Description

Brock Seguin is joined by Zach Laing (Oilers Nation) to break down the Edmonton Oilers’ slow start — and why fantasy managers shouldn’t panic just yet on Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, or Evan Bouchard.


The guys dive into the numbers behind Edmonton’s early struggles:


  • Why McDavid’s shot volume and finishing luck are due for a rebound
  • Draisaitl’s unsustainably high shooting percentage and low assist totals
  • Why Bouchard’s “ugly turnovers” are overshadowing elite underlying metrics
  • How the Oilers’ power play (–0.87 goals below expected per game) has quietly dragged everyone’s fantasy value down


They also touch on Stuart Skinner’s outlook as a buy-low goalie target and how the upcoming schedule could spark an Edmonton turnaround.


Plus, Brock opens the show with the latest News & Notes from around the NHL — including injuries to Adin Hill, Mark Stone, and Anze Kopitar — before dropping Brock’s Lock of the Day: Connor Garland over 2.5 shots on goal (3-0 on the season and counting).


If you’ve got Oilers on your fantasy roster, this is the deep-dive episode you need to reset expectations heading into Week 3 of the Fantasy Hockey season.
