Ken Holland became general manager (GM) and president of hockey operations of the Edmonton Oilers in the offseason in 2019 and he said in May that he plans to remain in those roles for the remainder of his contract, which ends after next season. It’s reasonable to assume that the Oilers will move on from
Allan Mitchell of The Athletic recently wrote that the Edmonton Oilers — outside of getting Evan Bouchard and Ryan McLeod signed to new deals — are likely done making major moves this off-season. He then suggested that the next big moves would come in a few months when teams are finalizing their rosters ahead of
The Edmonton Oilers still have some moves they need to make before the beginning of the 2023-24 season, and one of them is re-signing defenseman Evan Bouchard to a contract extension after the impressive offensive output he had last season.

The Edmonton Oilers made some changes this offseason, but not many, so the roster will generally look the same as last season, with a few necessary upgrades to suit their tight money situation. The Oilers rely heavily on a few players to lead them to the playoffs, but for a team as talented as they
On the Oilers blue line, goaltending, and what about Toews? Mark Spector of Sportsnet: (mailbag) Don’t think you move a legit NHL defenseman, Brett Kulak, and give the slot to an unproven defenseman. Yes, they could use some added cap space. Kulak on the third pairing is fine and it’s their top four that needs
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the St. Louis Blues are apparently signing Oskar Sundqvist to another deal.

The Edmonton Oilers signed Lane Pederson to a two-year contract worth $775,000 a season on July 1. They haven’t been too active in free agency, and he is one of just three signings the team has made since the start of free agency. They have brought in Connor Brown and Drake Caggiula as well and
Recently the Edmonton Oilers selected Barrie Colts’ blueliner Beau Akey in the second round (56th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Ken Holland has been busy trying to make the cap work for the Edmonton Oilers the best he can, and that included some tough decisions. Kailer Yamamoto and Klim Kostin were traded to the Detroit Red Wings to free up potentially $4.5 million of what they would be paying the two next year. The Oilers
Speculation is that the Edmonton Oilers could be rather quiet around the NHL Draft and free agency this week. With little money to spend and without a trade yet completed to move Kailer Yamamoto off of the roster, GM Ken Holland doesn’t have a lot of options, other than to make the best possible decisions

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, one source doesn’t expect Pierre-Luc Dubois, Connor Hellebuyck, or Blake Wheeler to be with the Winnipeg Jets next year.

The 2023 NHL Draft is now less than two weeks away, June 28 and 29 at Bridgestone Arena, home of the Nashville Predators.
