Recent contracts give Oilers interesting comparables for a Savoie extension
The NHL is fully in summer mode, and while the news cycle has slowed down considerably, it hasn’t fully stopped. Over the last few days, we’ve seen a few interesting signings. Trevor Zegras inked a four-year extension with the Philadelphia Flyers that carries an AAV of $9.125 million. A nice deal for a player who…
NHL schedule ignores Battle of Alberta in Saddledome’s final season
A quick run-through of the Edmonton Oilers schedule and you’ll notice the usual at first glance. The heavy divisional start to the season, a long November road trip through the Eastern Conference, and some long homestands in January and February. Yup, looks similar…wait a minute. When do we see the Flames? Oh, that one’s mid-week…oh…
Which Oilers forwards will play on the penalty kill in 2026-27?
With the Edmonton Oilers’ roster for next season largely set, questions remain about how certain roles will be filled. Adam Henrique won’t be back next season, and he played the second-most minutes on the penalty kill among forwards (107:40) in 2025-26, leaving a big void on the PK unit. Curtis Lazar, who played 24:54 minutes…

On today’s podcast, the guys discussed Tyler’s Ace Race, behind the scenes from the day, some Oilers talk, and much more. The guys kicked off this week’s episode of Real Life with…
Connor McDavid wins Best NHL Player at ESPY Awards
Connor McDavid has won another award. Whether he cares all that much about it, you could probably guess. The ESPY Awards were on Wednesday night, an event where figures across various sports gather in the dog days of summer to fill sports programming while Major League Baseball is on All-Star Break, and also raise money…
Oilers’ 2026-27 schedule: How it compares to rest of NHL
The Edmonton Oilers will play their first regular-season game in September when they begin the 2026-27 season at home against the Vancouver Canucks. For the first time since 1993 and 1994, the NHL will play an 84-game schedule this season, and beyond, and the league wanted to start the season a bit earlier to avoid…
Oilers’ Devon Levi ranked No. 11 NHL goalie prospect
On Wednesday, The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler released the 2026 edition of his annual NHL goalie prospect rankings. Featured on the list this summer is newly acquired Edmonton Oilers goaltender Devon Levi. The Canadian goaltender landed at #11 in the top 20 ranking, with Wheeler writing: Levi’s pro career hasn’t lived up to the pedigree he…
Connor Clattenburg will battle to make Oilers roster: ‘I’m ready to rock’
Connor Clattenburg got a taste of NHL hockey last season with the Edmonton Oilers. Well, five of them. The fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft is a brash, throwback of a player: a take-no-prisoners scrapper better suited for hockey in 1986 than 2026. Unafraid to engage in a scrum or start one, Clattenburg became a…
What Shakir Mukhamadullin brings to the Oilers’ blue line
On Thursday, I released a piece analyzing Ryan Shea, one of the two NHL defencemen that the Edmonton Oilers added on Free Agency Day. The other defender is Shakir Mukhamadullin, acquired from the San Jose Sharks in a trade that sent Darnell Nurse the other way, who also signed a two-year contract extension with the…
Oilers free agency: Top 10 targets for Edmonton to watch
We’re hours away from the start of free agency, and the Oilersnation editorial staff has been hard at work in recent weeks identifying who could be the Edmonton Oilers’ top targets in free agency. From the forward ranks, to the blue line and between the pipes, we’ve identified 10 players that could be of interest…
Sunday Scramble: How long can Stan Bowman wait for the best Nurse trade offer?
Early last week, it seemed like we were on the cusp of a Darnell Nurse trade. The closer we got to the NHL Draft, the quieter the chatter got. With some cheaper names like Rasmus Ristolainen and Morgan Rielly out there, intriguing RFAs Alexander Nikishin or Braden Schneider, and the star-chasing potential of Zach Werenski…
Sunday Scramble: Different ownership styles can win championships. Will Daryl Katz’s?
Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz watches the much-maligned owner of the New York Knicks, James Dolan, win an NBA championship on Saturday night. Perhaps even with tears in his eyes. The former “worst owner in all of sports” was handed the Larry O’Brien Trophy — the worst tradition in American sports, the owners receiving the…
