We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.

It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.

ESPN's Greg Wyshynski locked down the final segment of today's jam-packed show. We kicked things off with a global perspective, getting Greg's thoughts on Team USA's tough elimination match at the World Cup yesterday. Then, we plunged straight into deep hockey water, starting with the local scene as Wysh it analyzed Stan Bowman's aggressive free agency blueprint and the landscape-shifting decision to trade Darnell Nurse to San Jose. From there, we tackled the multi-million dollar question sweeping the league: Will the Ducks match Philadelphia's toxic $90M offer sheet, or is Leo Carlsson officially a Flyer? After a quick temperature check on the Florida Panthers' latest roster adjustments, we wrapped up the program by diving into the squared circle with Wysh's ultimate take on the latest news and storylines in the WWE.

We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Welcome inside a monumental Thursday edition of The Nielson Show on Edmonton Sports Talk! The hockey world was turned completely upside down yesterday, and the shockwaves are still rattling through Alberta.

With Dusty away, the legendary Dave Jamieson steps back into the captain's chair to anchor a massive, high-velocity morning of reaction. The phones are lighting up, the text board is melting down, and the fellas are here to process an absolute whirlwind of news.

We got right into today's show with Morning Announcements for The Haddies Golf Shop to recap all the major headlines from yesterday.

After the break, we got into Offseason, What Offseason presented by GCL Diesel. In this segment, we touched on all the Oilers moves from yesterday and this brought us to the end of hour one.

Bruce Boudreau joined us off the top today to break down the Oilers' massive free-agency moves. We started with the Darnell Nurse situation, dove into what defenseman Ryan Shea brings to the blue line, and evaluated the recent goaltending shakeups and the Kasperi Kapanen extension. We also flipped the script to look at general manager Stan Bowman's restrained approach, discussing why sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make. Finally, we cruised around the rest of the NHL, tracking the Toronto Maple Leafs' busy afternoon and catching up on the biggest signings from across the league.

It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

After the break, we got into everyone's beefs from the week. As always, the boys provided some very relatable beefs.

Reid Wilkins capped off hour two with his thoughts on all the Oilers did yesterday in free agency.
