In just over two years as Edmonton Oilers general manager, Stan Bowman has traded away two first-round picks, moved on from several longtime players, and made some pretty aggressive bets in pursuit of a Stanley Cup. The results have been all over the map. Some moves have provided tremendous value, while others already look difficult...
After revamping their goaltending group over the last calendar year — trading Stuart Skinner last December and letting Calvin Pickard walk as a free agent — the Edmonton Oilers planned to run with three goaltenders for 2026-27: Tristan Jarry, Frederik Andersen, and Devon Levi.

When the Edmonton Oilers brought Misha Donskov aboard as a coaching consultant late last week, the hire raised several questions. Why do the Oilers want someone there for only a handful of days each month? Why Donskov? What exactly does a coaching consultant do?

Colton Dach’s name may not have drawn the most attention when the Edmonton Oilers traded for him and Jason Dickinson from the Chicago Blackhawks before last March’s trade deadline, but he certainly caught the attention of many once he donned the Oilers’ orange and blue silks.
