Latest news and updates about the Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have a problem. They’re pressed up tight to the salary cap, and while they’ve been able to manoeuvre by activating Jake Walman and Tristan Jarry from the Long-Term Injured Reserve by placing an injured Adam Henrique there, they won’t be able to do that forever. In fact, when the time comes to…

Kris Knoblauch chose Connor Ingram over Calvin Pickard for tonight’s game, and the message is becoming clearer: Ingram’s earned his spot, at least for now.

The Edmonton Oilers have inserted Andrew Mangiapane back into the lineup for the last couple of games, and he still doesn't exactly seem to fit in. The third line of Jack Roslovic, Matt Savoie, and Isaac Howard was more exciting and had better chances. With that being said, the Oilers might be trying to get Mangiapane going to get something in return in a trade, but that isn't needed. There has been rumored interest in Mangiapane, as he is a middle-6 winger who can score and has a nasty side. ...

Last week, I outlined the different factors that will impact the Edmonton Oilers as we creep closer and closer to the NHL’s trade deadline. Edmonton’s cap space is limited, and they don’t have a lot of premium assets to spend. Because of that, it seems unlikely that they’ll be able to make more than one…
