With the holidays over, and the Olympic break looming, we’re officially into trade season. How do we know? Well, because trades are happening! Okay, so Laurent Brossoit for Jake Furlong isn’t exactly a blockbuster, but it does get things rolling, right? With the trade deadline less than two weeks after everyone is back from the Olympics, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that general managers will want to get things done before the break.
Although the standings are still kind of co...

Last summer was an interesting one for the Edmonton Oilers. Everyone remembers the beginning of the 2024 off-season, when the Oilers were able to re-sign Adam Henrique, Mattias Janmark, Corey Perry, and Connor Brown, while also adding Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson. It was praised in the moment, but it became detrimental to long-term success…

Sports is, and always will be, the best “reality TV” show. Games can be unpredictable, frustrating, riveting, boring or pulsating depending on the day or the opponent. Some outcomes are expected, but upsets happen regularly, and performances can vary from electric to horrific, and sometimes those occur in the same game. The season of the…

The Edmonton Oilers play the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night, and look, the Oilers haven’t exactly been rolling — they still haven’t strung together three consecutive wins — but at least they’re not in freefall like their opponents. The Jets are riding a 10-game losing streak and looking to avoid making it 11 straight. Perspective, folks….

It is clear that the Edmonton Oilers are planning on moving on from Andrew Mangiapane this season, and the veteran with a no-trade clause, would be willing to waive it to get a better opportunity somewhere else. David Pagnotta had reported, "Andrew Mangiapane would prefer to move to a contender, but he is open to the 'best fit' for him. The Ducks, Red Wings, and Jets are just three of the teams the Oilers are believed to have spoken to." The Anaheim Ducks have plenty of cap space and are in a ...

The Edmonton Oilers may have figured out their third line. On Tuesday evening, Adam Henrique went down with an injury, playing just two shifts. That meant the Oilers needed to be creative as they were down to 11 forwards. One line that was put together in the second and third period was Ike Howard, Jack…

The Edmonton Oilers ' biggest need is to upgrade or change around some of their bottom-6 players. Adam Henrique and Trent Frederic are obvious ones, but those seem nearly impossible this season given their contracts with no-trade clauses or term. Another option is Andrew Mangiapane, who is open to a trade and has another year left on his contract. The Oilers don't have much cap space, so a forward will have to be traded out if they want to go after another addition. David Pagnotta suggested, "...

Andrew Mangiapane’s name is heating up again on the trade market, and the New Jersey Devils are popping up as a team that makes a ton of sense. With Edmonton still trying to find the right landing spot and insiders cautioning that a deal is not imminent, the chatter has shifted to which clubs are desperate enough for scoring depth to make the money and the term work.
