How Edmonton Oilers’ salary cap and training camp impacts roster decisions

The Edmonton Oilers begin their preseason schedule Sunday with a home game against the Jets. The evaluations begin for GM Ken Holland, coach Jay Woodcroft and their respective staffs as they try to ice the best lineup for the Oct. 12 season opener. Without a trade, the Oilers will likely have to carry a 21-man roster instead of the maximum 23 players. PuckPedia did an excellent job explaining how the team can be cap compliant after Ryan McLeod’s one-year, $798,000 contract was finalized Wednesday. It”s projections call for Philip Broberg, Dylan Holloway, Ryan Murray and Brad Malone to make the opening roster.

Oilers forward corps very nearly set, with one spot to fill

The initial plan for this preview series was four parts, namely goalies, defencemen, wingers and centres. But with the last two categories remaining, there are too many forwards on the team capable of playing both to divide up the list in such a fashion.

The third key for Woodcroft in building the perfect defensive beast for Edmonton Oilers

Fifty goals is no small number in the run of a National Hockey League season. For a player, scoring that many goals means superstar status. For a team, a 50 goal differential is the difference between making the playoffs and not making the playoffs, the difference between a good NHL team and a great one. For the 2023-24 Edmonton Oilers, chopping 50…

The Oilers scratching Jesse Puljujarvi shows it’s time for them to part ways

EDMONTON - The long and winding road that's been Jesse Puljujarvi's career as an Oiler has all but reached a dead end. The only sensible move for all involved is to let him turn around and take a new path with another team.

The Edmonton Oilers are a team that relies heavily on the production of two players.

Scoring goals wasn't an issue for the Edmonton Oilers as a team last season. They tied Tampa Bay for 7th most goals in the NHL last averaging 3.48 goals/game. When Jay Woodcroft and Dave Manson arrived, the Oilers' offence improved to 3.82 goals/game, which was 5th best in the league for those 38 games. However, I'm not sure it was just the coaches…

Edmonton Oilers’ crisis shifts to embarrassment after loss to the Sharks

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Leon Draisaitl sat despondent in his stall in the visitors' dressing room with a thousand-mile stare.
