The Oil Stream is now a daily show featuring a rotation of hosts including Dustin Nielson, Joaquin Gage, YouTube Trev, and Benny Thomson. It will be a combination of 3 of those 4 hosts with each show which leads to today's lineup of Dusty, Gager, and Benny as they are in the studio from Noon to 1 PM talking everything Oilers as training camp approaches. With the season getting closer, the boys take a look at one of the biggest questions on the Oilers blue line: Could Jake Walman or Ryan Shea take over Mattias Ekholm's role this season? With Ekholm's status creating questions on the back end, who could step up and take on those important minutes? Joaquin Gage also brings his 3 Story Lines heading into Oilers training camp, highlighting the biggest questions, players, and storylines he'll be watching as Edmonton gets set for the new season. The boys also dive into what the Oilers could look like under new head coach Mike Babcock. What will change stylistically?
