game a bit different. When you think of the alternative of the slow yet veteran Ryan/Perry, I'd rather have guys who can move – and you're not necessarily forced to only use them 6 minutes a night if you can develop just a little bit of 2-way responsibility. There's a distinct possibility that a young line like that could mesh and find themselves being more of a third line threat and the shut-down janitor line could move into 4th. It's stuff I'd at least try at the beginning of the season.
Nurse is honestly pretty fast
These vids are awesome, keep em coming!
