Oops! It’s all Edmonton: St. Louis Blues name leadership group full of Alberta ties
Pound for pound, the city of Edmonton and its surrounding cities have produced some of the best hockey players the world has ever seen. In fact, according to Quant Hockey, Edmonton has produced 208 players who have accumulated 22,610 points — the third-most of any city in the world. Not bad. There are always the…
What does a successful 2026-27 season look like for Oilers’ Colton Dach?
Colton Dach’s name may not have drawn the most attention when the Edmonton Oilers traded for him and Jason Dickinson from the Chicago Blackhawks before last March’s trade deadline, but he certainly caught the attention of many once he donned the Oilers’ orange and blue silks. During the final month of last season and into…
Bowman: Oilers unlikely to offer professional tryouts
The Edmonton Oilers have never been shy when it comes to signing players to professional tryouts. While they didn’t bring in any players last year, forward Mike Hoffman and defenceman Travis Dermott got invites to training camp in 2024, with the latter signing a one-year deal. He’d play just 10 games before being waived and…
‘Offensive player or bust’: Steven Ellis breaks down Isaac Howard’s drop off Daily Faceoff’s prospect list
When it comes to top prospects, it’s no surprise that the Edmonton Oilers don’t have any. After all, they have few opportunities to draft such players, given their late-round picks — if they have any at all. Such is life for a team who’s Cup or bust every year. While Matt Savoie graduated out of Daily…
Oilers’ McDavid remains on top in The Athletic’s annual NHL player tiers
As NHL training camps rapidly approach, we’ve officially reached the time of year when hockey analysts race to complete their rankings, projections and previews for the upcoming season. One of the more highly anticipated rankings dropped on Wednesday: The Athletic’s 2026-27 release of its annual NHL player tiers. On their list, Edmonton Oilers’ captain Connor…
Top 100 Oilers: No. 16 — Bill Ranford
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Bill Ranford comes in at No. 16 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 11 on Brownlee’s original list. It’s become the stuff of legend how Bill Ranford started the…
Will Connor McDavid surpass Mario Lemieux’s best decade in NHL history?
Connor McDavid has scored 100+ points in a season nine times, which is the third most in NHL history behind Mario Lemieux (10) and Wayne Gretzky (15). He’s been incredibly consistent, reaching the century mark in nine of his eleven seasons. He missed 37 games as a rookie, and in 2020 he had 97 points…
Bold 2026-27 Pacific Division predictions: Oilers win, Ducks crash
September is here, and that means there will be NHL hockey played this month. We are so close to putting a bow on the offseason and heading into a 2026-27 season that should be one of the more fascinating seasons that we’ve seen in recent memory. The Eastern Conference is filled with teams looking to…
It’s time for the Oilers to turn Rogers Place into a fortress
It’s time the Edmonton Oilers made Rogers Place into a fortress. Every Halloween, there are local haunted houses that have been harder to get through. Earlier this year, Michael Menzies wrote about Edmonton’s poor home performance. In contrast, the road record has usually been solid in the Connor McDavid era. Edmonton’s home record will need…
We’re going to Toronto for a #NationVacation and you’re all invited to join us
If there’s one thing I always get excited to write about, it’s when we finally get to tell you fine folks that we’re packing our bags for another #NationVacation presented by jetSet Parking to watch the boys play behind enemy lines. And this time around, we’re heading to Toronto. Every year when the NHL schedule…
Why the Edmonton Oilers must be ready for a strong start to the 2026-27 season
It is September. The NHL regular season begins in 29 days, and the Edmonton Oilers need a strong start this season. They were sluggish to start the past three seasons, going 2-7-1, 4-5-1 and 4-5-1 in their first 10 games of the 2024, 2025, and 2026 seasons, but that shouldn’t happen this season. They are…
Oilers 2026 Prospect Countdown No. 10: Connor Clattenburg
Welcome to Daily Faceoff Edmonton’s countdown of the top 20 prospects in the Edmonton Oilers system. We’re now into our top ten with Bakersfield Condors forward Connor Clattenburg. He’s another selection I was in the building for, and another draft pick I didn’t quite understand at the time. #10: Connor Clattenburg Age: 21 Position: W…
Remaining free agents who could be of interest to the Oilers
The 2026-27 National Hockey League season is less than a month away. Even before training camp started for the Edmonton Oilers, there were several reported injuries. One big loss, at least for the first month of the season, is Matthew Savoie. The speedy winger was set to get a look in the top six after…
Oilers captain Connor McDavid’s off-ice character praised by Muskoka coach
Muskoka, Ont., has become known for its lush forests, pristine waters, and, in recent years, for serving as a training hub for the NHL’s best, including Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid. As he always does, however, Connor McDavid is the one capturing all the attention out of all the stars who attend. Brady Leavold, a…
