Welcome to Oilersnation’s annual player review series, where we dive into the Edmonton Oilers season player by player.

Things have been going great for Edmonton Oilers players at the 2026 IIHF World Championship, but there were a few disappointing results on Saturday. There were three Oilers in action. Isaac Howard’s USA took on Latvia, falling 4-2, Mattias Ekholm’s Sweden fell 3-2 to Norway, and Josh Samanski’s Germany defeated Austria 6-2. It’s bad news…
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Dave Hunter comes in at No. 31 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 25 on Brownlee’s original list. Championship teams like the 1984, 1985, and 1987 Edmonton Oilers cannot…

The first part of this might be a little traumatic as an Edmonton Oilers fan reading this, but Paul Fischer was acquired in the 2024 off-season from St. Louis along with a third-round pick in 2028. This trade was basically seen as a “sorry, we offer-sheeted your top two prospects. Please don’t match either, and…
The position group under the most scrutiny for the Edmonton Oilers heading into the off-season is goaltending. What else is new? Tristan Jarry has two seasons left on his contract, and it seems unlikely the veteran netminder will be sold off to free up cap space, his value being what it is. The Oilers could look…
It appears that the Edmonton Oilers are going to get some forward depth from overseas. On Thursday, Oilers prospect Maxim Berezkin (also stylized as Maxim Beryozkin or Maksim Berezkin) lifted the Gagarin Cup for the second consecutive season, helping the Kontinental Hockey League’s Yaroslavl Lokomotiv defeat the Kazan Ak Bars in the finals. It’s been…

It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ coaching interviews, changes in Edmonton, the Conference Finals, line combinations, and more. We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious…
All four Edmonton Oilers in action Friday picked up a win in the 2026 World Championship. Germany picked up their second victory of the tournament, defeating Hungary 6-2. Canada remained undefeated, beating Slovenia 3-1, while Sweden defeated the Italians 3-0. Of the five Oilers players at the tournament, four were in action. Let’s take a…
Insider Dave Pagnotta says the Vegas Golden Knights have denied the Edmonton Oilers before when it comes to coaches. Pagnotta appeared on Daily Faceoff’s The Sheet Friday morning to talk about the ongoing Bruce Cassidy situation, of which there is no update, but he did share new information he learned. Pagnotta said the Golden Knights had…
Over the course of this five-part series, where I’ve gone through the questions that will define what is arguably the most consequential offseason in Edmonton Oilers history, I’ve looked at a lot of different things. I kicked things off with a look at the coaching staff, which was clearly the first question that the organization…
The first sign of trouble of Stan Bowman’s tenure was with the two offer sheets. Shortly after joining the Edmonton Oilers, Bowman was faced with a dilemma: allow two young players to walk for a measly second- and third-round draft pick, or match their offers and go well over the cap and deal with that…
The image to the left is supposed to be of Mjölnir, the hammer carried by Norse god Thor. According to Norse legend, Thor, the god of thunder, used Mjölnir to defeat the enemies of Asgard and in ceremonies such as weddings and births. If you're a Marvel fan, you know that the hammer was only wielded by those who were deemed "worthy" as only select Avengers were able to lift the hammer from where it rested. In short, the marketing options would have been endless for a hockey team who wanted to ...
We’re down to four teams left in the playoffs, and longtime readers know what that means: It’s time to take a look at the field for one of the league’s most prestigious award, the Conned Smythe. Yes, Conned. If you’re new to the concept, the Conned Smythe goes to the team that made the worst trade that had the biggest impact on each season’s eventual champion. Sometimes it’s a relatively obvious call, like when Flames fans watched the Panthers win Cups with Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett, or ...
do dah do dooo, do dah do dooo “You are now entering…The Babcock Zone.” The Babcock Zone is a weird place, one whose namesake carries a “stench of desperation,” as Jason Gregor put it in an Oilersnation column earlier Thursday. Memberships are held by veteran coaches, quasi-retired coaches, or “problematic” coaches. It exists beyond the…

It's been a long time coming, but the Montreal PWHL franchise lived up to its name tonight, claiming victoire over the Ottawa Charge in Game Four of the Walter Cup Final to capture the PWHL's most coveted prize! It's the first time that the Walter Cup will call Canada home after tonight's win by the Victoire as they become the second PWHL team to have their name on the trophy while the Ottawa Charge came up short for the second time in their history. When Marie-Philip Poulin raised the Walter ...
Would the Edmonton Oilers try to enact revenge on the Vegas Golden Knights? Host of Daily Faceoff’s The Sheet, Jeff Marek, sparked loads of conversation with a “chaotic” idea on whether the Oilers would offer sheet Pavel Dorofeyev. This would be in response to their Nevada rivals so far withholding permission to talk to ousted…
It wasn’t pretty, but Canada remains undefeated in the 2026 World Championship. Thursday morning, the Canadians took on Norway in Group B action. Only two Edmonton Oiler players, Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse, were in action, as the United States, Germany, and Sweden were all off. Let’s take a look at what happened in Canada’s…
There would be no stronger stench of desperation than the Edmonton Oilers interviewing Mike Babcock for their vacant head coaching job. This is not a hot take, and I don’t even think it should be controversial. Mike Babcock has lost the right to be an NHL coach. His actions, spread out over multiple teams, are…
The Vegas Golden Knights capitalized on the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night, following the announcement that superstar defenceman Cale Makar would not be available for Game 1 of the series. Cale Makar will miss Game 1 of the Western Conference Final vs. the Golden Knights, per head coach Jared Bednar. pic.twitter.com/AZgE26PbGV — TSN (@TSN_Sports) May…
“On every team, there is a core group that sets the tone for everyone else. If the tone is positive, you have half the battle won. If it is negative, you are beaten before you ever walk on the field.” Truer words have never been spoken. This quote is attributed to Chuck Noll, the legendary…
