The Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending question is still running rampant, and the limited free agent class does not help their situation. Daily Faceoff’s Matt Larkin identified over a dozen goaltenders who could become available this off-season. He broke the netminders down into four tiers based on their appeal for teams like the Oilers who are seeking…
Edmonton Oilers defencemen Darnell Nurse and Evan Bouchard will be joined by three former teammates when they represent Team Canada at the 2026 IIHF World Championship in Switzerland.

Lord Byron once said, “The best prophet of the future is the past.” Byron was an English poet in the early 1800s, and his quote connects to many aspects of life, including sports. This quote should be front and centre in the Edmonton Oilers management office as they decide what direction to head this off-season….
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Curtis Joseph comes in at No. 33 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 30 on Brownlee’s original list. Curtis Joseph has got that dog in him. Cujo is renowned…
Evan Bouchard admits there are many great defencemen in the National Hockey League. But for the Edmonton Oilers blueliner to finish outside the top three in Norris Trophy voting, despite leading the league in points by a defenceman with 95, and playing huge minutes on the penalty kill — that does sting. “When I saw…
For the seventh time in his 11-year career in the National Hockey League, Connor McDavid is a Hart Trophy finalist. It comes off the back of another excellent season for the Oilers captain, leading the league in scoring with 48 goals and 138 points in 82 games, securing his sixth Art Ross Trophy, tying Gordie…
The Jets are modernizing their hockey operations space.
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The term “Cup or bust” gets thrown around a lot for the Connor McDavid-led Edmonton Oilers team, meaning every season they don’t win the Stanley Cup is considered unsuccessful. The Oilers lost in the Stanley Cup Final in each of the last two seasons, but this past season felt especially unfulfilled after they were knocked…
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it’s ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed what comes next for the Edmonton Oilers, Evan Bouchard’s Norris Trophy snub, the Leafs winning the NHL Draft Lottery, and much more. The guys kicked off…
The game of hockey is won and lost at the margins. It’s the ability to dig deep, bury that rebound, chip that puck out, win that faceoff, or any of the superlatives that contribute to wins on the ice. But in order for a team to be in a position to win on the ice,…
Frank Seravalli believes there’s a good chance that the Edmonton Oilers will make a coaching change. On Thursday, the hockey insider was asked during an appearance on Sportsnet 590 The Fan about what moves the Oilers could make this offseason. A lot of moves are coming, he believes. “I do think significant changes are coming in…
The Dallas Stars are navigating the offseason after a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Wild in Round 1. Priority number one for general manager Jim Nill is finding a way to tackle the contract situation of Jason Robertson. “So my plan is to reach out to his agent in the next week or so,” Nill…
Few players are more polarizing across the hockey world than Edmonton Oilers‘ defenceman Evan Bouchard. The offensive D-man dazzles fans with slick passes and ‘Bouch Bombs’ from the point, but also makes them pull their hair out with the occasional cartoonish blunder. When the NHL announced its nominees for the 2025-26 James Norris Memorial Trophy…
The Edmonton Oilers had a disappointing season in 2025-26, falling well short of expectations in both the regular season and the playoffs. Whether it was fatigue, injuries, goaltending, or coaching, they never got everything clicking at the same time. That’s not to say there weren’t any players who made strides, however, as a few players…
For some, it comes as a surprise that Evan Bouchard wasn’t nominated for the Norris Trophy. For others, it’s completely understandable. Over the past season, the defenceman made a case for himself to receive a nomination and it turned into quite the debate and conversation in the later stages of the NHL season. Pundits and…
Another Edmonton Oiler will be representing their country at the upcoming IIHF World Championships. Isaac Howard is suiting up with the United States as the nation selected a younger roster with little overlap to the national Olympic team that won the gold medal in February. He’s the fifth Edmonton Oiler heading to Switzerland. Recently snubbed…
With almost two months to go until the Draft, there is still plenty of time to get familiar with the top prospects in this class.
With playoffs in progress for some leagues and ending for other leagues, this is clearly one of the busiest times of the year in the hockey world. The NHL Draft Lottery just saw Toronto claim the top pick, there was a new expansion team announced in the PWHL, there will be a new name and logo for the AHL team in Hamilton announced soon, and there are stories from around the globe that should be examined. I'm not doing any of that tonight, though, because my life has been busy enough with the i...
Despite a regular season that saw him lead all defencemen in scoring by 14 points, Evan Bouchard’s tremendous 2025-26 season won’t earn him a Norris Trophy. The Edmonton Oilers defenceman was not named among the three finalists named for the award Thursday morning. Instead, Colorado Avalanche defenceman Cale Makar, Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Zach Werenski,…
Perhaps the most intriguing Edmonton Oilers prospect lifted his team to the Gagarin Cup Final with a critical goal on Wednesday. Maxim Berezkin (Beryozkin) scored in Game 7 double overtime for a 4-3 victory, sending his Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team on to the KHL championship series. They eliminated Avangard Omsk after beginning the semifinal by digging…
The NHL draft lottery was this week, and the results were met with unanimous praise and approval. But what if things had been different? Specifically, what if one game, or even one moment, from the 2025-26 season had played out just slightly differently? As it turns out, that can change everything. Because of the way the process works, and how the league hands out combinations to specific spots in the standings, any result that shifted those standings would also have ended up changing the lott...
Earlier in the week, I kicked off my offseason series taking a look at the five questions that will define this summer for the Edmonton Oilers. The first order of business is to address their coaching situation, but after that, general manager Stan Bowman has to turn his attention to their roster. It is undoubtedly…
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, hits the airwaves with a lot to get done tonight as five people will be sent off Survivor: NHL Playoffs island. There will likely be some discussion regarding for whom these five are cheering now that their chosen teams have been eliminated, and I'd expect some funny comments from at least a few of the departing entrants. Beyond that, our hosts will squeeze in some hockey news after the exit interviews tonig...