31 Oilers Questions: Is Zach Hyman due for a decline in 2026-27?
Heading into the 2026-27 season, Oilersnation will ask one question about every Edmonton Oilers player projected to be on the 2026-27 roster in preparation for the upcoming season. From Connor McDavid to Mattias Janmark, let’s ask some questions. The best free agent signing in Edmonton Oilers’ history is Zach Hyman, and it isn’t particularly close….
Oilers prospect Aidan Park looks to builds on freshman year after viral draft moment
Taking the stage on NHL draft night is a special moment in a young player’s career. Most prospects invite their friends and family, dress in their sharpest suits, and anxiously await their chance to make the walk. But that wasn’t the case when Aidan Park heard the Edmonton Oilers call his name at the 2025…
Oilers’ injuries shouldn’t be a major concern
The Edmonton Oilers’ rookie camp starts on Sept. 11, main camp with veterans begins on Sept. 15, and late last week the team announced Matt Savoie, Frederik Andersen, Mattias Janmark and Alec Regula will not participate in training camp or the preseason. No team wants injuries, but they are expected, and I don’t think these…
31 Oilers Questions: Where will Max Jones begin the 2026-27 season?
Heading into the 2026-27 season, Oilersnation will ask one question about every Edmonton Oilers player projected to be on the 2026-27 roster in preparation for the upcoming season. From Connor McDavid to Mattias Janmark, let’s ask some questions. Spots as a regular in the Edmonton Oilers’ bottom six are still up for grabs. Right now,…
Monday Mailbag: How concerned should the Oilers be about Matt Savoie and Frederik Andersen?
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 Oilers injuries, Edmonton’s prospect rankings, what’s left to be done before the season, and more. If…

It’s time to dig into this week’s Letters to the Editor. Want to join in the fun? Details about how to reach out are at the bottom of the article. What accountability are McDavid and Draisaitl seeking under a new coach? There has been a great deal of optimism that a coaching change will result…
Sunday Scramble: Early injuries will test the Oilers’ core vulnerabilities right from the start
The Edmonton Oilers are facing their first cold winds of adversity approaching the 2026-27 season. Two weeks out from training camp, neither Matt Savoie nor Frederik Andersen will participate due to injuries suffered during off-season training, and the suggested timelines target late October returns. It presents an early curveball to the 2026-27 campaign for Mike…
Oilers 2026 Prospect Countdown No. 11: Beau Akey
Welcome to Daily Faceoff Edmonton’s countdown of the top 20 prospects in the Edmonton Oilers system. Back to the defenceman, we go with our 11th-ranked player: former Barrie Colt and 2023 second-round pick Beau Akey. This is a lot lower than I ever thought I’d have Akey since his draft day. I hoped the Oilers…
Oilers’ Devon Levi has golden opportunity in wake of Andersen injury
Many Canadian hockey fans remember the first time they heard the name Devon Levi. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, while the 2021 Canada World Juniors Team iced a roster featuring 20 first-round draft picks, it was Levi, a seventh-round draft pick, who stole the spotlight. Seemingly out of nowhere, he earned the tournament’s…
Oilers prospect Tommy Lafrenière ready for NCAA challenge at Western Michigan
Tommy Lafrenière accomplished everything he needed to in the Western Hockey League, and now he’s looking to level up. The Edmonton Oilers’ 2025 third-round pick spent the last three seasons with the Kamloops Blazers, culminating in a spectacular 41-goal campaign. This fall, he’ll make the move to Western Michigan to take on older competition. “It’s…
Top 100 Oilers: No. 18 — Evan Bouchard
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Evan Bouchard comes in at No. 18 on our updated 2025 list. He was not ranked on Brownlee’s original list. There are few athletes in all of sports more misunderstood than the offensive defenceman….
