Oilers' Josh Samanski: Poised to compete for spot
Samanski is expected to compete for a checking-line center role during training camp, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports Sunday.
Samanski flashed his skills as a reliable two-way forward last campaign. He contributed two goals, four points, nine shots on net, 14 blocked shots and 27 hits over 24 regular-season appearances with the Oilers in 2025-26. Samanski should get a long look at training camp, as Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) continues to recover from surgery. Janmark underwent the procedure in March, and it remains unclear when he will be ready to return.

Oilers' Isaac Howard: Looking to showcase growth
Howard told reporters Friday he wants to show growth and development heading into his second professional season.
Howard spent most of 2025-26 in the AHL with Bakersfield, though he managed five points in 29 NHL regular-season games for the Oilers. The 22-year-old said, "I think there's a lot of great lessons I took from it to help me grow as a player & come back ready for this camp." Howard will have to earn his spot for 2026-27, but if he sticks in the NHL, he eventually could find his way into a top-six role.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Optimistic ahead of camp
McDavid said Wednesday that he's healthy and refreshed ahead of training camp, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.
McDavid appeared in all 82 regular-season games last year for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign, and he generated 48 goals, 90 assists, 44 PIM, 40 hits and 30 blocked shots while averaging a career-high 23:00 of ice time. The Oilers had a first-round postseason exit, but McDavid has used the extended offseason to build optimism for the 2026-27 season, which will be the team's first year under head coach Mike Babcock. McDavid remains under contract with Edmonton for two more seasons, and the team will be especially motivated to contend for the Stanley Cup during that time in an attempt to retain the 29-year-old on a long-term basis.

Oilers' Alex Formenton: Agrees to one-year contract
Formenton signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.
Formenton had 18 goals and 32 points in 79 regular-season outings with Ottawa in 2021-22, but he hasn't played in the NHL since. The 26-year-old has instead played with Ambri-Piotta of Switzerland's National League, most recently recording 13 goals, 23 points and 48 PIM in 42 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. He'll compete for one of Edmonton's bottom-six spots during training camp.

Oilers' Matt Savoie: Won't participate in training camp
The Oilers announced Wednesday that Savoie (undisclosed) has been ruled out for training camp so he can rehab from an injury that occurred during an offseason training session.
Ryan Rishaug of TSN adds that Savoie is unlikely to be available until late October. While the exact nature of Savoie's injury isn't yet known, it's serious enough to sideline him for training camp activities in September. This news hurts Savoie's stock in upcoming fantasy drafts, but managers should keep an eye on him when he returns to the lineup -- he could be an appealing option if he winds up in a top-six role. The 22-year-old appeared in all 82 regular-season games last year and recorded 18 goals, 19 assists, 37 blocked shots, 24 PIM and 14 hits while averaging 14:47 of ice time.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Won't participate in training camp
The Oilers announced Wednesday that Janmark (undisclosed) isn't expected to participate in training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Janmark underwent season-ending surgery in late March to address a chronic injury, and he hasn't yet recovered enough to be ready for training camp in September. While the Oilers haven't officially revealed his status for the start of the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss time since he'll presumably need to ramp up before he's in the mix to return to game action. Across 43 regular-season appearances with Edmonton last year, he recorded a goal, seven assists, 22 PIM, 13 blocked shots and 10 hits while averaging 11:51 of ice time.

Oilers' Alec Regula: Recovering from offseason procedure
Regula, who underwent an undisclosed procedure shortly after the season, will not be available for training camp, the team announced Wednesday.
Regula appeared in only 29 regular-season games last year in which he generated three assists, 15 hits and 18 shots while averaging 14:28 of ice time. Even if fully fit, the 26-year-old defenseman likely faced an uphill battle to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster. As such, Regula is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

Oilers' Frederik Andersen: Set to miss training camp
Andersen will not take part in training camp due to an undisclosed injury suffered during the offseason, the Oilers announced Wednesday.
Per Ryan Rishaug of TSN, Andersen could be out until late October. Andersen looked poised to enter the 2026-27 season as the No. 1 option in Edmonton, but his absence from training camp could open the door for both Tristan Jarry and Devon Levi. Considering the 36-year-old Andersen hasn't appeared in more than 35 regular-season games since the 2021-22 campaign, he was unlikely to be a top goaltender option even if healthy. This injury could further impact his fantasy value.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Ready for 2026-27 campaign
Draisaitl feels healthy and is hopeful for the start of the 2026-27 campaign, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports Friday.
Draisaitl was limited to 65 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, his lowest mark over a full season during his NHL career. After missing the final month of the regular season due to a lower-body injury last year, he returned for the start of the postseason and recorded points in each of the Oilers' six first-round matchups against Anaheim. Draisaitl said that Edmonton's first-round exit gave him additional time to recover during the offseason, and he hopes that new head coach Mike Babcock will help the team find additional cohesion during the 2026-27 season. Across his 65 regular-season appearances last year, Draisaitl generated 35 goals, 62 assists, 34 hits, 26 PIM and 15 blocked shots while averaging 21:35 of ice time, and he remains one of the league's top fantasy options heading into this year.

