The Edmonton Oilers have only really “gone for it” at a trade deadline once in the Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl era. They’ve made the playoffs every season since 2019-20, but often add depth pieces. In 2020, they acquired Andreas Athanasiou and Mike Green, then Dmitry Kulikov in 2021. The next season saw them add…
Make no mistake, the situation between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights is nothing short of “he said, she said.” Word leaked early this month that the Oilers, with Kris Knoblauch still under contract, wanted to speak with Bruce Cassidy, fired months earlier by the Golden Knights. Vegas wouldn’t play ball, still won’t play…
A new report on Friday morning says the Edmonton Oilers might not be getting a Russian prospect to come to North America after all. Dark horse prospect Maxim Berezkin, 24, is fresh off his second Gagarin Cup in the KHL a week ago, and it’s been anticipated that the former fifth-round draft pick was going…

We are fully in speculation season in the NHL. It’s too early for any significant moves to actually happen, and outside of a few players re-signing with their current clubs, we probably won’t see any real significant moves until after the Stanley Cup final concludes. So, for now, all we have are bits and pieces…

It appears that Evan Bouchard is doing well after suffering a scary hit Thursday in the World Championship quarter-final. Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman joined Oilers Now later in the day, and when asked about Bouchard, Bowman mentioned he was texting with the defenceman, who was “okay” after the hit. Stan Bowman on @OilersNow…

After Thursday’s slate of games, there is just one Edmonton Oilers player remaining in the 2026 IIHF World Championship. Josh Samanski and Team Germany were eliminated after finishing with just 10 points in the preliminary round, leaving just four Oilers remaining in the tournament. Thursday saw all four quarter-final games take place, with Canada’s Evan…
Apparently, the Edmonton Oilers leaked the Bruce Cassidy news that he hasn’t been granted permission to speak to other teams — at least that’s what Kelly McCrimmon says. The Vegas Golden Knights general manager joined TSN’s Overdrive on Thursday afternoon, just a few hours after the latest Bruce Cassidy interview happened on Spittin’ Chiclets. McCrimmon said…
In the NHL, it doesn’t matter if the rules are dumb. All that matters is that they’re enforced consistently. At least, that’s what I always hear from fans. It’s a near-constant refrain, one that comes up especially often at this time of year. There’s a call, or a non-call, or a referee blinks somewhere, and fans are furious about it. But not because the break went against their team, you understand. These fans aren’t raving homers who want every break to go their team’s way. They just want con...
The Edmonton Oilers made a number of changes to their front office Thursday, headlined by Michael Parkatti and Kalle Larsson getting promotions. Parkatti, who joined the Oilers in 2023 as a senior director of data and analytics, now takes on the role of vice-president of analytics and technology. To support him in his new role, the…
There are four NHL teams with head coaching vacancies, including the Edmonton Oilers, and the top candidate is growing frustrated sitting on the sidelines. The Bruce Cassidy situation continues with no updates on the relieved coach’s ability to seek another job, still under contract with the Vegas Golden Knights for one year after this one…
Move over, Vegas Golden Knights. There’s a new public enemy No. 1 in Edmonton, and his name is Ryan Lindgren. This morning in the World Championship game, Lindgren, playing for the U.S., laid a massive hit on Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard, who is representing Canada. Bouchard was shaken up after the hit and needed help…
Edmonton Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard was knocked out of Team Canada’s quarter-final game against the U.S. Thursday after being on the receiving end of a dirty hit. He took the hit just 6:12 into the first period of the game, when Bouchard skated the puck into the American zone. U.S. defenceman Ryan Lindgren stepped up…
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns tonight with a look at a pile of stories that have emerged in the hockey world over the last week or so.

Interest in long-time NHL head coach Peter Laviolette is growing across the league, including from the Edmonton Oilers. But there’s been so little reporting on who the Oilers have reached out to in this coaching search. As The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta said on Oilersnation Everyday, Edmonton is keeping things very quiet, but little tidbits…

A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
This might seem like a historical piece abhHL in Augusta, Georgia from 1998 until 2009 in front of rather modest crowds during that era. The Lynx's best season came in 1999-2000 when the team was eliminated in the third round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs, but that history may get a chance to be overwritten by the ECHL's 32nd franchise that will begin play in 2027-28. This new team will be called the Augusta Lynx, but the logo, colours, and branding for these cats will be completely new and wholly...
