There's nothing better than a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to guide you through the final hours of the work week with an hour of Oilers talk.

The guys kicked off this week's episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not Noah Philp will be on the Oilers' opening night roster. With Derek Ryan listed as day-to-day, the door is open for Philp to slide into that 4C spot, but is that the right decision for night one? There's also an argument to be made about sending Philp to the Condors and letting him play big minutes in the AHL.

Changing gears, we looked at the price of Oilers jerseys after a user on Reddit noted that you can buy a new jersey and spend an additional $10 to get their sponsor patch on the front. While the guys were talking about jersey prices, Tyler interrupted the conversation by chatting about a new post on Connor McDavid's Instagram account that implies he will be doing some kind of food play.

Next up, the guys spent a few minutes looking at the Jeremy Swayman contract situation in Boston and wondered how/if that will impact future negotiations with Stuart Skinner here in Edmonton. Seeing as Swayman and Skinner are basically the same age, wouldn't a massive contract for the former in Boston lead to one for Stu here in Edmonton?

Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. With the pre-season kickoff just around the corner, the boys had plenty to talk about this week for the first time in forever. Needless to say, this week's episode probably had the most hockey talk that we've had in a while, and it feels good to know that the NHL is almost back for another season.
