The NHL Entry Draft is now behind us and we're still digesting the smorgasboard of prospect activity that went on over the weekend. From NYI picking John Tavares 1st overall to the Pittsburgh Penguins with the 30th pick, The Pipeline Show was covering it all.

Kevin Prendergast of the Oilers will do the same from and Edmonton perspective and we'll also get some updates on RFA signings (and non-signings) for the AHL squad.
One of the newest Oilers will also join us. He's 6'5 230 lb defenceman Kyle Bigos of the Vernon Vipers.
