Three free agent forwards the Oilers could still target
Stan Bowman rolled up his sleeves and got to work early this offseason, making multiple trades and signings by the time July 1 came to an end. He dealt Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Shakir Mukhamadullin and used some of the cap savings to sign defenceman Ryan Shea to a…
Giroux ‘strongly’ considering Oilers, but report says he signed with Flyers

David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported that the Flyers are signing Claude Giroux on Friday afternoon. This was a couple of…

The month of July just got a whole lot more interesting, as the Philadelphia Flyers have tendered a five-year, $18 million AAV offer sheet to Anaheim Ducks centre Leo Carlsson.

Grading the most impactful Oilers free agent signings
What many expected to be a quiet July 1 for the Edmonton Oilers ended up producing as many fireworks as the Canada Day celebrations that followed.

Let's build a ghost roster of NHL free agency regret
If you’re a Canadian hockey fan of a certain age, the phrase “ghost roster” might bring back some bad memories. Back in the late-90s, the concept of the ghost roster became popular with the various brain trusts who put together the country’s international teams. The idea was that when it came to creating the perfect team, you don’t just pick the 20 or so best players. Instead, you first map out an ideal roster based on specific roles, and then you find the players who best fit that particular ...
Which former Edmonton Oilers have signed deals in free agency
It was a busy Canada Day for most National Hockey League teams. The Edmonton Oilers, in particular, had a busy day.

What the Edmonton Oilers should expect from Ryan Shea
Once Darnell Nurse was traded to the San Jose Sharks, the floodgates opened, and with his $9.25 million cap hit cleared, the Edmonton Oilers made their biggest move on day one of free agency by signing defenceman Ryan Shea to a five-year, $20 million contract. Shea played 39 games in 2024-25 before breaking out with…

NHL Notebook: Who are the best free agents still available?
An already thin crop has been well picked over in the first two days of NHL Free Agency. With that said, there are still some intriguing forwards, largely grizzled veterans, who could be attracting teams that have a few million dollars burning a hole in their pocket. Would any of these names intrigue you as…
Breaking down the contract structure of all nine Oilers additions
What was initially anticipated to be a quiet start to free agency for the Edmonton Oilers got busy awfully quickly.

Oilers free agency: Is Edmonton better after Stan Bowman’s moves?
History has proven that the “winners” on July 1 rarely become the winners on the ice during the season. Spending big money in free agency doesn’t lead to Stanley Cup success very often, if ever. However, NHL teams can augment their team, and make smart, astute signings that keep them pushing in the right direction….
