The New Franchises
This shouldn't come as a profound statement by any means, but I am in no position to be telling people how to spend their money. Even when I was in banking as a career, I tended to explain the advantages and disadvantages of how people spent their money, but the decision always rested with those people when it came to where their money went. The Federal Prospects Hockey League, howver, seems to have a different view on money because their recent expansion announcement calls into question any s...
Top 100 Oilers: No. 25 — Andy Moog
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Andy Moog comes in at No. 25 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 14 on Brownlee’s original list. Andy Moog was the perfect underdog. A seventh-round pick who was…

Djurgården announces Viggo Björck is leaving Sweden to continue his career in the Winnipeg Jets organization

Former Oilers draft pick Matt Copponi signs with AHL Marlies
Matt Copponi has left the Edmonton Oilers organization, signing a one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs AHL affiliate, the Marlies. Copponi, 23, was selected by the Oilers in the seventh round, 216th overall, of the 2023 draft after scoring 14 goals and 29 points in 37 games at the NCAA’s Merrimack College. He returned…
Why the Oilers should prioritize a long-term deal for Matt Savoie
The Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes are an interesting case study. It took years for the “computer boys” to get that team to the promised land, and while so much has been made about the analytically driven moves the organization has made over the years, their ability to identify market inefficiencies is what drove them…
Two other Oilers who could make Canada’s 2028 World Cup of Hockey roster
There’s no denying Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard will be a part of the next best-on-best international Canadian team. Daily Faceoff’s Matt Larkin, Steven Ellis, and Scott Maxwell each projected the two Edmonton Oilers to be on the 2028 World Cup of Hockey team, but there’s an argument to be made that others could join…
Maybe Down The Road?
The jersey to the left is what would have been worn by the NCAA's Tennessee State Tigers had they started their program this past year. The historically Black, public university was supposed to have skaters flying around the ice for 2025-26, but they pushed the start of their men's hockey program back to the start of 2026-27 due to a fundraising shortfall. Hockey, as we all know, is an expensive sport, so taking the extra year to raise funds and have strong backing seemed prudent. The big aste...
Screens In The Ice?
If there's one thing I know about the work that goes into getting arena ice ready for a season of hockey, it's that it takes a lot of time and planning. Arena staff have to properly measure, align, and paint lines by hand for the various lines needed in hockey, and the bigger teams may include logos or elaborate designs in their lines. The logos seen in faceoff circles are usually large, printed logos that are installed below the ice surface and they're usually a static design for the entire s...

Where the Oilers 2026-27 roster stands after a busy free agency
The dust has settled on the NHL offseason, but that doesn’t mean the work is done. The Edmonton Oilers’ new coaching staff will be hard at work this summer getting to know the roster, reviewing past footage, and building a plan for how the team will attack the 2026-27 season. The front office, meanwhile, still…
Two Oilers land on projected Canadian 2028 World Cup of Hockey roster
We may be a few years away from the next rendition of best-on-best hockey, but that doesn’t mean it’s too soon to start looking at who could make the rosters. Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis, Scott Maxwell, and Matt Larkin dove into the Canadian roster, each projecting the forwards, defencemen, and goaltenders, and all three agreed…

Why Rickard Rakell might not be the home-run swing the Oilers need
The NHL offseason has been absolute bedlam so far. We’ve seen star players traded, multiple first-round picks moved, and pricey offer sheets signed. Amid all the chaos, the Edmonton Oilers quietly improved their cap situation and added on the margins. Now, they’re on the hunt for a bigger move. Stan Bowman set everything in motion…

Peter Pocklington’s 1984 mistake changed Stanley Cup protocols
In the throes of the NHL off-season, there is Stanley Cup controversy, one with roots back to the Edmonton Oilers’ victory in 1984. Images have been released of the Carolina Hurricanes’ addition to the Stanley Cup band, an honoured tradition of engraving the names of the players and team members onto the trophy to be…

The Anaheim Ducks’ franchise centre is staying put in Orange County.

Oilers new alternate jersey will be black with ‘Flint Tropics’ motif
The Edmonton Oilers will have a new alternate jersey for the upcoming season, with little tidbits emerging on what the design is. Each NHL team will have new alternates as part of the league’s “Hometown Remix” jerseys, meant to tie directly to the city, culture, history, and identity of the market. Sports 1440 morning show…
Andersen, Joseph provide Stanley Cup rings to Oilers
The position group the Edmonton Oilers needed to address most in the off-season was goaltending. General manager Stan Bowman was busy adding two goaltenders to push Tristan Jarry next season, who needs a reset instead of a rebound. Whether Frederik Andersen or Devon Levi is a true solution can only be determined by the games,…
