Edmonton is 33-26-9 but a roster overhaul is coming. $15 million in dead weight needs to go.
20 points in 64 games. Full NMC through 2026-27. Oilers explored a trade at the deadline but the clause blocked it.
Pending UFA. 2 goals, 10 points in 48 games. Currently on LTIR. The $3M walks off the books this summer.
.864 save percentage in Edmonton. Lost his job to Connor Ingram within weeks. The Skinner-Kulak trade backfired badly.
Edmonton has 7 forwards, 3 defensemen, and 0 goaltenders signed for 2026-27. Bowman needs a complete rebuild of the depth chart.
If Nurse moves and the UFAs walk, Edmonton could have over $30 million to spend. Cap ceiling rising to $104M.
McDavid is 29. Draisaitl is 30. The core is still elite. This summer defines whether the championship window stays open.
