Oilers bold predictions: Who will lead the team in points, PIMs, hits and more?
With training camp completed, things are about to heat up for the Edmonton Oilers. But before the season officially gets underway, it’s time to put some final predictions out on the internet. Some picks will be no-brainers, while others will be a little bolder. With that in mind, here are my picks for who I…
Monday Mailbag: Has Shakir Mukhamadullin done enough to earn his spot in the Oilers’ lineup?
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing Mark Messier’s Babcock comments, Shakir Mukhamadullin’s spot in the lineup, extra forwards, line combos, and more….
Sunday Scramble: The Edmonton Oilers’ questionable centre experiment, and is hockey today ‘very dumb?’
What the Edmonton Oilers are doing at centre has been my focus through training camp, with the plan set for Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to play together (at least at home) and working out Colton Dach and even Trent Frederic at practice as pivots. I’m not sold on this plan. How quickly does Babcock…
The Day After: Injuries leave Oilers lineup questions unanswered as pre-season ends
And just like that, one week after it began, the 2026-27 NHL pre-season is over. For the Edmonton Oilers, it couldn’t have come soon enough. After a long summer of waiting after getting bounced in the first round by the Anaheim Ducks, the Oilers came out swinging in the pre-season, capping off a perfect 4-0…
Oilers loan Damien Carfagna to Condors, place Matt Tomkins on waivers
The Edmonton Oilers have made two more roster cuts ahead of Monday’s roster deadline. On Sunday, the team announced that Damien Carfagna has been loaned to the American Hockey League’s Bakersfield Condors, while netminder Matt Tomkins is on waivers. The #Oilers have loaned defenceman Damien Carfagna to the @Condors. We have also placed goaltender Matt…
Why Kirill Marchenko is the ideal top-six trade target for the Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers’ roster doesn’t seem perfect just yet. With only two years left on Connor McDavid’s current contract, it feels like the Oilers are missing a top-six forward entering the 2026-27 season, especially with Matthew Savoie injured. That top-six addition could come before the trade deadline, but why wait if a top-six forward is…
Kraken 2026-27 off-season review: A quiet summer leaves Seattle worse off
It was a quiet off-season for the National Hockey League’s most mediocre team, the Seattle Kraken. After finishing the 2025-26 season with just 79 points, well out of the playoff picture, the Kraken went and basically did nothing. It looks like the Kraken will once again be on the outside looking in, basically the status…
Instant Reaction: Oilers defeat Flames 4-1 to finish NHL preseason with a perfect record
How does a 4-0-0 preseason sound? On Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers played their fourth and final tune-up game before the real thing, defeating the Calgary Flames by a score of 4-1. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one! It took over 16 minutes for the game to get its first goal….
Report: Oilers ‘drooling’ with interest in Habs’ Kirby Dach
Could the Edmonton Oilers have interest in bringing in Kirby Dach? According to NHL Insider Frank Seravalli, the Oilers and the Calgary Flames are looking to trade for Dach, with Seravalli describing the Oilers’ interest in the 25-year-old as “drooling” for the Montreal Canadiens winger. There are several connections to the Oilers, as well. Not…
Four Oilers to watch in pre-season finale vs. Flames
With only one more pre-season game remaining for most teams and the regular season beginning on Tuesday, teams have begun to make the majority of cuts to their rosters. Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers released Seth Griffith from his professional tryout and assigned 14 more to Bakersfield or junior. Josh Brown, Riley Stillman, and Eduards…
GDB -4.0: Oilers close out their pre-season against the Flames (7 PM MT, Oilers+)
The Edmonton Oilers only have one more pre-season game to slog through before the big dance starts for real, and I am very ready to be done with the warmup season. The Flames are in town, and while I’m sure there will be a few moments and individual performances worth talking about, none of us…
Do the numbers support the Oilers loading up McDavid and Draisaitl?
The Edmonton Oilers have spent years debating whether they are better with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl together or apart. But over the past three seasons, the answer has depended heavily on who plays beside them. With Zach Hyman on their wing, McDavid and Draisaitl have outscored opponents 60-26 at five-on-five since 2023-24. Without him,…

Isaac Howard leads ‘outmatched’ Oilers to victory over the Canucks
Hard work has been the prevailing theme for the Edmonton Oilers throughout training camp this fall. The pace in practice. The aggressive penalty killing. The defencemen stepping up to deny entries. It’s all part of Mike Babcock’s plan to turn a team that had become complacent back into a contender. On Thursday, the Cond— I…
Oilers reassign 15 players to trim training camp roster
The Edmonton Oilers are close to finalizing their roster. On Friday morning, the Oilers sent down most of their minor-league roster that remained with the big club after a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks the night before. Josh Brown, Riley Stillman, and Eduards Tralmaks have been placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to Bakersfield. Tomas…
A look at players the Oilers could potentially claim on NHL waivers
With NHL training camps coming to a close, it is time to examine which players may be placed on waivers with the hope that their club can sneak them through and store them on the farm, or develop them further. But every year, valuable adds are made on the waiver wire, and this year offers…
Tristan Jarry steady, Isaac Howard scores, and only one more Oilers tune-up game until show time
The Bakersfield Condors Edmonton Oilers were in Vancouver on Thursday to square off against the Canucks in their third of four tune-up games of the pre-season. And despite the difference in every day NHLers in their respective lineups, the “Oilers” still found a way to not only compete hard but ultimately outclassed the Canucks en route…
The Day After: Oilers trending in right direction with strong penultimate pre-season win
The pre-season rosters iced by the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks were very different on Thursday night.

Oilers’ goaltending tandem ranks 25th in Daily Faceoff pre-season rankings
The Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending situation appears to be an area of concern once again. Prior to the start of the 2026-27 NHL season, Daily Faceoff released a ranking for all 32 teams’ goalie tandems. As has been the case for the majority of the Connor McDavid/Leon Draisaitl era, the Oilers rank rather low, coming in…
Oilers respond to Messier’s comments: ‘He’s more than welcome to come here’
Mike Babcock turned the other cheek on Thursday. Yesterday, former Edmonton Oilers captain and hockey great Mark Messier said he was “absolutely shocked” by the Babcock hiring, adding that he was “horrified” by the entire hiring process. Babcock did not throw barbs back at “Moose,” instead deciding to shrug off the comments, alluding to the…
GDB -3.0: Oilers youth travels to Vancouver (8 PM MT, SN)
Even with only four pre-season games, you still see game rosters consisting mainly of non-NHL players. Tonight’s Edmonton Oilers roster has four players who will likely start the season in Edmonton. Earlier this week, Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour said he’d be okay with cancelling preseason games. “I’d sooner go to 86 games and…
Three players to watch in tonight’s Oilers vs. Canucks pre-season game
The second-to-last pre-season tune-up for the Edmonton Oilers is set for tonight as they head west and visit the Vancouver Canucks.