Oilers' Colton Dach: Inks two-year contract
Dach signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract with Edmonton on Sunday.
Dach compiled five goals, 13 points, 58 shots on net, 219 hits and 52 PIM across 61 regular-season appearances between Edmonton and Chicago in 2025-26. As a member of the Oilers in the 2026-27 campaign, he should occupy a bottom-six role and could see time on the second power-play unit.

Oilers' Owen Michaels: Signs two-year contract
Michaels signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract with Edmonton on Monday.
Michaels signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers on April 2, but he didn't make his NHL debut. He had 13 goals and 26 points in 39 appearances with Western Michigan University during his junior year in 2025-26. It wouldn't be surprising if he started the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Bakersfield.

Oilers' Spencer Stastney: Signs one-year deal
Stastney signed a one-year, $1.575 million contract with Edmonton on Sunday.
Stastney generated two goals, 10 points, 56 shots on net and 63 blocked shots across 66 regular-season outings between Edmonton and Nashville in 2025-26. He will provide the Oilers' blue line with some depth in the 2026-27 campaign, but he may not play regularly unless injuries occur.

Oilers' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Agrees to two-year contract
Mukhamadullin signed a two-year, $3.5 million contract with Edmonton on Saturday, per NHL player agent Dan Milstein.
Mukhamadullin compiled five goals, 12 points, 49 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and 35 hits in 50 appearances with the Sharks during the 2025-26 campaign. Edmonton acquired the 24-year-old defender in a trade with San Jose on Wednesday. He will probably serve on the Oilers' third pairing in the 2026-27 season.

Oilers' Frederik Andersen: Linking up with Edmonton
Andersen signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Oilers on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
The deal's value could increase to $2.8 million with performance bonuses. Andersen can earn up to $1 million in bonuses for games played, and an additional $200,000 per playoff round the Oilers win in which he plays at least half of the games. It's a worthy gamble for the Oilers, who will get a Stanley Cup-winning goalie on the roster to pair with Tristan Jarry, as well as a quality depth option in Devon Levi. Given the various question marks with all three netminders, it wouldn't be surprising for Edmonton to carry all three throughout the season.

Oilers' Max Jones: Back with Edmonton
Jones (lower body) signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.
Jones had just five points with 22 shots on net and 56 hits over 21 regular-season outings with the Oilers last season. He also had 18 points in 39 games with AHL Bakersfield. He ended the season sidelined by an injury, but he was expected to be healthy in May. That should clear the way for Jones to compete for bottom-six minutes in training camp.

Oilers' Mathieu Joseph: Joining Edmonton on one-year deal
Joseph signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Oilers on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Joseph had 11 points, 36 shots on net, 115 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 51 regular-season outings between the Blues and the Kings in 2025-26. The 29-year-old forward will be on his fifth NHL team in his career. If Joseph makes the Oilers' roster in training camp, he'll likely fill a bottom-six role.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Sticking with Edmonton
Kapanen signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.
Kapanen tested the market but opted to stick in a familiar spot for another campaign. The 29-year-old winger produced eight goals, nine assists, 65 shots on net, 75 hits and 14 PIM over 41 regular-season outings with Edmonton in 2025-26. When healthy, he has previously shown 30-point potential. However, fantasy managers should expect something more in the range of 20-25 points with moderate physicality if he continues to fill a middle-six role in 2026-27.

Oilers' Eduards Tralmaks: Agrees to two-way contract
Tralmaks signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.
Tralmaks hasn't made his NHL debut yet, but he was productive with AHL Grand Rapids in 2025-26. He recorded 26 goals, 16 assists and 14 PIM across 64 regular-season appearances with Detroit's top minor-league affiliate. It wouldn't be surprising to see him spend the bulk of his time in the minors next campaign.
... See More ... See Less -
Oilers' Ryan Shea: Signs with Edmonton
Shea signed a five-year, $20 million contract with the Oilers on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Shea had a career-best regular season with the Penguins in 2025-26, recording six goals, 29 assists, 92 blocked shots, 38 hits and 22 PIM while averaging 18:53 of ice time. The 29-year-old should occupy a third-pairing role and see time on the penalty kill in the 2026-27 campaign for the Oilers.

Oilers' Zack Sharp: Traded Wednesday
Sharp and Shakir Mukhamadullin were acquired by Edmonton from San Jose on Wednesday in exchange for Darnell Nurse.
Sharp had five goals and 19 points in 37 appearances with Western Michigan University as a sophomore in 2025-26. The Sharks took him with the No. 124 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. The 21-year-old is likely to be a long-term project for the Oilers, so don't expect him to be in the conversation for an NHL roster spot over the next couple of years.
