Kyle Schwarber. Alec Bohm. Bryce Harper. Cristopher Sanchez. In yet another series win under Don Mattingly against the Rockies, the reborn Phillies featured many heroes over the weekend. But who was the star of the show? John Stolnis, Liz Roscher and Justin Klugh peruse those questions and wonder whether Justin Crawford possesses the gift of "clutch." Also, they make fun of the Mets a little.

Twenty months. Dozens of roster decisions. How many actually made the Edmonton Oilers better? Nick Zararis goes through every major move Stan Bowman has made as Edmonton Oilers General Manager: free agent signings, trades, and contract extensions, grades each one, and explains what it means for the team's future with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the clock. What's covered: Free agency grades: Josh Samanski and David Tomasek (smart low-risk gambles), Andrew Mangiapane (a clean miss), John Klingberg (fine), Curtis Lazar (fine), Jack Roslovic (acceptable at the price) Extension grades: Leon Draisaitl at 8 years/$14M (had to be done), Trent Frederick at 8 years/$3.85M (inexcusable), Evan Bouchard at 4 years/$10.5M (fine), Jake Walman at 7 years/$7M (does not look good), Vasily Podkolzin at 3 years/$2.95M (lights out), Mattias Ekholm at 3 years/$4M (concerning for his age) Trade grades: The Tristan Jarry acquisition (catastrophic miss), the Jake Walman trade for a first-round pick (miss), the Vasily Podkolzin trade for a fourth-round pick (win), the Connor Ingram waiver claim (win), Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach for a first and Andrew Mangiapane (TBD but likely a miss) Why the NHL is changing: How the league is skewing younger, faster, and more skill-based, and why Bowman's approach of targeting proven veterans at depressed prices hasn't worked in Edmonton The excess value problem: Why the Oilers' best years came when they had players like Evan Bouchard, Dylan Holloway, and Philip Broberg on cheap deals and how they've lost that edge What $16 million in cap space actually buys: Why it sounds like a lot and isn't, once you factor in goaltending, top-six forwards, and Colton Dach's restricted free agency 06:47 Oil's pitch to veteran players 08:56 Critiquing Stan Bowman's decisions 14:06 Discussing player roles and signings 19:52 Debating Oilers' recent trades 23:24 Discussing GM and coach changes 24:14 Impending McDavid free agency concerns 28:39 Predicting a coaching change Every Stan Bowman Trade and Signing Graded: Edmonton Oilers GM Report Card Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
